MegaTokyo 2033: Tokyo was left flattened as a result from a great earthquake. A new city, MegaTokyo, was then recreated due in no small part from the aid of a multi-million dollar company, Genom Corp. Genom created and mass-produced biomechanical creatures called Boomers to aid in the restoration of MegaTokyo. When the Boomers began to run out of control, the ADPolice at first tried to stop them, but they proved to be far more difficult to deal with than was first imagined. Under the ever looming Boomer threat, a group of four girls from varying degrees of society banded together. Calling themselves The Knight Sabers, they were the only ones with enough firepower and resourcefullness to defend the fledgling MegaTokyo from Genom and it's berserk Boomers.

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.
I saw Perfect Blue in theaters. It must have been 1999. I remember just being burnt out on movies that were about not knowing what was real and what wasn’t. There were so many that year (The Matrix and eXistenZ just to name two.)
Speaking of having a little too much homage, an old anime I like (mostly nostalgia) is Bubblegum Crisis and it has direct rip-offs from Blade Runner and Streets of Fire.
