Gateway Drugs. Or How I Got To Know Anime.

I first started watching anime, back in 1992, when I was still in grade school and we has a penpal exchange program. One of our assignments was to exchange different things from each culture. I was quite ond of cartoons, so I desided that it would be the best subject matter for the occasion. I sent her some of my Disney tapes, and in return she sent some of her Sailormoon items. At first I wasn't all to amazed and wonderd what the obession was with the huge eyes and super powers. But after awhile, the story grew on me.The only problem was I had no idea what they were saying, so it was kind of hard to follow in certain areas.Plus I only had one volume of the series, and it was very hard to for me to continue to enjoy something that was half finished.

So, I eventually forgot Sailormoon and went back to my other hobbies. Later on, I went back to liking anime when I had encounterd Scifi channels eairly morning line up, hosted by Apollo Smile. They featured the Tenchi Muyo movie, Armatage the 3rd, and Akira. There was also some major influences from the various video games my brother would play on his NES & SNES. The one that impacted me the most was Megaman. And times when I had picked up a few things from Block Buster, mostly video game animes.

Will do. But we all have different tastes. Those are just things I grew up on. I guess I am just into anime based off video games. Though, I will admit, most adaptions are anything but accurate. So, I can kind of see why many people dislike them.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
