Remember that one anime you saw when you were a kid?

Is it bad that I started watching Dr. Slump, Thundercats, Silverhawks and that old anime-ish stuff from the 80s first?

No. I watched old sh't before most of the newer stuff. Truth be told, while the newer anime these days has nice effects, better plots, and better songs... they're just repetitive. Most of the anime I've watched seems extremely similar, meh. So I go back and watch older stuff from time to time. So ^5@you

This cat and his shenanigans.

Read the manga a lot (Doraemon), I never watched the anime. Oh, finally managed to find a download of this, well, the first episode anyways.. Ai to Yuuki no Pig Girl Tonde Buurin! My childhood is tingling.

This thread is lacking in the legendary Voltes V:

Others that are worthy of mention are Cardcaptor Sakura and Pokemon.

I was familiar with Doraemon, Dragonball, and Sailor Moon. Doraemon, I never really got much exposure too, but I was familiar with it, nonetheless; because I saw tons of Doraemon merchandise. Dragonball seemed "weird" to me with the character designs and some of the anthropomorphic characters running around, so it never really stood out to me until years later. Thinking something was weird really made me miss out on a lot in my childhood, come to think of it; and because of it, I missed out on great experiences like the Zelda franchise. And as for Sailor Moon, I felt it was a girl thing, and avoided it like the plague; because to me, it was like a guy being associated to Barbies.

READ OR DIE ALL DAY BABY!! woot

Hmm Cardcaptor Sakura, Sailor Moon, Pokemon andd Dragonball Z, Oh yeh Zoids and Yu-Gi-Oh.. Thats all I can recall :f6:

TECHI MUYO AND YU YU HAKUSHO ALL DAY BABY!! woot

Dragon League, Gordian Warrior, Tekkaman Blade, Dai Apolon, Saint Seiya ... I bet most people haven't heard of 4/5 of those.

...I've heard of two of them. But that's because Tekkaman Blade is in Tatsunoko VS Capcom...

Hi. I just registered on this forum because I wanted to thank Omni for finding out that the anime's name was Eto Ranger! I used to love the show as a kid but I watched it in Korean so I had no idea what the title would be and always looked up "anime chinese zodiac" with no good results until today. I guess the right google search was 'anime chinese zodiac rat fairy tale'! Thanks again~

Oh, no problem! haha! I didn't realize someone would register just to thank a user, I'm surprised. You welcome, and thank you to you too!

Edit ; I hope you manage to find downloads for it too, there's like around 50 episodes or something, and it's hard to find the entire thing on the internet. You can try clicking here, and as you can see, not every episode is on the list. I hope you'll be able to find all of the episodes!

My first anime was when I was 8 and i watched the Nudity in the Fist of the North Star I was like, Bewbs are awesome!

Tenchi Muyo, Yu Yu Hakusho, Dragonball Z, and some Ruroni Kenshin

I'd usually wait till the bus to the u-center left, then go home on the bus to my neighborhood to watch it. Being in gradeschool was awesome .

Mashin Eiyuuden Wataru. Took me a while to find the name of this super robot anime, and it's sort of embarassing to look at the clips now. The kid summons the robot, roller skates up to it and gets teleported inside where he defeats evil by making wild slashing motions with his sword while standing on a disembodied dragon's head. I considered this to be awesome once.

Too many other half-forgotten ones; the only other names I know for sure are Doraemon and Ranma.

Pokemon, Digimon, DBZ, Saint Seiya... classic childhood isn't it?

Thanks for making me spend over an hour looking up imported Hong Kong anime I watched before I turned 10. Holy crap I can't believe I remembered these:

Can't ever forget these 2:

I only saw Doraemon as 3 movies, one is where Doraemon retells Journey to the West, Peach Boy, and an epic one where Doraemon and Nobita assembled a mecha that in Catonese sounded like Santa Claus (Zendacross/Zenda Claus, lol close enough) and the whole gang had to stop a robot invasion.

Epic movie was epic.







I can't believe I liked watching this as a kid. I feel effeminate.

Now name me this anime that I can't find on the list of TVB (Jong Kong TV) imported anime:
1. There is a main hero who has this mecha. I can't remember how he got it. The hero is not an adult. I think young teenager age.
2. He can control the mecha either by blowing into this ocarina/flute, but later controls it by getting in and piloting it
3. It's human-like in the sense it needs energy to function, which is somehow fixed by eating rocks. It also displays a limited amount of sentience because it has a rather human-like face, enough for it to display a small range of emotions.
4. The main bad guys are this brother and sister duo, where the brother has a powerful mecha too, usually more powerful that the hero's. The main villian of the show I can't exactly remember.
5. The hero's mecha received an upgrade when it was somehow wrapped in a cocoon for some reason in which I think several days passed before it emerged as a more awesome version of itself, both in power and in looks. It was a greyish/white mecha who obtained more chromatic colors.
6. Something something something the hero does receive some allies who were initially his rivals of some sort. I distinctly remember one has a blue mecha
7. In one very early episode the mecha was destroying a large forest/field with lasers from it's shoulders because the wind was blowing into the hero's flute/ocarina (which was by his side). This was before he learned he can control/command the mecha by blowing into the flute-like instrument.

Man, this thread is giving me nostalgia.
