        Yeah Robotech was the first I remember but were things like The Lost Cities of Gold or whatever anime? I remember ordering the VHS of the first volume of Dangaioh and I was so excited to see anime with subtitles!

        For manga I bought Mai, Xenon, Kamui and all those early Eclipse/Viz titles.

        Yep, I’m old.

          I think mine was full metal alchemist: brother hood
          and this was when I was nine, so I was defiantly traumatized by Nina, but still enjoyed it.

              I actually knew Star Blazers was originally Japanese. So that and Kimba, I suppose. My first fansub would have been Dirty Pair in 1989. :-)

                  @paul-nebeling IMHO you can't call yourself an otaku without a full appreciation of Tezuka :-)

                    @the-green-death I'll sing that refrain with you as I grew up on Robotech, Voltron, and G-force. First actual light novel was Onegai Teacher, 1st manga was probably Oh! My Goddess. For bonus points I met my wife in the Anime club in college and our fan sub distributor was the lady that married Largo, of Megatokyo's Piro and Largo.

                        Manga: I have no idea... I've read so much!
                        LN: In another world with my smartphone (I had no idea that translating LN was a thing until a few months ago!)
