I've watched a lot of old anime, and I also have a HUGE interest in the history of the medium itself, mostly when it comes to the early days of the anime fandom. I've amassed quite an amount of fanzines/flyers from the early 1980s to the 1990s, and I've scanned and uploaded a good amount of them to the Internet Archive for everybody to enjoy. I should probably get to work on the rest, now that I think about it, haha

But yeah needless to say, old anime/anime history is something I love to look at.

My love of anime started back in the late 70s early 80s, though I just got into streaming about 3 years ago. I’ve seen a lot of series over the decades, but there are still “classics” I haven’t, but will offer what knowledge I do have.

Do you mind if I ask you about how you got into anime?

I think the oldest one I've watched was Cutie Honey (1973).

Actually, come to think of it, it's probably Speed Racer (Mach GoGoGo in Japan).

For me, it's definitely Akira.

For me, it kind of depends.

Looks like I've arrived here. I haven't used forums in a while, so I decided to give this one a shot since anime is one of my main interests... Not sure if I'll be very active here, but we'll see what happens.
