Your introduction into A&M

[blue_fox]

what was the show/manga that drew you in?

I think it was Ronin Warriors which I saw on tv as a kid but I didn't know then it was called anime

[sabrina]

i've never really been drawn in

first series i've ever watched was great teacher onizuka, though

[Soymilk]

fucking naruto :rofl: back when it was still good. then last year i felt like watching some more stuff, so i started downloading at random off of the dc hub and posted a thread asking for suggestions on ot and was directed to a&m.

i got lucky w/ the downloading at random, shakugan no shana was the first thing i watched like that, it was great. it's fucking awesome having a completed series which is really good, and not have any idea what it's about going in.

[Shirayuki]

[blue_fox]

And the yelling. YEAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH

[EliteLamer]

Galaxy Express 999

[Kira Yamato]

Doraemon and Ranma 1/2

[foo82]

Probably Dragonball from a while back.

[animepark13]

pokemon and dbz about the same time. but it wasn't till toonami with tenchi, gundam wing, gundam 08th MS team, that i really got into anime

[foo82]

Probably DBZ

[Familyguy1]

Gundam from the 80's FTW!:bigthumb: and the Wing and the Pokemon and then DBZ:)

[Mark]

pokemon and all those kiddie shits.

then a few years back I started watching some series, then the past year I've been watching a shitload that OTAM reccomended

[blue_fox]

lol, I think I remember watching the original pokemon where it followed the first game. Brock, Misty and those gym trainers were being fought.

embarrassing fact: I used to know the lyrics to the theme song. :o

[Soymilk]

I WANNA BE THE VERY BEST, LIKE NO ONE EVER WAS

DUN DUN DUNDUN

[DvBoard]

DBZ & Pokemon when i was young and didn't know what "anime" was. For the "anime" I knew what it was I first watched Trigun & Cowboy Bebop.

[blue_fox]

I WANNA BE THE VERY BEST, LIKE NO ONE EVER WAS

DUN DUN DUNDUN to catch them is my main quest, to train them is my cause

[Sexbomb]

DBZ ----> Tsunami ----> Naruto ----> Gantz :eek3:

[Soymilk]

well technically i suppose i started w/ pokemon, but back then i didnt even know cartoons were taken from japan and dubbed over.

[TheUltimateNewbie]

If we're talking about actual Japanese audio and fansubs, then Naruto.

[animepark13]

pokemon :bowdown: that theme song was pimpin.

[Soymilk]

i tried playing that song on stepmania against a friend w/ the added rule that you have to sing along as loud as you can. it's kinda hard playing that game when you're yelling like idiots :rofl:

[blue_fox]

^ha, sweet

DBZ ----> Tsunami ----> Naruto ----> Gantz :eek3:

Gantz :eek3: :)

[Mark]

well technically i suppose i started w/ pokemon, but back then i didnt even know cartoons were taken from japan and dubbed over.
.

[Musouka]

Technically the first anime I ever watched was the Pokemon dub. :oopsie:

But the first one that I actually knew as anime was Hellsing. Happened upon a stream that was playing the series and just happened to be on the first episode. When I realized that it was anime, I was like "WTF, this isn't kid's shit."

[deafcon]

Technically it would be Voltron in the early 80's. Then I'd watch an episode of Pokemon or DBZ here and there. Akira and Ninja Scroll were the first subbed anime I watch. I didn't start watching anime regularly until Trigun though, that's the one that really got me into it.

[Bisquick Mehoff]

dragonball z. id rush home from school to watch that shit. i always hated how vegeta was never as strong as goku. vegeta was win.

[Bisquick Mehoff]

oh, thats right, i used to watch... shit what was that one called, battle for earth or something? fuck, i cant remember.

[Bisquick Mehoff]

[blue_fox]

[Soymilk]

In the future, society has a MAJOR population problem. The cause is the Mega-Playboy, men who are totally irresistible to women, due to their genes.

[deafcon]

Someone find a torrent for DNA^2.

[blue_fox]

[Soymilk]

[Shinta]

Hey Soymilk, are you going to download all of DNA^2 from a4e? If so up that shit on the FTP. I would upload it but my upload rate is horrendous.

[animepark13]

ew, their bots are slow, <60kb/s

[Shinta]

[animepark13]

[Soymilk]

[blue_fox]

[Shinta]

Did you enjoy the first episode?

[Bisquick Mehoff]
