Personally I can never quite put where Gundam and Transformers belong too, I thought Gundam was very cartoon like, but then Transformers also have very anime qualities.
Adding to a list of recommended shows:
Yesterday we were talking about cooking shows, and this COOKING MASTER BOY came to the topic and I was nostalgia'd.
For a 1995-ish anime this is quite aged, but all cooking anime aside, there is hardly a long running one where frying pans and woks are filled with disco lights and rainbows, while time traveling across China and making Tofu enough to kill emperors (via tastebud explosion) with a host of similiarly crazier cooking characters who duel it out in a battle of the chefs thing that involves enemies kidnapping, stealing your food etc...
It is basically iron Chef, but anime form with all its tricks. It is probably side by side with some of the crazy cooking shows about like Yakitate Japan.
and speaking of aged oldies, I didn't think Ranma 1/2 was pretty good on the anime side, wished those chop solid colors were not so ugh, but then for a show that age, I guess you can't expect much. It is still funny though.
