Loads of anime, a few bits subtitled, mostly raw Japanese, no dubbed. I didn't get much sleep that con...
Quote:Would this be the show you're thinking of? Looks like the dub had a hell of a cast -- how many cartoons can boast both Frankie Avalon and Jonathon Winters? Oh, and read the viewer review on the main page, it's rather -- interesting. (With a title like "Like Mr. Hand said, 'Am I *hallucinating* here?'", you might suspect the writer has strong feelings on the subject.) What's really surprising is that it shares the same source material as Dragonball...
And, later, when I decided I was an anime fan, I remembered Saturday morning cinema, in the 1960s, which us kids got dumped at. Something called "Alakazam" or some such, a strangely colourful cartoon about a monkey and a priest on a trip from China to India. Never saw anything like it again until the Eastercon.
I had my share of childhood anime exposure, myself, as I recounted in another thread here. Speed Racer, Astroboy, Gigantor, 8th Man -- all the usual stuff for someone my age. Of course, I had no idea it was Japanese in origin, nor did I know what anime was at the time. That had to wait until later, when Helen shoved Ranma 1/2 in my face, and I discovered I loved it. (Oddly enough, I had heard about Ranma a few years before -- my best guess at this late date is that it was before the anime had even been made -- and I thought it sounded way too freaky for me to possibly like it. Shows what I know. )
Quote:I certainly hope I will! If I don't, it'll mean I've made a serious wrong turn on my path as a writer.
So, maybe I have been an anime fan rather longer than I thought I had! [grin] Most of us have.
