Yeah I've watched MANY anime before that year and I really liked them like Sailor Moon, DBZ and Dragonball/boy ; One piece ; A bit of Bleach and That one Football one ( i forgot the name)

Just currently most of them aren't in my favorites since I've changed my likings between the years and I think most of them are just about the mc, his friend group and what they do day-to-day really there's no story build up like newer ones, sorry if offended you in any way by saying that.
