(man im really scraping the bottom of the > barrel with this one n.n) Whulll, when I wuz a young'un, they used to show Astroboy and Kimba the White Lion, but to be honest, I first really took interest in "the speed demon on wheels" (ie Speed Racer). But even though I knew it didn't come from America, I didn't give too much thought about it being HOW different it was. Later, MUCH later (I totally missed the second wave of anime in America, namely Battle of the Planets, Robotech, Tranzor Z (Mazinger), though I did catch Voltron (when it started showing around here, I was in my 20s). Galaxy High School came out in the late 80s (Chris Columbus created this, but had admitted that he was being influenced by some of the Anime that was still back in Japan) and was fairly fun. I first really got into anime as a fan with Ranma 1/2 (my first exposure being some Nth gen fansubs translated by the old Ranma Project). Now my anime and manga collection is dominating my room, and I feel very good about that, being 41 and all...^_^ but, I am The Relic! As usual, this is The Relic, from the outer fringes of the Reality that is the Ranma ML.... >
