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

    1. That’s quite confusing because the very first anime i watched was Naruto, but i was 7 and didn’t understand anything on the story, it was available on TV but it didn’t followed any chronological order. The first anime i actually watched, understood and liked was Dragon Ball, then Dragon Ball GT and then DBZ, in this order. My dad gave me the pirate DVDs he bought on a open Market bcs he also used to like DBZ.

    2. Some stuff were quite bizarre, like Goku having a tail, but other than this, i wasn’t a very picky kid.

    3. I think One Piece, but Samurai Champloo also has a special place in my heart. I just couldn’t drop it after the Arlong arch, the worldbuilding is absurd (and worldbuilding is something i value a lot)

    4. Nanatsu no taizai, because at every 5 seconds the main character is touching someone inappropriately, i seriously couldn’t watch much, all characters are despicable. Also watched some Black Clover and hated it, i think it’s peak clichè

      How cool of your dad to share those DVD with you! :D Wow, it must have been confusing to watch GT before Z. No? I haven’t heard Champloo being mentioned for such a long time. Thank you for reminding me to watch it again! :)
