9 classic 90s anime that deserve an action-packed remake
The 1990s were a golden era for anime, producing a slew of action-packed series that helped define genres, establish tropes, and lay the foundation for today's anime culture. From sword-wielding heroes to space bounty hunters, these shows captivated audiences with their high-energy battles, emotional storytelling, and unforgettable characters. However, despite their iconic status, many of these classics are burdened by the technical limitations of their time—dated animation, inconsistent pacing, and production constraints that prevented some from realizing their full potential. With modern animation technology, improved storytelling standards, and a growing appetite for remakes and reboots, now is the perfect time to revisit these nostalgic gems. A well-crafted remake could breathe new life into these series—reintroducing them to younger audiences and giving long-time fans a visually and emotionally upgraded experience. Inspired in part by a curated list from Game Rant , here are nine classic 1990s action anime that deserve a thoughtful and high-quality modern remake. 1. Flame of Recca The Underrated Ninja Epic With Fiery Potential Originally highlighted by Game Rant for its tournament arcs and ninja lore. Original Release: July 19, 1997 Studio: Pierrot Episodes: 42 Manga By: Nobuyuki Anzai Current Score (MyAnimeList): 7.34 A spiritual successor to Yu Yu Hakusho , Flame of Recca tells the story of Recca Hanabishi, a modern-day teenager who discovers his lineage from a flame-wielding ninja clan. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch CFD với công nghệ và tốc độ tốt hơn IC Markets Đăng ký Undo The series blends traditional ninja lore with supernatural powers, martial arts tournaments, and a deeply personal journey of self-discovery. 2. Berserk (1997) A Dark Fantasy Classic Deserving a Worthy Adaptation Original Release: October 8, 1997 Studio: OLM Episodes: 25 Manga By: Kentaro Miura Current Score (MyAnimeList): 8.59 Kentaro Miura's Berserk is a grim masterpiece that explores the brutal life of Guts, a lone mercenary entangled in a cycle of war, betrayal, and demonic terror. While Game Rant acknowledges the 1997 version as the best adaptation to date, a full remake with modern animation could finally capture the manga's rich, tragic scope. 3. Yu Yu Hakusho The Spirit Detective Saga That Set the Shōnen Standard Original Release: 1992–1994 Studio: Pierrot Episodes: 112 Manga By: Yoshihiro Togashi Current Score (MyAnimeList): 8.46 Recognized by Game Rant as a foundational shōnen, Yu Yu Hakusho stands the test of time in story and characters. However, a visual refresh and refined pacing could elevate this supernatural saga for today's generation of anime fans. 4. Outlaw Star A Space Western Worthy of Revival Original Release: January 1998 Studio: Sunrise Episodes: 26 Manga By: Takehiko Itō Current Score (MyAnimeList): 7.83 Outlaw Star was praised in the Game Rant piece for its fusion of sci-fi and Western themes. A modern remake could build on its legacy, especially in a post- Cowboy Bebop streaming era hungry for stylized space operas. 5. The Big O Noir Meets Mecha in a Memory-Loss Dystopia Original Release: October 13, 1999 Studio: Sunrise Episodes: 26 (Two Seasons) Cited for its unique genre-blending style, The Big O offers a noir-meets-mecha story that's well-suited for a modern comeback. A clearer narrative direction and high-budget animation could bring this cult favorite new acclaim. 6. Revolutionary Girl Utena A Symbolic Masterpiece Ready for Rediscovery Original Release: April 1997 Studio: Episodes: 39 Created By: Be-Papas Current Score (MyAnimeList): 8.22 According to Game Rant , Utena's exploration of identity and gender roles makes it an ideal candidate for a remake. Today's social climate is primed for a reboot that remains faithful to its progressive roots while updating its accessibility. 7. Nadia: The Secret of Blue Water Steampunk Adventure Through Jules Verne's Lens Original Release: 1990 Studio: Gainax & Group TAC Episodes: 39 Game Rant included Nadia for its thematic depth and connection to 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea . A remake could enhance its steampunk elements, streamline the pacing, and improve on the sometimes uneven animation. 8. Crows High School Gangs and Gritty Street Justice Original Release: January 1994 Studio: Knack Productions Episodes: OVA series Based on Hiroshi Takahashi's manga, Crows deserves a remake as gritty as the street fights it portrays. Game Rant rightly identified this early 90s OVA as a raw gem awaiting proper adaptation. 9. Blue Seed Mythology, Monsters, and Missed Opportunities Original Release: October 1994 Studios: Production I.G & Ashi Productions Episodes: 26 + OVA Game Rant spotlighted Blue Seed for its mythological approach and urban action, noting that a remake could better explore its fascinating Japanese folklore themes with modern storytelling and aesthetics.
