    I'm pretty sure the first anime I saw was the first Galaxy Express 999 movie when they ran it on the Sci-Fi Channel back in the mid-90s. It was definitely before the launch of Toonami on Cartoon Network, I know that.

    I remember RTL II rebroadcasting Dragon Ball like five times in a row before they managed to air any of Z.

    My first anime, still the best 1991

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WZNt9p4LWeA

    The story behind that is just amazing - they basically got the raw footage...and nothing else. So they had to build the localization from scratch.

    I love how the bad guy who is fairly obviously a fox they just decided was a rat instead so they could call him the Big Cheese

    That's also how I saw that movie. My family was on an extended vacation and were currently staying with some friends in Ann Arbor. I had the basement, and was flipping through stations when I saw that were doing an anime segment. One night they showed Galaxy Express and the next night they showed the sequel and I remember us going out to eat with those friends and the whole time at the restaurant I was antsy because my parents always chat forever and but I didn't want to tell them I wanted us to leave so I could go watch cartoons.

    It was from that time when sabban used to just buy random anime and show the episodes completely out of order.

    Teknoman/Tekkaman Blade is the very first anime I ever watched!

    It was airing on a before-school kids programme here in Australia when I was in primary school, and I watched the entire series start to finish with my brother before school every day

    My first anime was maybe some kind of Casshern OVA on late night TV. There was a boob, that's why I remember it.

    When Toonami started up I watched the anime on there very closely. Maybe the editors missed something, you know?

    I saw Mononoke during college, yeesh.

    My first exposure to films were Vampire Hunter D and Tenchi Muyo In Love! on the Sci-Fi channel(back before Tenchi getting edited was a thing). It was insane to have a movie premiere on a network like that, it was unreal.

    Currently looking for AMVs that basically abridge the entire show while playing the opening theme.

    I remember an absolutely amazing one for Gurren Lagann that as far as I can tell isn't on YouTube anymore. This is the best one I can find.

    Latest manga chapter of Kanojo mo Kanojo:
    Shino seems to have been afflicted with a curse where nobody can perceive her or remember she exists.

    Seriously though, so many people were sure this arc was going to be when Shino officially joins in on the poly relationship, so I assume the author is just trolling at this point.

    Chapter after that one (131):
    well, I guess Shino got noticed this time around

    My first anime memory was some combiner robot show I’ll never remember where, depending on which of the main character bots became the robot core, it turned into a different form for air/ground/sea combat.

    I checked out the second Sword Art Online Progressive movie in theaters today. Like the first one, I enjoyed it. I've always thought the Progressive series is the best thing the author has managed out of all of his projects so far, and the adaptations benefit from that. While the first movie focused on inventing an original character for Asuna to have some drama with, this one refocused on the novel characters, best of all Argo, the information broker/ninja. She did not have the voice I would have predicted, but it wasn't bad either. No news on if they're going to continue doing these movie adaptations (there were all of 6 people at my showing, not exactly the level of Dragon Ball Super: Superhero, which had about 35-40 people in there), but I hope they do.

    More spoilery/plot stuff:
    -The movie original character, Mito, returns. She has a good character design, a good character hook (she prioritized saving her own life over protecting a friend and is now near crippled with survivor's guilt, regular-type guilt, and basement level low self-esteem), and an incomprehensibly out of place and OP weapon for the point the storyline is at. This weapon design would be reasonable for floor say... 25 in a game designed to go 100 floors. It is floor FIVE in this movie. I don't dislike her, but the weapon thing is outrageous. In this same movie, high level characters are VERY impressed by a duelist weapon with a high strength stat (and no other special properties). Her weapon is a transforming chain scythe with multiple attack modes and a grappling hook. Come ON.
    -Argo should have been in the first movie, but at least she's basically the third main character of this one. A skilled and interesting female character who ISN'T in love with Kirito and has her own motivations and interests? She's basically a comet that comes around every 1000 years in terms of SAO character quality.
    -Speaking of Kirito, they deliberately skipped a few chapters and picked a storyline that's more about Asuna's development, which is appreciated once again. I enjoyed the detail that literally no one thought to invite him to a social occasion or even mention it to him (I don't hate him, but this is an appropriate thing to happen when he's SUPPOSED to be extremely socially isolated, especially at this time in the story).
    -The movies are warming up the Kirito and Asuna relationship much faster than the books, which I get, since they have a lot less time to work with, but it kind of defeats the purpose of the slow burn when you do it this way.
    -The movies continue to completely forget that Klein exists, which is very confusing to me. Like, yes at this point in the story he's training his guild to stand a chance on the front line, but why they went out of their way to never show or mention him... I don't get it.
