Are There Any Anime Fans Here?

I think Vampire Hunter D was the first anime I ever saw. It was aired during those first few weeks of the then brand-new Sci Fi Channel.

It has different thoughts and intents behind it, then most of what we call cartoons in america. SO much difference.

Never seen anything from the west that even touches near Witch Hunter Robin.

Saturday Anime

They played the hell out of Vampire Hunter D, Robot Carnival, Lensman, and Iria : Zeiram the Animation.

I took the OP to mean anime series. I haven't watched many ghibli films, but I suspect they are their own subgenre. In any event, I have a love/meh relationship with anime. Some of it is great. Vampire Hunter D, Blood+, and several others I watched when I was younger. Others just seem meh. As I have gotten older, there are less and less storylines that pair well with married, middle aged, white, male american life. lol.

Spoken like someone that hasn't seen Spy x Family.

Grave of the Fireflies was phenomenal, but I will never watch it a second time.

I just watched that about a year ago, and in my late 50s, I was not emotionally ready for that film.

Never watched the original Ranma. Just came across this guy. I'm afraid that's gonna be me in a few years.-
