The attached video inspired me to make this post.

  1. What was your first series or movie?

  2. What were your first impressions?

  3. Best series or movie? Why?

  4. Worst experience with anime? Why?

I heard one of my siblings watching something in a language I didn’t understand. It turned out to me Love Hina. It made me fall in love with the language and culture. My interest in the medium itself, I discovered later, perhaps with Pokémon and Dragon Ball. I don’t remember my initial impressions, but it was warm and fun, I do remember. The immense sexualization of females was definitely encouraging to my adolescent cisman self, to the detriment of the female demographic, of course. Rose of Versailles is probably one of my favorite anime. Other than being an amazing story - considering that it was written by a TWENTY year young girl - the way that it conveys emotions visually and through the soundtrack is, to me, unparalleled. I don’t really have any bad experience with anime. I guess I was shocked when

    First would have been either Battle of the Planets or Starblazers. I was a kid at the time and they were just weird new cartoons where the mouths didn’t quite match the words. I think they came on around the same time as Banana Splits or some Sid & Marty Krofft nightmare. I remember eating taco flavored Cheetos while watching them at my grandma’s house after school. I enjoyed the shows but miss the Cheetos.

    Best? Toss up between Frieren and Cowboy Bebop for opposite reasons. Frieren is so quiet and Yoko Kanno and Seatbelts drive Cowboy Bebop so hard. Bebop still has the best intro of anything ever.

    I haven’t seen a lot of anime, so most has been cherry picking the good stuff. And I’m not so wed to the genre to remember the bad ones. More of an “Ew, that sucked” with an almost immediate erasure from my head.
