Hello and welcome!
Please make yourself at home and talk about your favorite old anime and manga. If you know what rec.arts.anime was, you’ll feel right at home.
If you’re up for it, reply here with a brief introduction including early anime memories and where you are today.
Hey, I’m Rem, remino on SDF, 41M, living in Japan but from abroad.
I watched some anime on TV when I was a kid, mostly stuff dubbed in French, but years later, I got deeper into some of them. However, I couldn’t afford them, except one VHS copy of Ghost in the Shell, and one episode of AikA which was not what I was expecting back then. I also liked Sailor Moon, but never got into Dragon Ball. I was mostly hanging out in the chat room of AnimEigo, and a kind soul mailed me pirated copies of Evangelion, whom I’ve never thanked properly.
If you’re wondering where I’m from, I’m sure the above will give you enough clues to guess it. ;)
Hi there, fstateaudio on SDF and the Mastodon. I’m in the US.
The first anime I remember was Robotech (still a favorite) in my childhood, also Voltron and a couple others that made it over here back in the 80’s. Later in the 90’s some stuff on the SciFi channel and what I could get here & there on video. Bubblegum Crisis, Akira, Ghost in the Shell, Green Legend Ran, and Vampire Hunter D were/are some of my favorites from that time.
My favorite stuff tends to be mecha and cyberpunk. One of the most recent things I’ve seen and liked (which falls outside those genres) is Dororo, recommended by my stepdaughter. :)
My name is Wesker. I’m a US citizen, who has begun spending a small chunk of the year in Japan.
I got my first intro to anime in the late 90s, via Akira and Ghost in the Shell. I wouldn’t say I watch alot of anime, I’m very particular. I typically gravitate to distant future sci-fi and cyberpunk themes. Not limited to, however.
Is this community manga friendly as well? I’ve lately been fascinated by Tsutomu Nihei (BLAME, BIOMEGA, etc) and would love to post favorite panels and such.
I’m 26, which makes me extremely old and not at all out of place here. Seriously, I could die any minute now! Not for any particular reason – just too old, you see…
I’ve got an anilist on the off-chance that anyone wants to check my weeblord credentials. I think I’ll flaunt the established <2000s paradigm and say that my favorite vintage anime is Steins;Gate. A bona fide classic, IMO.
Hello sdf user notptr. My older anime view is little weird. I didn’t really get into anime until I was much older but some of the older animes I like are Akira, Ghost in the Shell, and Cowboy Bebop
