I watched Sailor Moon Stars and the Kyoto Arc of Rurouni Kenshin on VHS fansubs that circulated around my middle school group. I also got the first 25 episodes of Naruto fansubbed sent to me by someone on a different forum I was on because we didn't have a DVD player in my house and my computer didn't have a cd burner at the time. My grandma was incredibly pissed because I gave my real name and address to internet strangers as a 14/15 year old. Still, there's something about going in to a Hollywood Video or Blockbuster and grabbing random anime VHS tapes. I watched Gundam 0083 that way because my grandma wanted me to get something my brother would like when I was picking up the Sailor Moon R movie VHS. It's how I watched the first Tenchi Muyo OVA series, Slayers, Devil Hunter Yohko, Bubblegum Crisis and AD Police, Tokyo Babylon, the X/1999 movie, and a bunch of other stuff.

If we're talking dubs and outtakes I gotta give a shout out to Wiess Kruez. It was absolutely awful no matter what language you watched it in but the dub outtakes are great.

Sorcerer Hunters was one of those "oh this looks neat" VHS/dvd finds and I have a nostalgic fondness for it. It also had a great OP. We had the International Channel and one of those fun teen memories I have is watching unsubbed Fushigi Yuugi with some friends and then looking online for synopsis of it later.

I hate Light so much and I hate watched Death Note just to be sure he died. For that reason I'll never rewatch.

All I see here are a bunch of dudes who never watched live action movies and dramas of their favorite shoujo manga. At least watch the first Nana movie and the Hana Yori Dango adaptions.

Oh and the live action Sailor Moon rules.

Paracelsus posted:I saw the first live-action episode of Honey and Clover, one of my favorite anime of all time. Not all adaptions are good. Off the top of my head, I hate the live action Paradise Kiss movie and I especially hate that they change the ending. The live action Hot Gimmick movie is terrible but the source material is also terrible, so it just highlights the worst stuff.

Both Vampire Knight and Angel Sanctuary were part of my mainstay trashy shojo manga choices. They both were dumb, edgy and ridiculous in a way that I still think of fondly. Plus Angel Sanctuary was really pretty. You better believe I also read Mayu Shinjou manga but felt a little more guilty about those ones.
