Top 5 Anime's in the 90s to Early 2000s

Browsing Youtube in the middle of the night has its advantages, I get to watch videos which popped into my mind. Tonight, I reminisced on some of the best Anime's during my time, back when 10:00 AM and 3:30 PM would mean that I have to run towards my TV set and watch my favorite cartoons, that is unless I have school. The 1990s and early 2000s are the golden age of Anime's from ABS-CBN which usually have plot lines similar to a soap opera. It was not until the early 2000s that GMA usurped the throne from ABS-CBN and marketed some of the best action-packed Anime in their primetime slot. And so, without further ado, here is my list of the best Anime from ABS-CBN.

5. REMI-NOBODY'S GIRL

- Remi is one of those shows which really made everyone cry for the misfortunes of this child. From the deaths of some important characters and even to the death of her animal friends. What really imprinted in me was the song for the opening credit. This has been the most hurtful song I have ever heard in my entire life. The lyrics were so simple yet it can pierce the heart through and through.

4. PETER PAN/ANG ALAMAT NI SNOW WHITE

- Peter Pan and Snow White are just one of the anime's based on the most beloved fairy tales ever heard and read. While both have successful Disney adaptations, Peter Pan and Snow White has both captured our hearts every 10AM. Snow White, on the other hand, is over blown in this version and showed that the evilness of the Queen is boundless. No wonder the whole story lasted for months. Peter Pan, on the other hand, made waves with its classic comedic timing especially with Smee capturing us all with his wacky antics.

3. A DOG OF FLANDERS

- It was that time when everyone's dog is named Patrasche. Do you still remember him? I did. I remember how Nelo and Patrasche work together selling milk all over town to support their ailing grandfather. I can still remember that I was in 3rd Grade when this was released and boy, do I have to run at 10am just to catch the show.

2. CEDIE, ANG MUNTING PRINSIPE

- Probably one of the most famous character ever graced the television. A story of a boy in New York who happened to be of royalty descent. He met his grandfather and separated him from his mother. It was in that moment that Cedie was able to soften the heart of his strict and firm grandfather. Cedie, together with Sarah was the birth of good children's Anime in our era. 

1. PRINCESS SARAH

- Princess Sarah tells about the misfortunes of a child after the death of her wealthy father. Being enrolled in an exclusive girl's school, the news of the death of her father left her devastated and nowhere to go. Miss Minchin, on the other hand, is willing to keep her but she has to work as a servant inside the school. Sarah begins to be bullied and be a subject of maltreatment from Miss Minchin and the other students. Sarah is considered to be a legend in Philippine television and up until now, Sarah would remain the princess with a big heart.
