  1. On TV as a child I saw many cartoons like smurfs and dungeons and dragons but it was hard to find quality content with plots and acceptable frame rates.  My father took me to a comic book convention in the late 80's and someone was playing a bootleg VHS copy of KiKi's delivery service on a small TV.  I had never seen such a quality production with so much care to detail and with the VHS format it was now possible to consume it rather than only catching it by luck on TV or going to the movies.  I started collecting bootleg copies until it became possible to get them on DVD or stream them.  I found almost all of Miyazki's movies and also titles like Akira, Ghost in the shell, Royal Space force and later Satoshi Kon's work like perfect blue and paprika.  All were mind blowingly amazing

    That was pretty much how I found anime.  Historically I think the comic conventions really helped kick off the Anime revolution in the United States
