EnviousEnvy Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 This thread is about any anime you grew up watching when you were younger. Which series were popular when you were a kid/teen? Which series do you honestly miss watching on TV? I miss watching Zatchbell and the original Zoids series. Then there is the original Digimon and Pokemon (back when there was only 150). A few other series would be Ghost In The Shell (although I do have all of the SAC series). I'm sure there are others I miss but I can't remember them off the top of my head. As you can probably guess by now I grew up in the early 90's back when you could only trade Pokemon with the person sitting next to you. I used to have 650 Pokemon cards (yeah I actually sat down and counted them, lol) but I gave them all to my nephew last year. Also remember having to get my anime fix by buying VHS after VHS after VHS of Pokemon and DBZ (now I can't believe that VHS tapes only had like four episodes per tape). I still have some of them too in a box somewhere in my house, lol. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was never really that lucky with getting any foil cards, but I was happy with the ones I had For me, I was a huge fan of YuGiOh. I was always excited to watch it on TV and watch re-runs when I came home from school ^^ I still watch it sometimes, but not as much. The nostalgia factor is there tho 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

piiachu Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 I miss watching classic animés!! I used to have list of anime I watch and their time slots because when I was a kid, there was no online streams like we have now. My childhood anime were Fushigi Yuugi, Yu Yu Hakusho, Flame of Recca, Dragonball, HunterXHunter, Digimon, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leinwandname Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 Hmmm, apart from the typical childhood anime like DBZ, Pokémon, OP, etc... I remember Crayon Shin-chan, but it didn't run that often. I loved Phantom Thief Jeanne, DoReMi, Captain Tsubasa, Case Closed and Inuyasha (gosh, I loved Inuyasha and Case Closed). But my most hyped childhood anime were OP and Naruto Classic - when I was in primary school I would often pretend with a friend to be some of the charactes and do stupid stuff during recess, invent possible plot lines, etc...

yuuno Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 In my childhood in Russia was popular Pokemon and Sailor Moon. When I was in middle school, Shaman King and Naruto grew in popularity as a result of a streaming on federal channel (if I remember correctly).

And we were playing caps, it was like gambling - winner was getting loser's chips. Some kids used to have very impressive collections of this stuff (I wasn't one of them, lol).

Bulbasaur to Mew. Actually I have the very first Pokedex and the Pokedex book. In the very beginning there were only 150. Mew didn't show up until the first Pokemon movie which then she was added.

Neptvne Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 My first was either Digimon or Naruto, I mostly have vivid memories of me watching Digimon and I would argue with my friends that it was better then Pokemon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geano Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 Alright I must be honest I am not big on dubbed anime, but there is one big exception, and for me that is DBZ. I grew up with this series it is one of my childhood treasures to this day. Ialso often watched Sailor Moon, and Pokemon a lot as a child. I admit I watched the DIC, and 4kids dubs for these respective series back then. I will give the first season of Pokemon some props, but SM compared to its Japanese release was horrible. Since then I have more, or less grew up to release subbed is the way to go for all of these series along with are better subbed. With that said dbz even dubbed has a place in my heart even today. I can't fully explain it, but I do accept that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ohayotaku Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 I started out with Star Blazers & Galaxy Express 999 and then series like Robotech, Voltron, Tranzor Z. When I moved on to unedited anime, it was series like Ranma 1/2, Slayers, Tenchi Muyo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though Ranma was a great anime to start out with. It was among one of my first as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
