Ooo, I remember the English Maya the Bee dub that aired on Nickelodeon when I was younger. That one totally slipped my mind.

Cartoon network used to be a pay channel, like HBO or what not. They could show anything they wanted, and one time back in 89 I think, they had a Animarathon. It was nothing but hardcore Akira, Sailor Moon, Vampire Hunter D, Robotech, etc. All uncensored. It was incredible, I was like 3. I peed my pants like, 4 times during the course of the marathon...

Did you bother to change them at all, or did you just wallow in it like a dog?

Well I know you are joking.. and incase you are just trying to confuse people, Sailor Moon wasn't even created yet...

*Voltron* · 04-21-2003, 12:21 AM

I'm not joking! Dammit, has the line between reality and fantasy blurred that much? No, I know what I saw and perhaps SM wasnt on it but I distinctly remember that happening. The commercial was a guy saying "Like Japanese Animation? So do we....That's why Cartoon Network is bringing you x amount of time of Anime!" and it was glorious. I do believe Sailor Moon was around back then, but seeing as how you are an authority, I will not stand by that statement.

**GK Punk** · 04-21-2003, 01:37 AM

And you wonder why no one responds to you

**azure turtle** · 04-21-2003, 03:05 AM

Erm... Let's try to keep things pleasant, hmm?

My first anime? Okay. I'll admit it. The first anime I remember watching was Sailor Moon. After that, I got into DBZ. Since then, I've been branching out into other genres and shows. I'm currently following Trigun and .Hack on CN... But I only catch them whenever I can.

Ok, I'll believe you saw Vampire Hunter D on Cartoon Network...But it was probably on around 1995, *not* 1989. I don't think Cartoon Network even exsited in '89. Also, Sailor Moon wasn't even created until 1992, so you definately didn't see that.

As to Robotech...it was always shown uncensored. Now, you could call it a Censored version of *Macross*, but I don't think Robotech as a whole has ever been censored.

*That Matt Guy* · 04-21-2003, 05:34 AM

You never saw any anime besides Speed Racer on Cartoon Network. I have had that channel forever, and it was all Hanna-Barbera and some other odd ball stuff from the 60s and 70s. They didn't start to show anime stuff until Toonami got started.

And I do remember that "x amount of anime" thing but it was like 1996/1997 when they did that, before Toonami

**GK Punk** · 04-21-2003, 05:36 AM

Thanks Chibi and Matt, I was 12 when sailor moon was created I remember hearing about it in Animerica. Hell I have the manga that sailor moon was based on, copyright, 1991

Shellfox · 04-21-2003, 11:54 AM

Pretty sure my first show was voltron, if your going to do a show do one of the best

*Nickokapo* · 04-21-2003, 12:07 PM

Sailor moon was around back in 89, so was samurai pizza cats and TMNT 2003.

*kyabetsu* · 04-21-2003, 12:37 PM

BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM!!

uh... yeah i never followed Sailor Moon... i was in High School by the time it was playing on Afternoon TV where i Lived. And not that i didn't ADORE (still adore) cartoons in High School, but it got repetative. I loved watching for all of 5 episodes, but by then, i'd figured out what each of the characters powers were and who the ChibiMoon was and Why nobody but Serina was gonna have to end up with Tuxedo Mask.

So yeah, i think i found it when i was too old... though i STILL have MAD appreciation for the sweet transformation and attack sequences.

BOOM BOOM BOOM!!

Zenrick · 04-21-2003, 12:50 PM

ahhhh definitely Akira many moons ago......it was back when the Sci Fi channel had Saturday Anime at 6am..........what amazing programming, I want it back!

CookSux · 04-21-2003, 01:05 PM

GK you sure you have your facts straight about SM being made in 91? If I remember correctly, that was about the time it started being dubbed in America. SM was around in Japan years earlier... but then again I could be wrong. I'm not a devout SM fan as most people. But getting back to subject, my first anime probably had to have been Astroboy. I also remember renting Mazinger Z tapes, and TaeKwon V tapes from the korean grocery store back when I was a kid. I don't think it was until I saw an early broadcast of Sailor Moon on my satellite dish, that I started watching everything anime. Ranma 1/2 was also another show I got into really early in the game. But now, I don't really go out of my way to for the stuff anymore... just figure that it's pointless, since newer shows will never top the classics like Initial D. I'm not really a fan of Akira, Vampire Hunter D, or Ghost in the Shell, although they have huge followings. I'm all about fleshed out story lines and etc.

**HorseTechie** · 04-21-2003, 01:44 PM

Hrmm... *wonders why she is even here*

I really can't recall what my first-first anime was (or should I say, Manga since I hadn't read many anime comics). Believe it or not, SM or DBz never really appealled. Neither did Pokemon.

The first kid anime show I did like the minute I saw it was Medabots. So chibi and stuff, but the way it was done was awesome. Sucks that it didn't so as well up against Digimon and TF:RiD. However, some TF fans say that the orginal G1 TF cartoon was a form of anime. If it was, then that was my first!

I also heard the RoboTech was good too, but dangit... deprived me hasn't seen it yet!

The first Manga produced movie I saw was Bio Hunter. But I fell asleep on it since hubby put it on soooo late.

Then he rented Ghost in the Shell, and I loved that one. I wish we owned it now.

Sometime later we got Ninja Scroll, Blood, and Akira. I usually like this kind of Japnaese animation overall. So does hubby... unfortunatley it's hard to find reasonably priced Manga movies. We only buy the cheapest deals for now.

*Voltron* · 04-21-2003, 02:01 PM

I can't believe I found someone who is willing to argue that I never saw a damn marathon before.......incredible.

**Karpo_007** · 04-21-2003, 02:33 PM

First anime? The TMNT. No matter how you look at it, the first season was animated by japanese, and thus can be considered anime.
