What got you started into Anime?
suzaku_nomiko:
for me it was the great Miyazaki's Kaze no Tani no Naushika or Nausicaä of the Valley of Wind and Tonari no Totoro.

Just out of curiousity, are you beginning to learn some tools of the trade now or are you still just "supervising" them?

I don't mean this group, the very first digisub group I was technically 'in' and by that I only mean that I was a member of the private channel. One day the 'riskey and safety' incedent happened, and that combined with other things made me leave the channel. They wanted nothing to do with shoujo, so it was pointless for me, other than that seeing a first digisub group from the inside made me aware of the conflict between groups of the time (the 'dirty war') and the problems with how a group was run (a top-down leadership style where the leader made all decisions for the group). The 'riskey and safety' incedent was where a member had subbed and wanted to release an episode of a shoujo show by that name but the group leadership refused and the release was delayed indefinately and hence only ever avaliable to a selected few online. A while later it was released by a VHS sub group 'Sachi's Distribution' and a few years later it was licensed in the US.

I had always liked comics and cartoons, prefering the European stories in Heavy Metal as opposed to the produce of Marvel and DC. I was at universtity at the time (well Wolverhampton Polytechnic as it was) when a friend got hold of me and told me of this Japanese cartoon that was like a movie and on a theatrical release in Europe. We had a state of the art arts cinema (Wolves Poly not me and my friend) which I was a regular at (also liking contientnal and art house cinema). I saw the anime and fell for the genre.
The title of this new release ..... Akira (I know this now ages me ::) )

Is interesting you mentioning an interest in the visual arts, specially cinema. I've always been drawn to anything visual, but my real conversion to anime (like in I squandered everything I made in DVD's and the like!) was definitely by watching Ghost in the Machine. Talk about aesthetic pleasure!
