OMG UROTSUKIDOJI!

I can’t say it influenced me – but I was indeed awed and dumbstruck by it. Goodness me. I saw it when I was in graduate school, when a friend showed it to me and we were watching it with his girlfriend. It was… uncomfortable to say the least.

Haruhi was also a great experience, especially it was one of the anime i picked up by myself. I knew there was a lot of buzz about it, but I never paid attention as I wasn’t reading blogs yet (around February this year, yeah that long ago). I can’t say it was influential because I was already devouring so much anime at that time.

Akira kind of went over my head even though I’ve seen it a couple of times.

And I hate you for having a cooler valkryie toy than I had (even though mine sharpened pencils too).

Off the top of my head, Sailormoon/Voltes V/Daimos was my introduction into anime, Gundam Wing/Evangelion/Rayearth/Rurouni Kenshin (SamuraiX whatttt?), among others, made me a fangirl. Naruto signaled the almost-end of my otaku-ness (it wasn’t Naruto’s fault) but Honey and Clover reeled me back in. ^^

Tsukihime gave rise to my type-moon fanboy side.

Evangelion to my EVA fanboy side.

Haruhi was just plain awesome.

And EVA was also awesome because Anno had the balls to put his death threat letters in End of EVA.

Man, I think it’s depressing that the first Anime crush I had was for Misty from Pokemon. Freakin’ MISTY for crying out loud. I thought she was huggable, but this was before I found out about Sakaki from Azumanga Daioh, which was one of the first shows I watched for both the plot and the women, because usually you didn’t get both in the one show. Dragonball Z is an example of this, but this was before I saw the first Evangelion episode. I think the Read or Die OVA cemented the glasses girl complex I have, but only too late did I realise I’d never meet a girl like Yomiko because… I was actually a less superpowered version of Yomiko in a dude’s body… I think the first time I really started taking notice of Anime was when I watched Kimba the White Lion, in my “Osamu Tezuka is TEH WIN” phase. So basically my Anime watching schedule is the story of my unrequited loves and inspiring hopes and dreams.
