As a kid, I was always a fan of animation but there was just something about animation that came from Japan. It just seemed so much more artistic and detailed than something like G.I. Joe or He-Man. So, I seeked it out. Rented it or watched it on Cinemax when I could. I think my first was Fist of the North Star or Vampire Hunter D. Eventually got to the big stuff like Akira and Ghost in the Shell. Then, I quit. For all of its beauty, anime was convoluted to me.

I still watched the occasional anime on Cartoon Network but not so much anymore.
