| VHS tapes from fansubbers, managed to get my hands on Akira and Record of lodoss war when I was a little kid |
i got inadvertently thrust down the path of OTAKUdom around 7/8 years old or so, - around 1988/1990- when a nephew gave me this 1984 U.S. reboxing of an old MACROSS VF-1 Valkyrie Mecha model kit;   later on, in my early/mid-teens in the mid-1990's, i got my first genuine MACROSS VF-1 model, and that drove me towards discovering MACROSS via FAMILY HOME ENTERTAINMENT's double-episode VHS cassette volumes at my local SUNCOAST VIDEO;    today, i have basically something dead close to the MACROSS collection i could only have dreamed of as a teen, a quarter-century ago;  |

| Living in Japan, anime has always been on my mind, but it wasn't until last spring's "Shadow House" that I became clearly aware of it. Until then, I didn't even know the concept of seasons, and at 52 years old, that's when my appreciation of anime began! |
| My first anime was Saint Seiya. I was just a kid, and that was around 2004-2005. I watched it on the TV channel after I got back from school, dubbed it, and a few months later I bought a DVD that had a few episodes. In my country they sold a collection of five DVDs with the first twenty episodes of the series. It took a long time before I watched anime assiduously and started watching several. Until 2018, I had only seen the most popular ones like Naruto, Pokémon, among others. That habit was only to cultivate more even when a friend from college recommended Death Note to me. |
