| Hello I'm SantaBla and I have had a fascination with anime since early childhood. I'm also 23 years old. I grew up in Mauritius where I ended up receiving French tv channels, and on one of those, I used to watch Club Dorothee as a little kid. My first anime was Captain Tsubasa. I also remember that my bro owned a NES, and we had Japanese import anime based games like Dragon Ball Z III Ressen Jinzou Ningen and Captain Tsubasa 2 - Super Striker. Watching him play these games thrilled me to no end. I've always wanted to watch anime, but anime in vhs were rare, and catching it on tv was pretty hard since Club Dorothee has since stopped airing and anime was getting less and less frequent. Thankfully, with the advent of the internet, I caught up Naruto in 2003 and like everyone else became an addict. It was a time when Naruto was still going at a decent pace. I was also watching some other anime, like Full Metal Panic, Those who hunt Elves and Tokyo Underground. However, the fillers got out of hand and I dropped Naruto for good. Fast forward 2006, wanting to rediscover classics like Saint Seiya, Dragonball Z, and Captain Tsubasa, I ended up in rediscovering my childhood classic, Captain Tsubasa and found that the manga was still ongoing. 2 years later, I found myself wondering if giant robot classics like Grendizer had any sequel whatsoever and found out the author made a bunch of other giant robot shows in the last decade (2000s). These opened my doors to mecha anime (New Getter Robo), something I thought I would never love, being a football anime fanatic (Aoki Densetsu Shoot!, Whistle, Hungry Heart). Truth to be told, I was never a big fan of the angsty protagonist like those found in Gundam, which is why I never really bothered about it, till I watched G Gundam. It was a real hot blooded show with an awesome cast and ass kicking mechs. Of course, I suddenly needed more of Gundam, but to my disappointment I realized that G Gundam was actually the odd one in the franchise. Nevertheless, I watched the other Gundam shows and started appreciating them what they are. So there you go, in brief it went like this since 1992ish. Classic anime > Naruto > Football anime > Super Robot anime > Real Robot Anime > Classic anime Right now, I'm trying to discover and read more Osamu Tezuka works, so back to the classics. I don't know which other genre I'll get into, but probably the historical type since I love Yokoyama's Sangokushi, Souten Kouro and I also plan on resuming Hyouge Mono. I guess I don't really care which anime is popular now but more about which genre they fall into, old or new. When I get into a genre, I really want to discover it to the fullest (which will usually take a few years). I just don't want to skim over it. Examples would be watching Gurren Lagann, Evangelion, Code Geass and stopping there, or watching Captain Tsubasa and stopping there, OR watching only Naruto and stopping there (I thought it really was the best during its early episodes, till I watched Flame of Recca, and ended up liking it a lot) The reason for that iis that I like to see the genre developing from its early roots (not just by reading wikipedia, which often leads to misconceptions), and I found that both shonen type and mecha anime have a great deal of history to them, and it's fun to see how previous authors influence the new one and so on, like a never ending cycle. To be fair, Japanese anime isn't the only thing I'm looking at, since I've watched a few retro Chinese anime. Did you know that Osamu Tezuka was actually influenced by a Chinese anime called Princess Iron Fan directed by the Wan Brothers? Now we all see the plagiarism that's going on in the Chinese anime industry, and sometimes I wonder why they can't go back to their roots instead of trying to copy pasta Japanese style designs. I also have a small interest in Korean anime, since I've watched Taekwon V, which is obviously inspired by Mazinger Z. Funnily enough, YouTube has a few clips of some North Korean anime. I thought it looked quite good to be honest, especially for a mad man's country. And lastly, since I grew up on Disney Comics (Carl Barks, Don Rosa, Romano Scarpa etc) and watched Disney theatrical films (Lion King, Tarzan, Mulan etc...) when I was young, I really want to marathon all of what Disney has to offer from its inception (Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs) to today's (Princess and the Frog). Oh shit, I've written quit a bit. You can skip it if you want. |

| That's an interesting introduction you wrote here Mechablitz. I ended up reading it all. You mentioned some shows I haven't heard about before, like Flame of Recca and Tokyo Underground. I have them on my plan to watch list now. I'm not really a fan of mecha or classic anime in particular, but I do not avoid them. I do enjoy some mecha anime but I haven't seen much. As for classic anime, i kinda find it hard to find since I don't want to watch it on stream. Well, catch ya soon in the Synchtube room. |
| Nice introduction man, it was a good read. Didn't expect you to pop in and type such a specific text. |

| Hello guys ^_______^ Just joined here, I like the idea and I used to do it with some friends a while ago. My name is George and I'm from Romania. I've been watching anime since I was 15 (I'm 24 now) and I've been very active in the anime community from my country, being admin at the largest romanian anime forum. The disadvantage of that was not being able to make many friends abroad,focusing only at the community in my country. Hope I'll fix it soon though. xD |
| The world’s not perfect, but it’s there for us trying the best it can. That’s what makes it so damn beautiful. |
| Too bad our club isn't too active. But if you stay around and invite your friends, we might organize screenings again! |
