Geez...when I was a kid, I watched shows like Speed Racer, Star Blazers, Battle of the Planets, and Voltron...I then moved and they didnt have any anime cartoons on TV- after I graduated, I ended up finding out about The Guyver, Fist of the Northstar, and Vampire Hunter D...I then bought Ninja Scroll & the Street Fighter animated movie- after that, I made it a thing to seek out anime.
It was a few yrs before I got back into anime, watching Golgo 13, then catching Adult Swim and watching shows like Inuyasha, Wolf's Rain, Fullmetal Alchemist, Bleach, and more...my fave shows- Code Geass, Bleach, Inuyasha, and currently- Twin Star Exorcists.
