What got you started into Anime?

<< < (5/7) > >>

Blue Mage:
I have to admit to having watched Voltron and Speedracer as a kid without the slightest idea that they were from Japan. What really did it for my though were the reruns of Robotech when I was about 4. My parents also claim I watched Astroboy, but I have absolutely no memory of that.

I do remember thoroughly enjoying Sailor Moon on YTV (So sue me, a ten-year old doesn't care about dubbing quality) and not being able to rent Bubblegum Crisis because it had nudity in it. I also saw an old movie called Odin: Photon Space Sailor Starlight. It was... odd.

The other show that I saw just a few episodes of and really want to see again was the Thunderbirds anime. It was a great show. And it had trailers for the Lensman anime that I will never ever get to see.  :'(

Okay. I guess someone pouncing on me for something about that retirement while I was trying to post something relevant to the topic here got me to post that instead.

What I originally meant to post was this:

Something I forgot to say, what got me into anime other than Kids Station was a new TV with cable TV hyperband. That is, you don't need to subscribe to a cable provider to get access to cable channels. Cable TV isn't that popular in Japan. People are just happy with the normal channels they have and a lot of them have BS Digital Satellite, that is where they broadcast anime in HD. So when I got that TV and found a Cable TV channel called Kids Station, I began watching some reruns of old animes. Eventually I got hooked to Conan on NTV and CCS on NHK and that got be started into the latest anime being shown in the normal TV channels.  :D

For me, I never watched anime on TV as a child.  I first heard of it when I joined a Harry Potter message board about 5 years ago.  A few of my friends on there kept talking about this Rurouni Kenshin show, so I finally decided to ask about it.  One of the girls was also watching InuYasha at the time, and she informed me that InuYasha was airing on Adult Swim in the US.  So, I tuned in to Adult Swim and got hooked on IY.  (I also downloaded the Kenshin OVAs, which I absolutely loved.  But IY was technically my first anime.)
