[ ANIME ]

Anime has been a significant part of my life, deeply woven into my identity. I started watching around 1984, enjoying series from the 1970s and 1980s. This passion continued into the early 2000s. After a period of diminished interest, my enthusiasm reignited in the late 2010s, leading to several years of avid consumption. While there's now an overwhelming amount of isekai and repetitive themes, I still keep an eye out for captivating new series. When they appear, I watch with the same passion as ever. Below are my favorite anime in chronological order, starting with the oldest. This list is not meant to be a complete inventory of all the anime I love, but rather to highlight those I want to remember the most years from now.

UFO Robo Grendizer

Watching UFO Robo Grendizer as a toddler in 1983 was a thrilling introduction to the world of anime. The giant mecha robot, with its super mega cool design, full of colors and awesome laser weapons, defender of the Earth, was irresistible to a little boy. While it's hard to comment on the quality since I haven't seen it in ages, it holds a special place as the first anime I was ever hooked on. This series marked my very first step into the anime universe at a time very few people knew about anime outside of Japan. It makes it a significant and nostalgic entry on my list.

Waga Seishun no Arcadia - Mugen Kidô SSX

This anime was the second anime I fell in love with, possibly even more than Grendizer. I watched it in 1984 and 1985, at an age where I was old enough to play and act out the action of the series. The memory is vivid—I recall the smell of eyeliner and have photos of my 4-year-old self in 1985, with a scar drawn on my cheek with that eyeliner, brandishing a plastic laser gun and sword, and wearing a black cape my grandmother made for me. While I can't comment on the quality now, this series represents another significant stepping stone in my journey as an anime fan.

Fist of the North Star

Fist of the North Star is a legendary and highly influential anime, known for its graphic violence. I watched a heavily censored version in 1988 and 1989, before it was canceled due to parental complaints. Despite this, all the little boys loved Ken. I vividly remember marking one of my toys with the seven scars and pretending it was Ken. This remains my favorite shounen anime of all time, and I am indeed a huge fan of Hokuto no Ken.

High School! Kimengumi

High School Kimengumi is another anime I remember vividly and fondly. Although it's been too long to comment on the actual quality, I recall it being absolutely crazy and hilarious. The school was like an asylum of crazies, making the series super fun despite likely being a censored version. I wish I could revisit it, but it's very hard to find nowadays, even using peer-to-peer.

Ranma 1/2

Ranma 1/2 holds a special place in my heart, taking me back to my childhood when I used to watch a censored version devoid of nudity in the early nineties. I remember playing a SNES version of a fighting game based on the series around 1994. At the time, Ranma was a popular martial arts comedy show due to its intriguing twist. Although most people have forgotten its existence, I still love it to this day and was thrilled to rediscover the uncensored Japanese version as an adult. Watching it now, it's clear that "Ranma 1/2" is more of a romantic comedy with martial arts elements, rather than the action series the censored version tried to present to kids in the nineties. Girl Ranma is so cute, adding a charming layer to the show's endearing humor. The nostalgia combined with the fresh experience of the original content makes "Ranma 1/2" a timeless treasure.

Rurouni Kenshin

Reflecting on Rurouni Kenshin fills me with sorrow. This great shounen, which I once loved deeply, now evokes sadness, anger, and disgust due to revelations about the author in 2017. Including it here is a nod to my personal history as an anime fan. Kenshin played a crucial role in sustaining my passion for anime, especially after many of my favorites, like Dragon Ball Z, concluded. Despite its significance, I can no longer support or revisit this work. What a waste.
