Looks like some weird shyt from what I see. I personally wouldnt allow my kid to watch,even if they wanted to. My nephew is definitely into it though. It was always perverted,but now it looks like its jumped the shark. The characters dont look like bad ass characters you would pick to play with in a video game. It looks like a bunch of prepubescent boys fighting on the playground with weird powers I dont understand. What happened to simply blasting out your inner chi
All the video game movies were good. Maybe its just because they had fighting games to go along with the movies.

This is where I got keyed in.
Saturday mornings on Scifi channel, where they played Akira/Vampire Hunter D/Record of the Lodoss War sporadically.
Then dbz on toonami threw kerosene on the match.
Sailor Moon was something I remember and one of my friends did watch it but the dub chased me away from the snippet of an episode that I did catch early on.
Plus the girly vibe was basura to me as well.
I can suspect that it was the gateway for some, but not my own personally.

I begged my parents for the Vhs collection off the strength of the one or two episodes they repeatedly showed on the sci-fi channel on Saturdays.
Took 4 years of me saving my money to get the whole thing.
Parn n Deedlit were an obsession from like 10 til 13.

The theme is crazy!!Everything was more or less hand drawn. I put my 23 year old son on Cowboy Bebop and was like'this shyt is fire'.

Sinister is a system
Yea i cant lie im old enough to have this on before dbz and it was on channel 11 in the morning. This was before Tivo and dvr so u had to listen to when the shyt was over then i just started watchin
Japanimation and japanime was a term for a long while before animeNah, Ninja Scroll opened the "floodgates"
and yeah, there were "cartoons made in japan" on TV since the 80s, but they weren't pushed or even recognized as "anime" or evem "japanese cartoons".
they was just "cartoons"
Thinking back Power Rangers is probably the reason i rocked with anime so easily.
I think the 1st anime i remember were G Force, Ronin Warriors or Voltron
But DBZ was the 1st show EVERYONE at school was talking about

Dude from high school had a Japanese pen pal who would send him anime on VHS in the late 80s. Dude showed me Guyver: Out of Control, Macross: Do You Remember Love, MADOX-01, and the Saint Seiya movie: Evil Godess Eris. This was in 1989/1990. American cartoons were ruin't for me after that.
I'm going to give credit to companies like VIZ Media. They started dubbing anime and putting them in local video stores. Ranma 1/2, Vampire Hunter D, and Fist of the North Star were easy to find. Ghost of a Shell had a US theatrical release in 1995. Add in Ninja Scroll and I'd say the video rental anime scene made a bigger impact than TV. That was until Toonami.
