There is a live action version of Battleship Yamato aka Starblazers that is showing in Japan. There is rumor that it might come to the US next year. I\u2019d buy a ticket to it in a heartbeat. Starblazers is my early Anime. Also there is a CGI version of Harlock that there has been a teaser trailer to that I so want to see.<\/p>\n
It was TBS I think before it was TBS and I was in high school. TBS starting showing Battle of the Planets\/G-Force (Gatchaman), Star Blazers (Battleship Yamato), later that horrible mash-up of Queen of 1000 years and Captain Harlock (Captain Harlock and the Queen of 1000 years), and Robotech (which is a mish-mash of a couple of series). Those were my first shows. I liked the animation but loved the sweeping story lines which wasn\u2019t really done in American cartoons which tended to be done in one.<\/p>\n
Through conventions, Bill Ritch, and my college anime club I was introduced to Vampire Hunter D, Project Ako, Akira, Moblesuit Gundam, and My Youth in Arcadia among many other series. I found that I preferred the series with the convoluted storylines rather than the robot battles. I loved Vampire Hunter D and all the lovely artwork that came out of it. (Remember kids this is before the age of the Internet so finding things was difficult and expensive.) <\/p>\n
Since then I have drifted in and out of anime. I have enjoyed Bleach, Full Metal Alchemist, Witch Hunter Robin, and any Miyazaki had a hand in. Ariel grew up with Sailor Moon and Pokemon. Caroline enjoys those and Bakugan (which she learned to play in New Zealand), Sugar, and other anime that Ariel enjoys.<\/p>\n
I am still on the look out for a copy of Arcadia of my youth: Endless Orbit SSX but no luck so far. I am also on the look out for things I might not have seen yet that people think are good.<\/p>\n
So what do you like in animeland? Or even good US series (Symbiotic Titan rules!) with an anima twist?<\/p>\n
I am grateful that I found Anime when I did.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
