Shin Kid Anime!
featuring Voltron, along with some hip-hop rapping. I also saw at the
end of one commercial, Summer 97. Does that mean that there's gonna be
a Voltron anime flic?

Don't you mean Summer '98?
Anyways, it's all a plug for a new Voltron show this fall. It involves 13
new shows with 3D graphics included. "Voltron: The Third Dimention" starts
in Fall, but the commercials with Sprite make me skeptical.

All the images there, though, were of either Voltron or the lions. Any
word on whether the original aniem character designs will be followed, or
will it have a completely new look?

More violence (some of which caught me by surprise...just that I associate
to the "watered" down version so much)
A lot of scenes were cut in the Voltron version, but then again, Voltron in
its own, became its own identity.
AACK I hate trying to explain why I like Voltron for what it is and WHY i
like the original japanese anime as they are, even though WEP butchered it
in the dub formats.

Ah, memories of youth... who else remembers watching an anime show as a
kid? I remember when I was six, I saw the 1980s Astro Boy (which I still
like today, even considering how bad the dubbing was - it's been released
on video down here in Australia now). I also remember finding out about
Voltron a couple of years later. I didn't know anything about manga or
anime until I was twelve, when a Japanese friend of mine brought some
Dragon Ball manga to class, and things just went downhill from there :-)
Arnold Kim
Acutally, I watched a _lot_ of anime when I was a kid- Speed Racer,
Voltron, Robotech, Tranzor Z, Battle of the Planets, Great Mazinger,
Daimos, Getta Robo G, Macross:DYRL + Flashback,and more, all before age
12. And the thing is, I always remembered it being Japanese in origin.
Dunno how, maybe my mom told me while watching Speed Racer.^_^
I didn't go totally into fandom, though until Jan. '94 at age 16. A week
before it started with Ranma 1/2 korean videos, the fuse was lit by watching
my friend's copy of Project A-ko.

I started with Robotech, Thundercats, Dinosaucers, and Transformers. I know
those aren't all 100% Anime but they all are to a certain extent. I didn't even
know it was a genre then, I was about 8 and just thought they were cool. When I
was around 10 I learned about the whole Anime scene and have been Otaku ever
since ^_^

Without a doubt. It was Star Blazers, which I'd run home to see every
day after school when I was about 9...I think. It was so long ago. I
remember being so stoked when they were going to bring out a third
season, only to be horrified at the voices that were totally
different. Urgh.

I started out watching Voltron and Thundercats at age.. 4 I believe, but I
didn't realize
that they were anime. The anime that got me hooked was the movie Devil
Hunter Yokho....the first one..which I saw in 5th grade....my mom let me
rent it from the video store...subtitled..I loved it.. she didn't but by
the time it was over I was hooked.
Recently I purchased Devil Hunter Yokho 2, 3, and 4-ever .... I'm still a
Yokho fan :-)

i guess mines started back with Capt Harlock and moving on to Starblazers
and Voltron (robotech wasn't my thing as I got to see the original series of
Macross and Mospeada before they were butchered in Robotech - lucky me ^_^).
But if i were to sum it up, Voltron is my fave of all the "dubbed"
animations brought over to America.
Starblazers comes in a very close second
Thunderbirds 2086 is not far behind either.

I remember watching Speed Racer and Voltron when I was about five or six. (And
playing Voltron on the playground at school... and being such terrors doing it
that it was a banned activity. ^_^). Later, while living in Britain, I watched
some episodes of Robotech (and had seen it before, but don't remember it too
well) on the Super Channel (wonder if it still exists...)
I started watching anime with Akira, but Gunbuster was the one that really turned
me into a fan, back in '92.

the original Voltron (Not GoLion), Mazinga Z. There were others
but I couldn't remember now.

For me, it would have to be either the English dubbed version of "Kimba the
White Lion" or "Astro Boy", both of which I enjoyed a few decades ago. But of
course I didn't know they were anime until after I started getting into anime.
The first anime that I _knew_ was Japanese was a few episodes of Robotech seen
at an sf convention. It hit the Canadian airwaves shortly after that, but
didn't last long -- probably in part because they alternated between the three
series, destroying the continuity. In any case, it still wasn't enough to get
me hooked on anime.
Much later, out of curiosity I watched a few episodes of DIC's Sailor Moon.
The awful voice-acting turned me off, but I had friends who watched it
regularly. So when I saw a fansub tape in a small store at a cheap price, I
picked it up, thinking my friends might be interested. Of course I had to
watch it first. It turned out to be the Sailor Moon R movie, and was much
better than DIC's dubbed episodes.
After that I started buying translated manga and even a few untranslated manga.
I found series that I liked, started renting the anime versions. From there I
went on to try other series, and started buying tapes, LDs, DVDs, resin figure
models, etc.
Damn, that SM fansub tape turned out to be a helluva lot more expensive than I
expected! ;-)

Ouch.
Well the characters, especially the human female characters had a definite Anime
influence. The machinery mas mostly Mecha, and it had tons of Anime style laser
light flashes. It was also made by Tatsunoku productions, which makes many a
Anime.

a couple others (not "Star Blazers", though; never heard of that until
many years later), but I didn't know, nor care, that they were Japanese
in origin; I didn't particularly like any of them.
The first anime I saw that hooked me into the hobby was Saint Seiya.

Nothing samurai-related sword or othrwise, unless you count that "butterfly"
technique to catch a sword barehanded.

I'm not. Just because it was done by a Japanese company, that doesn't
mean that it is anime. In an episode that I remember, the bad guys had
jerseys for a football game. Now one of the good guys went and got
jerseys... The state of New Jersey was on the jersey itself. Now please
explain to mne how a joke like that could be on an anime!

Jokes aren't the deciding factor in Anime. visually it's as Anime as Robotech or
Speed Racer.

The first anime I remember seeing was "Marine Boy". One of the most
popular "cartoons" on British tv of the late 60's/early 70's.
Even today i still find the theme tune running through my head.

Hello? He never said it was an anime. He said it seemed to have difinite
anime influences. You're completely missing his point. What do you
think he meant by words like "Anime style" and "anime influence"?
Just because he thinks soemthing is somewhat in the style of anime doesn't
necessarily mean that he thinks it _is_ anime.
He's saying it's like an anime, that's all

I was a Star Blazers fan, through and through... I remeber coming
"home" ( a friend's house who's mother watched me until parents were
home) straight from school in '81-'82 to catch it.... GREAT stuff
best ever....
I think Voltron was next...Lion's series... But I DO remember the
multi-vehicle show too...does ANYBODY have tapes of that one?
I also remember watching Robotech at 6:00am weekday mornings around
'86-'87... I watched while I ate breakfast and became totally
entranced... Only remember Macross series though....
Too much info? Does ANYONE have any of the seventies/early eighties
stuff? I know Robotech and Star Blazers available, but what about
Voltrons, Captain Harlock, etc.?

The first anime I ever saw was, I believe, Galaxy Express 999, but at
the time I had no idea it was Japanese...I assumed, considering Maitel's
(sp?) hat and my young age, that it was a Russian cartoon. Looking back
now, I realise that I had seen more anime than I thought I
had...including Kimba The White Lion, and a little Astroboy. By the time
Robotech was around, I was not watching "cartoons" regularily and to
this day I've never seen it...Of course, the Macross movies were on
Teletoon (in Canada, just like me) on "Late Night Anime" recently, but I
never managed to stay awake through them. One of these days I'll get
around to watching it again...Of course, nowadays I am making up for
what I missed in spades. I'm a dyed in the wool anime watcher/manga

Good lord! Someone else remembers "Marine Boy!!??"
I remember when Speed Racer was taken off the air for excessive
violence,
and almost immediately Marine Boy appeared. I think it lasted maybe a
month on the local station.
Nothing more in the anime style until... Star Blazers, still a
sentimental
favorite. What does it say about you when you can remember the theme
song from a cartoon decades since you last saw it?
Funny, I couldn't get enough of the stuff, and I'm among the least
violent people I know. Censors need to get a clue. (Sven from
Voltron...
a cool character who just wanders off in the American version, rather
than having a noble death (or so I've read on the net) in the original.)

I can't say about Latin, but my mother, who was worn in Belgium, uses
the word "anime" when speaking French. Sounds pretty much the same as
when spoken in Japanese.
Random note on French: "Ikkoku" sounds exactly like a French word
meaning "cuckold". (I'm uncertain on the spelling of the French.)

Well, English comes from French, and French comes from Latin. There's
some root in there that means "to come to life" and it refers to how
anime (animation) brings pictures to life by moving them around at
certain fps. I'm no etymologist, but I took a year of French, and a
year of Japanese, and anime is a French word.

English was originally dervied from German, with influences of French and
Latin in Middle English, and Latin and Greek in Modern English. French is a
Romance language, like Spanish and Italian. German and English are on a
different language branch, and I can't remember what its called at the
moment. Both branches have basis in Latin.

FEATURED 4 MECHAS AND SOME KIND OF "SPACESHIP" SHOW.
MONDAY HAD "GRANDIZER" (A.K.A GREAT MAZINGA!!!,BEST MECHA EVER!!!) MY

First, a short note: I was aware that the Romans spoke Latin. I've just
always been mildly amused that the langauge of Roman wasn't, say, Roman,
or Romano or some such. :)
And who are we? Good gods, man, we are rec.arts.anime. It's our _job_

that are not us! We are valiant public servants, we are, we are.

And it's also a Japanese word. Just like "Gurassu" (glass), only they
can pronounce in a more familiar fashion.

You saw that too?! I remembered struggling to find that show in

it was so frustraighting not understanding what was being said. It
would have been the one motivating reason for me to learn french if
they kept it on.

back in the early '70's. (Yeah, I know, I'm pretty old aren't I?) Of
course, back then, I thought they were simply cool 'toons, and it wasn't
until much later that I heard of the terms "Japanimation" or "anime".
If you want to know the first shows that I realized were from Japan, it
would have to be Star Blazers/Space Cruiser Yamato and Battle of the
Planets/Gatchman in the late '70's.

though. I read about Unico on the web last year and thought "Unico is
ANIME?!" It hadn't thought of Unico for a long time, so when I stumbled
across it it really surprised me! Does anyone know where to get a Unico
t-shirt? I saw one once. I used to watch Noozles on Nick (Does anyone
know of the URL of the guy who posted a while ago about his old Nick
toons site? I lost the address . . .) Totoro was the first anime I saw
that I knew was anime.

So, can you still find Unico out there to rent or buy? I'm converting

the 8th Man" when I was in the first or second grade back in the late
'60s (yes, I AM 36), though I too didn't know it was anime-- it was just
"cool 'toons" for me too. I pretty much stopped watching cartoons after
the sixth or seventh grade because so much American animation (the
Saturday morning variety, anyway) is aimed at little kids. It wasn't
until I went to Balticon (a science-fiction convention here in
Baltimore) in '94 that I saw anime presented as anime, and I thought it
was neat. (I think it was some episodes from Ranma 1/2.) Then I went to
Balticon again in '95, saw "Oh My Goddess", and was hooked on the spot.
Three-and-a-half years later (and about as many kilobucks-- ouch) I
have WAY too many tapes (is such a thing possible?) and WAY too many
soundtrack CDs, but it's been one hell of a ride so far.
Now, if only Tsunami (from Tenchi Muyo) were real! :)

I have Betamax tapes of the first two films dubbed into English "Fantastic
Adventures of..." and "...Magic Island". My wife supposedly works with
someone who has an unsubbed copy of the THIRD Unico film, apparently made
after Dr. Tezuka's death. I've been trying to get together with this person
but no luck yet. If interested in the first 2 features though, let me know.

Hmm... It is interesting that almost all the shows that stick out in my
memmory are anime. I was born in 80 and the first movies I remeber seeing
were the unicos and Nausica: Valley of the Wind. Several cartoons stand
out as well. These include Robotech, Volron, and Mysterious Cities of
Gold. I didn't realize any of these were from Japan (In fact I had
assumed Cities of Gold was a Hispanic cartoon until I joined this
newsgroup tonight.), but I think it was early evidence that I was destined
to be an anime fan.

The Third tape was made in 89 and to the best of my knowledge has never
been translated into English commmercially. A fansubber out there
somewhere probably has done it, but I don't know who it would be.

The Adventures of the Little Koala was another anime that used to be on
there (on the Nick Jr. time slot). A lot of the children's stories on that
one series (forgot that name too...had stuff like Sleeping Beauty,
Rapunzel, etc) looked like anime, too.
I think the first one I ever saw was a cartoon called Dangaurd Ace. I was
like 5 or something and that was my favorite show. I still have tapes of it
(I treasure all of my old cartoons) I just recently found out about another
anime seems to be just like it.
Dammit, I forget that name, too.

Oh yeah! I used to watch that ALL the time!
Meigo
know they were anime at the time. They were just cool 'toons.
First anime I ever saw being aware it was from Japan: Dragon Ball Z. Not
one of my fav's right now (I refuse to watch the Satan, I mean Saban dub),
but there's no denying a first love. ^_^

Hmm. Hard to say. It was either "Star Blazers" or "Speed Racer" reruns. But
I was young then. The first I watched every single day was "Battle of the
Planets."

Astroboy was my first exposure, although I didn't know what the term
'anime' meant until
a)I saw it mentioned in an ADQ story(Forget the title)
b)I went to university and joined the anime club!
Michael Breslau
at the Chicon IV Science Fiction Convention in
Chicago. ( 1984?? )
I couldn't take my eyes off the screen - I was completely
captivated. It wasn't subbed OR dubbed - we had a live
voiceover expalning what was going on in general, not
trying to translate the dialog in detail.

First anime, period: Speed Racer reruns at age 3
First "not necessarily for kids" anime: Either Akira, Macross: DYRL, FotNS,
or Zillions, sometime in the late '80s
First anime seen with ful knowlege of the term "anime": Project A-ko, Jan.
'94
Arnold Kim
loved Battle of the Planets and Voltron
Vhoodoo
saw 'em around age, say...3 or 4, I think. And they were quickly
followed up by my watching Voltron on TV. At the time, I had no idea
it was Japanese though. I didn't really find out what 'anime' meant
until 6th or 7th grade, when I became interested in Ranma 1/2 through
the SNES game, and a Korean friend of mine told me about the series. I
rented the first couple of eps and Desperately Seeking Shampoo from
Blockbuster, and I was hooked.

My first Anime I saw was in the sometime around 1982-1985, the shows I
remember seeing are,
1. Starblazers
2. Robotech
3. Captain Harlock
4. Voltron
5. G-force <Battle of the Planets-Not sure which version>
6. Saber Rider and the star Sheriffs
I don't know in what order I saw these shows, But I do remember having
seen them. It was probally Starblazers and Captain Harlock.
But it was not until I saw Robotech at a friends house I started to
become more aware of anime, Now fade about 7-8 years, The year of 1992
maybe 1993, That is when I started to get the Sci-fi channel and again
was watching robotech and recording them.
Up to that point I had been a casual watcher, when ever at my friends
house we would watch a episode here and there, And some other titles I
recieved on my own television, I don't remember watching Robotech but at
his house, he told me that channel 44 KBHK San Francisco was showing it
but never saw it, I think by the time I saw it on his tapes, It was
already off the air.
But since then I have been collecting anime videos and CDs, like it was
the end of the world.
Sean Abbey,
P.S. I just wish they had finished the Robotech II: the sentinels
series, I have the video they edited the only episodes into, But I would
like to see more.
Raijin Z
you want to get specific, then it was most likely Voltron. Doji was STILL my
first OAV-type, though! ^-^
Needoba
The first anime I saw when I knew it was anime since my friend was
introducing me to anime was Ninja Scroll. To say the least it got me
hooked.

I wished they had, too, until I read the plot treatments in the Robotech
Art 3 book. Seems ol' Carl was a decent story *adaptor*, but he was way
out of his league trying to write a 65-episode series from scratch. The
Sentinels was doomed, period. It's almost better this way, with the
story only finished in the McKinney novels, since McKinney was a better
writer (I realize that's damning with faint praise...) and cleaned up
some of Carl's groaners.
