Well...I've told you my opinions and bits of my life, I think it's time to tell on how I fell in love with Anime.
It all started back in 1999, when me, my mom and dad and my brother lived in apartment home and I was typing to figure out this weird world, but at the same time in was very shy and usually stay inside most of the time(pretty much the start of my anti-social life) so most of the time I watch some Tv and play video games; and there was one day I've decided to go to my parents room just to see what my dad was watching because it sounded loud; so I went to the room and saw Lights flashing and a guy screaming inside a mecha and the show my dad was watching is called King of Braves GaoGaiGar a 1997 show he tape on a VHS. It's about two protagonists: One is a cyborg named Guy Shishioh (yes, really ) who pilots Gaogaigar, and the other is a boy named Mamoru. Together, they must defend the world against the Zonders all while Mamoru’s connection with them begins to show. This show is crazy; with awesome mecha transformation sequences, weird/scary villains and amazing characters to back it up. It even an Final Ova to conclude the series and let me tell you, it's a dozzy, and a big tearjeaker as well.
And with just like that my Anime journey was a go! With the help of Tv, friends and other people outside or on the internet I was all set, especially in the Earley 2000s I was on a roll, from marathoning the series and watching them all night all the way though morning, reading the latest manga in my local library and on the computer, trying to save enough money so I can get the coolest merchandise, Dvds mangas; I was very dedicated.
From watching TV that showed: kids shows like Pokemon and Digimon on WB Kids, popular shows like Cowboy Bebop and Outlaw Star on Adult Swim and Underground/Experimental shows like Boogiepop wa Warawanai, Gad Guard, Ergo Proxy, Gungrave and Serial Experiments Lain in Anime Unleashed on TechTV/G4 Etc.
To watching my dad's 2000s bootleg/licensed fansubs DVDs and fansubs VHS: Louie The Rune Soldier, Dragon Ball, Shaman King and Rahxephon Etc.
To going to the library and reading the latest Manga: Mushishi, Bleach, keroro gunso Etc.
To watching and discovering new Anime Fansubs on online: Fullmetal Alchemist, Garden of Sinners, Hellsing Ultimate and Gurren Lagann Etc.
By the time it was 2016, ive lost my touch, not with Anime; but with life, as it was a dark time for me; So I stayed focused my jobs, my money and most importantly: mental health. I've still love and watchanime and Read Manga time thorough time, the so called big fandoms are draining my mind and soul, but as of right now: my life is now stable, my mental health is still healing and doing(and trying) my best to live my life who knows I might even pull an all-nighter here and there.
But overall, how do you found and started liking Anime/Manga? 💛
