Probably older than anyone at this site. No, not a pervert or troll. Just looking for intelligent conversation about the art form of anime..

Actually, the show that started me wasn't anime at all but an animated series from the mid 1960's called Jonny Quest. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jonny_Quest It was the first action/adventure cartoon featuring reasonably realistic people I had seen and I was captivated. It even aired in the early evening and not on Saturday morning! I also liked some early super hero cartoons so when, as an adult, I discovered true Japanese anime at a Science Fiction convention in the mid '80's I was hooked.

Being a late life baby, I had to deal with elderly parents at an earlier age than most. It was during that time that I rediscovered Anime on TV. It had come a long way. I established contact with other grown up anime fans who gave me their old vhs fan subs. Then Netflix started offering good titles for rent as did another rental service called Anime-Takeout. I have to say, anime was a real blessing while I was taking care of my mother. I now have a fairly fast computer, high speed internet, a 26" monitor that pivots toward the couch, and a wireless mouse that makes watching anime on line a real pleasure.

I've been watching anime for a long, long . . . . long time and revel in the deep, complex stuff. But then I'm a mutant who loves history, quantum theory, spiritual philosophy, art, cats, horses, cars, aircraft . . .

Great Female CharactersSome of my favorite Male Characters
GAR
- Characters that have reached the utmost levels of manliness.
- When a male character is so manly that otherwise straight male viewers find themselves attracted to him, they are said to be "GAR" for the character.
- One's own sense of manliness pales in comparison.
- Character has the power to bring manly tears for the viewer (through either a speech brimming with awsomeness, a manly death, the end of the series, all of these combined etc.).

-My Dad would say, "That guy has muscles in his sh*t."
