Fire Tripper, Akira, The Woman Called Fujiko Mine, Bayonetta, looks familiar but ??? for now, and Cowboy Bebop, I think?
The fifth looks like a 70s-era anime, I feel like I’ve seen the one with the cats but maybe I’m just groping in the dark… uh, Parasite Dolls is my last guess and then I’m throwing in the towel for the sixth entry.
Oo, these are tricky! I agree, number 2 is Akira. Number 3 looks like Lupin the 3rd, but I’m not sure which series or movie. For the last image, I almost want to say it’s from an episode of Detective Conan, but maybe not? It’s from a detective series, right?
Nice! Spot on for those two, and the Lupin one is ‘The Woman Called Fujiko Mine’.
‘Detective Conan’ is a similar vintage, absolutely. But I have a clue, which might give the final image away, but it’s from a famous show with robots π

Nice! Four out of five of your guesses are spot on π
It’s not Bebop, but definitely a 1990s anime there. (The other one, the pic with the harp is a fair bit older.)

Very close with the 1970s – the film is from 1968 π

Is the last one Neon Genesis Evangelion? One of the ladies was a really heavy smoker, wasn’t she?
