Hmm. . . Lets see. Back when Family Home Entertainment released the condensed Robotech VHS volumes (butchered Robotech, which was butchered Macross as I found out later), I noticed how it looked better than what was on TV at the time, and it actually had a storyline. Then when US Renditions released The Guyver anime, my mother picked up vol. 1 because she saw that the US live-action Guyver movie was going to premier on HBO. I much prefered the anime and as US Renditions released the videos, my mother kept buying them (I was in like 4th grade, 1992 or there abouts). Then later when Manga Video was getting on its feet, I bought Street Fighter II: The Animated Movie (which was released by Renegade video, but Manga's logo was in there too), and then Ninja Scroll and Patlabor movie 1 (they wouldn't let me without a parent's consent). Then I started getting Macross Plus (trying to go to Suncoast when the less strict about age people were working). Then it was Ranma 1/2 and Vampire Hunter D and the Tenchi Muyo! movie and more and more. I lived in Hawaii at the time, so it was a lot easier to get stuff there back then. Back then all I got was dubs, but then in high school (in Indiana) I decided to get the Macross Plus movie version even though it was only available subbed. And mom got Black Jack subbed. And after that, everything was subbed. And then we got a DVD player and life's been good (anime sub wise anyway). And then anime got big and jerkoffs like 4Kids came in and decided to butcher a bunch of things and refuse to release uncut subs (It's TOKYO Mew Mew you jerks). But that's going off-topic so I'll stop now. And now I have Naruto, Full Metal Alchemist, and happy fun anime like that and the internet, BT, and GotWoot have become my friends. Hee hee.
