Anime of the Season

Blue Seed- Blue Seed is one of the early relatively long series I remember the most.  Currently, I find it unwatchable (my tolerance for Victim A main characters in serious stories is virtually zero nowadays), but at the time it was quite enjoyable.  Like a lot of the classics from this era, its setting was kind of iffy and poorly explained even within the story.  That it was still enjoyable at the time was primarily due to the aesthetic and the male lead.

Rayearth- My first experience with Magic Knight Rayearth was actually the Sega Saturn game, which had an excellent story and was one of the few early-era jrpgs to have voice-acting.  The anime is also fairly good, even if it glosses over some details.  The ending of the first season is pretty sad as the result of a particular plot twist.

Darkside Blues- One of several movies from this decade I wish they had a sequel for.  An enjoyable experience at the time, though sadly short.

DNA 2 - Karin did remind me of Botan from Yu Yu Hakusho, and let's just say that the concept of Mega Playboy is sounds ridiculous on paper (And in practice as well). I did watch it on Animax out of boredom, and the ending is somewhat bittersweet to a degree.

Macross 7 - My favorite Precure reviewer did made several mention of it, and it's mainly in regard of Basara in that it also has one very over the top (And awesome) scene when he need to recover his voice (And successful) in episode 27. That aside the love triangle here is not like in previous Macross with two female, but instead it's in regard of Mylene who's involved with two handsome guy (She's fall in love with Basara while at the same time she has fiancee). Macross 7 here is also the one that solidify itself as the series that put more focus on the music by establishing the MC as the band member, in which it's contrast with the previous series that has the MC worked as the spaceship pilot. Apparently the change is not accepted by the fans, although then again in Japan it's very popular so perhaps there's some difference of taste between the region.

Rayearth 1 - Note that I add '1' because it's the first part of the series with the second part has different story. I did come across it out of boredom when I do some searching on Working Design (The one behind Lunar liberal localization), and I found out that they've been working on the video game version of this. Game aside, this is usual isekai work with the three girls are tasked to rescue the princess who've been kidnapped by her very loyal knight (Sort of like FF1 early story, so it's normal if you find the story is like usual RPG), although turned out that there's something more behind the mission that would became the burden that is far too heavy to bear for the three girls. Almost forgot to mention that this is CLAMP work, and it's lighter than their previous works despite the particular twist that mod Clephas mentioned.

That's all for what I can say in regard of Fall 1994 anime.
