Today, I only watch Family Guy and the occasional Simpsons episode. As a kid? TFs, Duck Tales, GoBots (occasionally), etc.

Oh yeah, how can I forget Nanoha?

It's like a bizarre combination between Sailor Moon and Super Robot Wars.

I'm really into Black Lagoon at the moment and really hoping Gunslinger Girl is just as good, let's face it, Revy is welcome change of pace from Naruto.

I've been collecting anime now for 23 years , since about 1987(way before you could buy it everywhere!!). Been watching it on and off just about all my life.

Back in the day, it was recording english dubbed stuff off tv, Renting and recording videos from the local japanese video store, buying bootleg tapes from comic book shops, and if you were lucky the bootleg tapes were good copies. in 1988 Streamline was dubbing stuff and in 1989 animego started subbing, and in 1990 Books Nippan's US Rendentions started subbing(in 1991, they started dubbing).

And it was hard to find fan subbed stuff back then, very few people were into it or did not own the equipment to do it with. I was never able to get hold of fan subbed stuff.

At one time I was a member of Books Nippan's anime fan club, and Mail order was one of the only ways to buy legit stuff. Then by 1994 anime was for sale everywhere. I saw anime go from a small shelf to a whole section and, even to whole stores that specialize in anime only!!!

It's amazing how things have changed over the years when I look back and compare then to now.

I could be here all day listing my favorite animes.

here are a few:

Mobile Suit Gundam (everything)
Macross (everything)
Space Pirate Captain Harlock
Lupin III
City Hunter and Angel Heart
Ghost in the shell (tv and movies)
Mobile Police Patlabor
Space Battlship Yamato series and movies
Dragon Ball, including Z & GT
Bubblegum Crisis OVA 1987 & Crash (wish they would have continued this story) still has the best vocal sound track of all time!!!
Akira
Neon Genesis Evangelion
Ranma 1/2
Hakuto no Ken
Souten No Ken
Cowboy Bebop
The Slayers
Gallforce ova's
Tenchi Muyo
Death note
Gungrave
Gunslinger girls
Area 88 (tv and ova)
Robotech (used 3 animes to make the story)
Megazone 23 parts 1-3. I own the part 2 dub(done by Harmony Gold back in the day if I remember correctly) on a vhs recording tape.

Over the years I have seen a lot of good anime, and thanks to the interent with it's vast resources I've been able to buy and see a lot of good anime new and old with english subs.

to me now it kinda seems like the anime industry is slowly dying due to the economy. and the fact that a lot of companies were not listening to the fan base, but just buying every show in Japan that came out and trying to sell them(stuff that most people were not interested in).

They waste their time trying to blame all the fan subbers and downloads on the internet, but the truth it was their own bad marketing in my own personal opinion. Plus too they got ridiculous with prices. Why pay 30 bucks for 1 dvd that has only 3 to 6 episodes on it, when you can buy a whole show for 30 bucks on HK(Hong Kong) dvd. whether it was a copy of the R1 set or a R2 set with "Egrish subs"(subtitles that were translated from Japanese to chinese and then to English, normally with a lot of misspelled words, sometimes characters in stories were given Chinese names).

I did buy the Lupin III series 2 and 3 on HK dvd. 1 reason was that I was disappointed in the way Lupin III series 2 was released and the ridiculous prices of dvd's. The subs on the HK sets are almost perfect too.

I bought MS Gundam on HK dvd because the R1 release was english dub only, and I wanted to hear it in japanese with subs. the subs were decent,except for a few mispelled words and chinese names used. I bought Gundam Z on HK too because It was cheap and 2 I heard they messed the subs up on the R1 dvd's.

some real good memories and fun times over the years.

:p:D

Thought I'd say that I've been watching it on Hulu. I'm on episode 39 currently.
I started watching it after I finished the second Inuyasha series( at least whats currently available).

Hey Catalyst, I checked Hulu but it is only available in the U.S, I tried to sign in using a United States address but that didn't work either.

Oh... Sorry! I tried:(

If I find another place that has it I'll let you know.

@ Sades: I can't go more than a week without showing someone I know Dr. Tran. LOL

HICKORY SMOKED HORSE BUTT HOLES!... From a cup.

Other cartoons I have mostly enjoyed: Batman Beyond, although out of the first three seasons, the first is the best. After that, its a slow slide into mediocrity, unfortunately. I'm plodding through Masters Of The Universe (the 2002 remake) which is great, other than those, just Ghost In The Shell and some other stuff I put in another thread...

I like ren and stimpy that show was one of the greatest shows I have seen the writers where not afraid to take risks.

'Rubber Nipple Salesmen' is one of my favourite episodes

Irish accented Japaness police you have to be kidding me that is something I thought I would never hear. Im I the only one who misses Samurai Jack that was another great show.

A spoiler for Catalyst Dragon...

SPOILER! (select to read)
Hinata doesn't die, which is good because she is one of my favourite characters.
