Rarely went out to socialise as most of my time were spent watching animes...
My first anime was 偶像小英雄... I doubt anyone remembers this anime... It was also the first comic book I bought... I was 5 then...
There were several classics like Doraemon which I think everyone knows... So no point talking about it...
One epic childhood anime was 乱马½... I remembered it vividly because it was so funny! Was quite amazed when the Sociology lecturer used it as an example for gender studies... Haha!
There came 美少女战士... 1pm Saturday timeslot... *never forget* I was so drawn by the beautiful mahou bishoujos that I started drawing them everyday... My passion for drawing grew from there...
When the first season of 美少女战士 ended, 七龙珠 replaced it... Still remembered how one freaking fighting competition can last for approximately 30 episodes... The characters can freaking take 10 minutes to execute their most powerful move HA-ME-HA-ME-HAAAAAA~ So crazy! But I liked it anyways! The slow pace in the cartoon seemed to effectively build the climax when it finally peaked... 1.30pm was 十二生肖守护神... I'm sure you guys have a rough idea what it is right? Does these characters ring a bell to you?
七龙珠 ended and was replaced with 宇宙小毛球... It was a cute anime... Loved the 3rd ending song! Used to sing with it all the time... I only recently found this song... Was so happy when some kind hearted soul uploaded this on youtube... There was also Slamdunk! The most awesome basketball anime ever with AWESOME theme songs!
When I was in Primary 4, I had afternoon school... Enjoyed sleeping late... At that time, my favourite anime was Saber Marionette... Dolls with special abilities to fight... Haha! This anime was shown in a very weird timeslot... 12am... yes... midnight... I didn't know why at that time... but later found out there were ecchi contents which resulted the anime to be broadcasted on such weird timeslot...
There were also めぞん一刻 & Orange Road... Animes that were more down to earth and relevant to romance... These two animes are quite sentimental and emotional... Some scenes were rather sad...
烈火之炎 was a major breakthrough for action animes... It was first shown on Channel U in some lousy timeslot like 11.30am or something on the weekdays... I remembered recording it everyday using the ancient VCR, it was freaking troublesome... :s I loved it anyway...
When I grew slightly older, these animes were not sufficient enough to satisfy my cravings... I yearned for more... I resorted to buying more and more animes and this marked the 2nd chapter of my anime life...
The first anime I bought was 花より男子... If you guys don't know what this is... It's meteor garden... I was rather put off by the live action remake of 花より男子 because it did not fully portray the fantasy the anime... Some shows are best left untouched... The second anime was One Piece... Well... I bought it when I was Primary 5... Need I say how epic this anime was? It is still one of the top few animes in Japan... Third anime was Slayers! Still my favourite... I have all the songs and VCDs... Naga's laughter is the BEST! No laughter can get any infectious than this!
Lina's Infamous Dragon Slave!
Then there was Fushigi Yuugi! I spent hundreds buying this! The mix of friendship, betrayal, romance, fantasy and action... Everything combined into one anime! I remembered chionging this anime like some madman! Once you start, you can't stop... It topped the charts for Japan in the late 1990s... Better than Dragonball GT...
Gatekeepers next... Very interesting concept I must say... The song is freaking nice! You can open the gate~ Loved their fighting scenes!
To be continued...
