hm, old topic but no matter. -^_^-
my first experience with fansubs happened, i believe, when i was just getting into manga. Tokyo Mew Mew was the first manga series i ever really got into (i can't believe i spent money on that when i could've been buying something way cooler, haha) and when they started airing the crappily-dubbed Mew Mew Power (ha) on TV, i think i was inspired to go find the original show on the internet so that i could actually see the same story that i was reading! anyway, one thing led to another, and i moved from stuff like TMM and Full Moon wo Sagashite (when it was still unlicensed) to older (and better, IMHO) shows like the early Matsumoto stuff (thanks to you wonderful people!) and Ginga Nagareboshi Gin. i love fansubs of older, classic shows... sure beats watching dubbed Naruto on CN. ^_^
