Your first anime...[that you bought]

My first was Bubblegum 2040 on VHS. The plot through most of the series wasn't half bad, but the ending sucked more cock than a White House intern.

Then I started collecting Nadesico. Big mistake. I gave up by the fourth tape. It's a soap opera behind a Gundam mask.

have u seen Eva yet? lots of ppl have said that nadesico is a rip-off of eva. i've seen this in an amv type thingy using Cruel Angel's Thesis (intro theme of eva) as the music and it used clips from nadesico instead of eva, and so u can make the comparison it even had a little window in the corner showing the eva intro at the same time that the nadesico version played, pretty cool too.

i don't know if it's in the .org database or not, but be my guest in looking if u want

btw: 1st anime i ever watched was probably one called 'Super Campiones' (Super Champions..no duh) it was a sport anime with Soccer as focus in Spanish, i saw it when i was probably like 9 yrs old living in Mexico City (visiting relatives actually) i'm never gonna forget how they used the shadows when ppl were depressed, could be a delusion due to youth, but i wanna find it and see it now that i'm old enough to understand wat's happening (not that it had that a deep of a plot, but it could've i guess)

Vampire Hunter D on VHS. Dubbed; I still don't like that dub, but that's what they were carrying, so that's what I got. It was during early college, so it'd have to be around 1996, 97, thereabouts. (no "I was watching anime six hundred years ago!!" stories from me, thanks.

)

Though hey, Sam Goody was carrying some anime at that point, which IMO is not too shabby. I, the Mainstreamest of the Mainstream, only first heard about anime in about 1994, so I give them credit for that.

What amuses me is that VHD (though I still like it) is pretty much a 180 from my present taste in anime.

...Oh first anime purchase. Probably Eva, all 13 VHS, then the 10 DVDs... and I hate the damn thing.

First DVD purchase... Wicked City I think. I bought it about 3 or 4 months before I even had a DVD player, still, I'm not sure why.

yea that happened to me too, i bought the matrix on dvd almost a year before we had a working DVD player. We thought my moms laptop would be able to plug into our tv so we could watch it there ... but that didn';t work out for some fucked up reason so we just waited forever till we got a dvd player.
