Two days belated, but 29 years ago on February 15th, 1997, Cutie Honey Flash would premiere on TV Asahi where it ran for 39 episodes until January 31st, 1998. Taking over the timeslot of Sailor Moon Sailor Stars & and the third anime in the Cutie Honey franchise originally created by Go Nagai, it was animated at Toei Douga (now Toei Animation) as their last TV anime to use traditional cel animation (though digital characters on traditional backgrounds were planned, but later rejected), directed by Noriyo Sasaki, headwritten by Ryota Yamaguchi (The Vision of Escaflowne, Sailor Stars, Digimon Savers), designs by Miho Shimogasa (Powerpuff Girls Z, NightWalker, Kaitou Joker, Battle Spirits Shonen Toppa Bashin, animation director for Sailor Moon SuperS) & music by Toshihiko Sahashi (Gundam Seed, Hunter x Hunter 1999).

It would also take on more of a Shojo feel in with its' designs & adopting more traditional magical girl elements, but also having a major focus on Honey & Seiji's romantic relationship, Honey gaining a rival in Misty Honey and lastly, Honey in this series is not an android, but rather an artificial lifeform created from a seed from the Matter Transformer. Flash follows sixteen year old Honey Kisaragi, who attends St. Chapel Academy with her best friend Natsuko Aki, when one day, her scientist father Takeshi gets kidnapped by the Panther Claw organization while he left behind a device known as the Matter Transformer, which when Honey taps the heart on her choker and shouts "Honey Flash!" turns into the Warrior of Love, Cutie Honey as she battles the forces of Panther Claw including Sister Jill, gaining help from the Twilight Prince, dealing with her love life with Seiji and ultimately gets into a conflict with Seira Hazuki, who like Honey is a Matter Transformer created lifeform who transforms into Misty Honey.

Aside from a companion film in July 1997, it also received a manga version by Yukako Iisaka in Shogakukan's Ciao and a game for the Sega Pico by Bandai. Flash, as of 2026 is the last Cutie Honey anime not to be officially licensed in the US by Discotek Media, but fansubs using the laserdisc & DVD releases of the series were made.

A day belated, but 27 years ago on February 13th, 1999, the anime adaptation of Phantom Thief Jeanne aired on TV Asahi for 44 episodes where it ran until January 29th, 2000.
Based on the manga of the same name by Arina Tanemura (Full Moon wo Sagashite) that ran in Shueisha's Ribon magazine, it was animated at Toei Animation & being one of their earliest digital anime, directed by Atsutoshi Umezawa (Ghost Sweeper Mikami, Neighborhood Story, Kinnikuman: Scramble for the Throne), headwritten by Sukehiro Tomita (Sailor Moon, Digimon Frontier), designs by Hisashi Kagawa (Fresh PreCure) and music by Michiaki Kato.

It follows the adventures of sixteen year old Maron Kusakabe, who is the reincarnation of Jeanne d'Arc and after being visited by the angel Finn Fish, he not only gives her the power to transform into the titular Phantom Thief Jeanne, but also tasks her to gather pieces of God's power of which was scattered across the Earth and hunt down demons hidden within beautiful art pieces while also dealing with her love for Chiaki Nagoya, who is secretly Phantom Thief Sinbad and is trying to stop Maron from collecting the demons.

While the show ended after 44 episodes due to low ratings, the manga however would continue past volume 5 for 30 more chapters concluding with volume 7, with the anime itself developing a following over the years among fans of magical girl anime and even getting a Blu-Ray release in 2023. Unlike the manga which was licensed in the US by Viz Media, the Phantom Thief Jeanne anime has yet to be licensed there, but complete fansubs of it have since been made.

35 years ago on February 11th, 1991, the anime version of Getter Robo Go would air on TV Tokyo & TV Setouchi, running for 50 episodes until its' end on January 27th, 1992. Made in place of an unrealized Mazinger Z remake & running alongside the manga of the same name by the late Ken Ishikawa but differing from it heavily (such as Go, Sho, Gai having different designs, the Getters being made from the G Ore instead of plasma, the Super Getter Go upgrade and Dr. Rando and the Metal Beasts residing at a Polar base instead of the Vega Zone), it was animated by Toei Douga (now Toei Animation), directed by Hiroki Shibata (Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo, Himitsu no Akko-chan 1998), headwritten by the late Hiroyuki Hoshiyama (Gundam 0079, Cyber Formula, Transformers Victory), designs by Jouji Oshima and music by the late Michiaki Watanabe.

Taking place in the year 200X, a scientist by the name of Dr. Rando has gone mad to disturb the peace of the Earth and plans on conquering it with his genetically altered officers & super robot army of Metal Beasts. To deal with this, the Japanese Defense Agency enlists the help of NISAR, who have developed a robot known as the Getter Robo, and despite some reluctance from the project's head, Dr. Tachibana, the Getter Robo takes the fight to Dr. Rando & the Metal Beasts, being piloted by Go Ichimoji, Sho Tachibana & Gai Daido.

The show would be the last mecha anime that Toei Animation made until 2005's Gaiking: Legend of Daiku-Maryu; interestingly, the anime would make a hybrid debut in Super Robot Wars via the now discontinued Super Robot Wars X-Ω mobile game, where it used the manga version's characters and used the anime version's mecha. While Go along with Toei's prior two anime have yet to be released in the US by Discotek Media, a fansub of 30 out of the 50 episodes were done by LonelyChaser Fansubs.

30 years ago, on February 7th, 1996, Dragon Ball GT aired on Fuji TV where it ran for 64 episodes until its' run on November 19th, 1997. The third TV anime in the Dragon Ball franchise and being an anime original continuation, it was animated at Toei Douga (now Toei Animation), directed by Osamu Kasai, headwritten by Aya Matsui & Atsushi Maekawa, designed by Katsuyoshi Nakatsuru, music by Akihito Tokunaga and contrary to popular belief, featured involvement from franchise creator and original series mangaka, the late Akira Toriyama during the show's planning stages & contributing plotlines and concept character designs to the show.

Taking place five years after the original manga's end/End of Z, it follows the further exploits of Goku, who is finishing up his training with his pupil Oob within the Lookout, when three of his old enemies Pilaf, Shu & Mai sneak into the Lookout to find the Black Star Dragon Ball and Pilaf makes a wish that turns Goku back into a kid again; After Kaio informs him that the Black Star Balls not only scattered across the galaxy, but also that the Earth will explode in a year if they aren't brought back, Goku, Pan & Trunks (and later joined by Gill/Giru) go on a journey with the Grand Tour Spaceship built by Capsule Corporation to travel to different planets to get back the Dragon Balls within a year and taking on many foes that await them along the way.

While GT garners more divisive reception compared to its' predecessors to this day, ratings wise it would do well in Japan, averaging a 14.6%, with its' highest being a 19.7% and lowest 9.6%; though no original anime movie based on it was made, some staff members from it would brought on to produce the 17th Dragon Ball film, The Path to Power in March 1996, using GT's visual style and retelling the original Dragon Ball's early arcs; a TV in March 1997 was also made in A Hero's Legacy, set a hundred years after the show's last arc. GT was also the last entry to use traditional cel animation, as all future Dragon Ball anime would be digitally animated (Toriyama's first anime work overall to go digital would be the 1997 Dr. Slump remake, which took over GT's timeslot).

The show also received two games, the first in the form of the poorly received Dragon Ball Final Bout in August 1997, and the second with Transformation in 2005, as well as GT featured in future games in the franchise. Finally, the fan favorite Super Saiyan 4 transformation would make its' in Dragon Ball Daima in 2025, with the redesign being conceived by Toriyama and adapted into the anime by Nakatsuru.
