Anime month meme - Day 1
Aug. 4th, 2010 22:11I took this from ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
duowolf, because it looked like a fun thing to do.
My very first anime
I'm not 100% sure, but I think I saw Kimagure Orange Road first of all, because I so recognized it when I saw it after I got into anime. We probably rented it or something, my parents rented a lot of children's movies for me. It was released in Sweden under the name Superfamiljen (The Super Family) and had a *cough* not-splendid dub. The main character was for instance renamed Kurre Karlsson...
But my first real anime experience, which was also my first fannish anime, was good old Sailor Moon. They aired it at Swedish television, but with irregular times and it was often replaced by hockey :(
My sister and I watched what we could of Sailor Moon together. I know the first episode I saw of it, too, because it was episode 13, where they killed Jadeite. It almost gave me nightmares and I decided that something where the villains can actually honestly die, feels a whole bit more serious and grown up (so sue me, I was 13-14 somewhere) and I totally needed to watch this. Then I saw a transformation sequence and holy heck, sparklez! I was v. impressed
Sweden didn't get past the first season during that airing - we only ever got so far as season 2, in fact - but when I went on a language trip to Austria, my host mother turned out to be a big Sailor Moon fan. So I got to see the first two seasons there and fall in love with Rubeus German voice *g*
Oh, and I also met dear Miko-chan during that trip... had I not gone to Austria that summer, I most likely would not have been an anime fan; possibly not into fandom at all, though I was already a HUGE sci-fi/fantasy nerd.
