Disclaimer: All anime series (and non-anime series) that are mentioned in this fic are not mine. My thoughts however are.
This is not really a story involving anime it's a story about how I got obsessed and my thoughts on it (boring but I'm bored.)
It's funny how fast things can change. Had you asked me in fifth grade what anime was I would have asked you if you were speaking another language. The summer after fifth grade changed that.
I have two things to blame for my current obsessions. My cousin Kelsey and my fear. Kelsey was obsessed at the time with Sailor Moon and told me to watch it. I gave it a chance and I liked it. Soon I would watch Sailor Moon then go back to the channel I had been so faithful to. Nickelodeon. Ahhh Nick I was so faithful I never watched any other channel half as long. But alas I am a fredy cat. At the time Toonami had four shows. Sailor Moon, Reboot, DragonBall Z, and Johnny Quest. Sailor Moon became my favorite quickly. For some reason I began to watch Reboot. And now it's time for my fear.
I hated Are You Afraid of the Dark? It was scary (to me anyway.) And it was on for an hour from five to six. I of course didn't like that. Who do you think I ran to when I couldn't stand being on the edge of my seat any longer? That's right Toonami. I watched DragonBall Z. I can still remember where I came in. It was when Goku and Vegeta were fighting for the first time. I didn't understand it but I was intrigued. Now when I look back on it I consider myself from the "Gohan Age" as he was the closest born to when I came in. I never did like Johnny Quest and would turn off the T.V at this time. Little did I know that something wonderful was about to replace dear old Johnny.
They had probably advertised it for awhile. For some reason I seemed to block it out. I was only interested in Sailor Moon, Reboot, and DragonBall Z. Then on the day of it's arrival I didn't even watch it. Nor the day after that not even the third episode. I don't even think it was the fourth. But my first episode Ronin Warriors was when they rescued Cye from the water. Like DragonBall Z I didn't understand, but a quick first episode from Midnight Run cleared everything up. I was smitten by Ryo. God I was in love with him. At that point I didn't know about the other millions in love with anime characters. It became and obsession. Even my parents knew the name of it. Toonami.
Other shows entered Toonami some of them were good too. Gundam Wing, Tenchi Muyo, Outlaw Star and I'm sure their were others preceding my knowledge. I always loved seeing new episodes to shows that already exsisted. Besides the voice changes and the not-so-great animation I liked the plot of the Heart Snatchers and the Amazon Quartet. And I absolutly loved the new episodes of DragonBall Z.
I'm looking forward to the even newer episodes too. Now as I look at myself I find that now I'm the one obsessed with Sailor Moon (I think Kelsey got tired of it and only watches it with me) and the other anime shows. And I see my friend Britt in love with Trunks smitten as I am and always will be (unless my sanity wakes up which I doubt) smitten with Ryo. And now I'm trying to complete operation Q. Which Britt and I are trying to get Dana smitten with Quatre from Gundam Wing.
And I still think it's funny how fast I can change. Now if you ask me what anime is I'll give you a long winded answer and describe the importance of anime in our society and futhermore give you some examples of anime. Personally as long as the obsession doesn't hurt anyone or get out of control I think it's okay. Just as long as you don't diss Ryo.
Well I hope you liked my thoughts. What can I say...I was bored. :-D
