As someone who watches a few shoes per year, I haven’t heard of any of these. Wikipedia says bubblegum crisis is an 8 episode one off from over 30 years ago. I’m amused at your definition of obscure.
Some more prominent examples they don't have: Ghost in the Shell (except for Arise, which TBQH is slop), Serial Experiments Lain, even Neon Genesis Evangelion (tbf, I think Netflix has it?).
Here's a nice little taste of Bubblegum Crisis: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=an_0IIRDlc4
Tangentially, some cool anime got aired on this local PBS station: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kvUfoDH_1w0
It’s old but it’s one of those foundation pieces that really bridged the gap into western markets.
Having seen a lot of shoes on the shoe rack is quite distinct from being aware of the major influences in the footwear market.
I just don’t really expect something like crunchy roll to be carrying titles that are over 30 years old and I think it’s kind of silly to expect them to do otherwise. Not that I really use crunchy roll.
I perceive a different vibe of crunchyroll cataloging stuff like that vs Netflix offering things like neon genesis, cowboy bebop, and other impactful old titles. Idk if I can justify that belief. Perhaps it’s just that Netflix’s anime catalog is small and honestly pretty well curated cache for people that probably aren’t anime watchers. I kind of expect crunchyroll to be a service that focuses only on the latest stuff with ads and merch for big anime fans.
I (and this is just me) expect my local library to carry 125 year old stage plays such as The Importance of Being Earnest .. and it does.
I expect an online libray of AV media to carry copies of material that was influential and popular when I was 30 .. (such as the anime series under discussion).
If Crunchyroll is just service that focuses upon trending bleeding edge viral latest fad material then so be it.
That by no means makes the plays of Oscar Wilde nor the popular culture of our youth obscure .. it just means that those that don't look outside a particular bubble won't see a bigger landscape.
If I travel to the next town, they have a couple of bland shoe shops that sell generic shoes, a few outfitters that have various work boots.
There's a capital city 100 km away that has almost every type of shoe you might want, sold across a multitude of stores, with the exception of exclusive high end brands that might require travelling to London, Milan, Paris, etc to source in person .. perhaps they deign to mail such goods now (that seems unlikely).
…But that changed last year, so it may now appear somewhere, somehow.
And yet
