Just a fun little exercise, what is the anime that was first aired closest to the day you were born, and what do you think of it? Or if you haven't seen it, what do you think you'd think of it?

In my case, the one that's actually closest I couldn't find anywhere to watch it, so I settled for second closest; a fun little sci-fi OVA called Sol Bianca: The Legacy about an all female group of space pirates and their impossible spaceship.


So what's your birthday anime?

My birthday anime is this One Piece film.

^Aired the day before I was born. Can't find one that's exactly on my birthday, though.

Some fucking yaoi thing apparently, which is just absolutely super >_>

I checked it once and this is what I found: Gakkou no Kowai Uwasa. It started airing 4 days after my birthday and it's the closest one. Too bad it doesn't seem to be available anywhere, or at least it wasn't the last time I checked, but it looks pretty funny and I'll watch it if it ever find it somewhere.

Taiho Shichau zo Special, aired 5 days after I was born.

I haven't heard of it before, but I think a police comedy anime is kinda cool, so I think I may watch it in the future.

Closet thing to my birthday is Musashi no Ken that I could find. There is a 10 day gap....Aired on April 18th 1985 and my birthday is April 28th. I saw a few episodes of it here and there when I was younger but never enough to really add it to my list. Might watch it entirely some day though.

Uh that's interesting.

Daa! Daa! Daa! started airing exactly on my birthday. Since it's 78 episodes long, I don't know if I'll ever watch it, but it seems like it's actually a decent comedy/sci-fi anime, so I might take a look at it in the future...

The closest was six days before I was born but according to MAL there were actually five movies in total that aired on that day.

One Piece Movie 1
Digimon Adventure: Bokura no War Game
Doraemon Movie 21: Nobita no Taiyou Ou Densetsu
Doraemon: Obaachan no Omoide
The☆Doraemons: Dokidoki Kikansha Daibakusou

AniDB lists the release dates of those three Doraemon movies on the 11th though, which would be one day after I was born. Not sure which release date is correct.

You can watch the entire series on YouTube if you search for the Japanese title and don't mind watching it raw.

Virtua Fighter, apparently, which first aired on my exact date of birth.

It's not great, but Virtua Fighter is probably my favorite fighting game series, so that's cool.

So what's your birthday anime?


Is there a way to sort by date? I mean I know you can have it broken into each *season, but by an actual date?

If anyone sees on that's July 24, 1991 - let me know!

You're right, I'm so bad at searching lol, I don't think I checked YT. It seems to be easy enough to understand, so I don't mind trying to watch it raw. Thanks for letting me know.

Closest anime that aired near my birthday would be Hello Lady Lynn (1988). Like two weeks before when I was born. Appearently it's the second season of Lady Lynn. A Drama anime, huh? Oh boy. But I already have enough drama in my very own life... :-P

I've only seen 3 things from 1982 and the closest one is 2 month early, SDF Macross. It's a great show though.

Heh, atleast your entry sounds waay more appealing to me then indeed the one I posted. I really should invest some time in discovering some more "ancient anime" of my own prehistoric times. :-P

Lol yeah your's looks pretty bad. I just finished this one and I guess it was ok, but I mean a 4 episode (2 episodes watched 4 parts on youttube lol) ova doesn't really allow any build up. One day I'll watch older stuff as well.

I don't know if there's a way to sort by date, but the way I did it was look for my year on the season charts, then narrow down to what season your birth month would be, so in your case it would be Summer 1991.
Looking at it now, you've got 4, and they all aired the day after you were born. They're all OVA's as well
