They see me rollin'


I had no concept of it as anime at the time, but I loved this show when I was little.

It got a US home video release as a movie length story, but it was actually a 24 episode anime they spliced together. I have always wanted to see the full thing just out of curiosity, but it looks like the original Japanese version never got any kind of home video release, and might be lost to time apart from a french VHS dub.

There was definitely an ad for Candy Candy in the middle of it too, but I never saw any of it beyond that.

There was also this version of Aladdin my sister liked.

Lots of Speed Racer and Ghibli movies, and my Dad had a Beautiful Dreamer shirt that I noticed he always got compliments on from random college students.

Nothing notable after that until Sailor Moon and Pokemon started airing on TV, followed by DC++ hubs and torrents becoming a thing, and it's all downhill from there.

I was really lucky that my local home video store ended up turning into one of the largest video archives in the world. There was always weird foreign movies on the shelves right next to everything else.
