I'm a big fan of "Iria: Zeiram the Animation" (1994). It's animated prequel to the live-action Zeiram movies. It's also a very uniquely designed anime. I finally found some good model sheets. It's currently streaming on Amazon if you wanted to check it out.

"Starbox & Cindy: Dog Days" (s3 ep5) featured some funny dogs. These designs are based on drawings by Katie Rice and the board artists. The finals are by Bryan Arnett and Kristen Campbell. Love how cartoony these dogs turned out!
