The "Golden Age" of anime in North America is now. Between streaming and physical releases we have more available now than ever before. There is less lag time between Japan and here even for physical release. If you like older anime it is available too. In many cases cheaper and in better quality than you could have gotten it when new. If you like conventions there seems to be something near everyone. When I was new to anime (shortly after Zac) I watched everything I could get my hands on and it wasn't enough. Now people complain that there is too much coming out to keep track of. Like I said a Golden Age.
With regard to the question about toy producing anime. From the viewpoint of a figure collector the most prolific would have to be Evangelion followed by Ikki Tosen, though the Fate franchise may have surpassed the latter. |

Coincidentally, The Fine Bros of Kids React series fame just released a DO TEENS KNOW 90s ANIME? (REACT: Do They Know It) video a couple weeks ago:

Ya guys may be surprised what US teens today know or do not know, regardless how easy it seems. If you're a recent teen, see how many ya know yourself. |

In my opinion the golden age is definitely 1985-1995, the era of the really strange and creative OVAs, which feature some of the most interesting animation and narrative structures I've seen in anything. You can tell that so much of this is the unique vision of the artists and directors as opposed to them making something that they think people will like, and a lot of it is really experimental because they were figuring stuff out. The general art style of the time is somehting I enjoy immensely and wish some things would go back to (especially since there's none of that awful CG).
I agree with your era assignments give or take a year, ikillchicken, and the OVA era is definitely my favorite. I really wish things would go to something more like that, because the whole vibe of the time was a lot more creative and vibrant. Here are some of my favorites from that era, all of which I'd recommend Nausicaa Key the Metal Idol Gall Force Dirty Pair Genesis Surviver Gaiarth Heroic Legend of Arislan Birth Windaria Goshogun the Time Etranger Ai City Angel's Egg Venus wars Genmu Senki Leda Gunbuster Wings of Honneamise Magnetic Rose Grey: Digital Target Nayuta Green Legend Ran Phantom Quest Corp Silent Mobius They Were 11 Bobby's in Deep Cosmo Police Justy Soliton no Akuma Kazu&Yasu: Hero Tanjou Man I could keep going but I think I'll leave it at that. |
