Historical Badass Fantasy.. Go!
Legend of Crystania: The Chaos Ring is a well known series from a 1993-2002 series of novels, and is a sequel to the full length Motion Picture, released in 1998 on VHS. The dub is actually pretty good, and keeps the theme intact. I love this Record of Lodoss War-like anime series, and is easy to watch in the background. Don't get me wrong, this has everything you want in a anime of the time- Blood, violence, nudity, and that gritty 90's aesthetic.
