The attached video inspired me to make this post.

  1. What was your first series or movie?

  2. What were your first impressions?

  3. Best series or movie? Why?

  4. Worst experience with anime? Why?

I heard one of my siblings watching something in a language I didn't understand. It turned out to me Love Hina. It made me fall in love with the language and culture. My interest in the medium itself, I discovered later, perhaps with Pokémon and Dragon Ball. I don't remember my initial impressions, but it was warm and fun, I do remember. The immense sexualization of females was definitely encouraging to my adolescent cisman self, to the detriment of the female demographic, of course. Rose of Versailles is probably one of my favorite anime. Other than being an amazing story - considering that it was written by a TWENTY year young girl - the way that it conveys emotions visually and through the soundtrack is, to me, unparalleled. I don't really have any bad experience with anime. I guess I was shocked when

That song is beautiful but also very haunting.

negative feeling toward humanity

I don't see it that way. Miyazaki hates what Japan (and his own family) did during WW2, and what Japan did to its environment after the war, but his movies are about creating a better world.

I'm not criticising Tom and Jerry lol. It's very funny when you're a child, and quite well-animated for the time.

Yeah, no, I get that. I just have a tendency to linger on the negative, even if there is absolution or repentance at the end. I'm working on it... XD

All this talk about Tom and Jerry made me remember one of my favorite themes of Western animation from my childhood: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dMAVtSrkIhI
