The first anime I saw was Thunderbirds 2086 (Kagaku Kyujotai Techno Voyager), although I didn't know it was anime. (Edit: I wish somebody
would release that on DVD. Hey, if Mysterious Cities of Gold can get a DVD release, anything's possible...)

Wow. That's one of the most unique "vectors" for entering anime fandom I've ever heard of! Where do you live? And man, I agree, I wish they'd release Thunderbirds 2086/Technoboyger to DVD as well. Sad that such a thing has been all but forgotten.

I'm one of those rarities who actually grew up in Canada's Capital Region (as opposed to moving here to take a government or high-tech job). Thunderbirds 2086 was on TV in the mid-1970s here.

(What? Yeah, I'm within a few years of being Bob's age; why do you ask?)
