      @terrence Honestly I don't know yet. After reading your post, I looked it up and did see that they are going to release it both in print and digital so it would be easier on the wallet with the other light novels I'm getting but I got a huge back log of books that I need to finish still lol XD

              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.

                              Anime: Guyver and Dominion Tank Police (can't remember which came first)
                              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!)
