MyLittlePonyTales Posted March 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2012 Lord Wikipedia says (found it since i know the spanish name )Moonlight Mask (月光仮面 Gekkō Kamen?) is a fictional superhero that has appeared in Japanese tokusatsu and anime television shows and movies since his TV debut in 1958. Created by writer Kōhan Kawauchi, Moonlight Mask is best described as Japan's answer to The Lone Ranger and Batman.(...)The 1972 anime seriesThe anime adaptation Seigi wo Ai Suru Mono - Gekkō Kamen (正義を愛する者 - 月光仮面), translated as The One Who Loves Justice: Moonlight Mask, was produced by Knack, and aired on Nippon Television from January 10, 1972 to October 2, 1972, with a total of 39 episodes (divided into three segments). The show also became very popular in Latin America under the title Centella (Fang Note: spanish for Sparkle.... no, really) . Japanese voice actor Michihiro Ikemizu provided the voice of Jūrō Iwai/Moonlight Mask.Huh, that's the one I found too, but it didn't sound enough Chonico's description...It was about a man dressed in all white who wore a cape and rode around on a white motorcycle.Wiki: "Decked out in white tights, white & red cape, white scarf, yellow gloves & boots..."His emblem was a yellow crecent moon and he threw crecent moon shaped projectiles at his enemies, kind of like "batarangs" for Batman. His enemies though, were an alien species trying to destroy and enslave humans. The monsters he fought were almost always humans mutated and twisted by the aliens.Wiki: No mention of either of these things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chonico Posted March 6, 2012 Report Share Posted March 6, 2012 Huh, that's the one I found too, but it didn't sound enough Chonico's description... Like I said, this was back when I was like 3 or 4 years old. I'm amazed I remembered he wore white and rode a motorcycle I too was thinking it wasn't it, but as soon as I found a video clip and heard the intro theme song... POW! Yup! That's it. Flood of memories came with that too. Heck, I even remembered I dressed up as him for Nightmare Night. Although I'm pretty sure all my costume consisted of was me dressed in white PJ's, a cape, a mask, and a pair of swimming goggles.And no wonder I couldn't remember the name. Centella? Yeah, grew up south of the border, but still. Centella?Still, I'm pretty impressed you were able to find it with my description based off of the horribly cloudy memories of a time long ago. Think I might try and find me a few episodes and enjoy myself a bit. Thanks Blank Fang! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianblackberry Posted March 6, 2012 Report Share Posted March 6, 2012 My "first exposure" to Japanese animation was the edited and dubbed versions done for American television back in the Eighties. This would be Volton, Star Blazers (original Japanese series: Space Battleship Yamato), and Battle of the Planets/G-Force (original Japanese series: Super Ninja Team Gatchaman). At that point I view them pretty much like I viewed any action-adventure cartoon series of that era, cool but typical.My first "true" exposure to anime from Japan was VHS copies of Arcadia of my Youth in the late Eighties that my mom showed me. The movie enthralled me. Here was animation that wasn't dumbed down for kids, or censored in all sorts of manner for the sake "of teh children". In around a year after I had my first copies of anime that I owned (on VHS), recorded by a friend, and with (fan-dubed) subtitles: Project A-ko and Dirty Pair: Project Eden, I was also handed a few episodes of Ranma 1/2. These are what launched me headlong into my anime obsession of the early and mid-Nineties, back in the days before Sailor Moon and Dragoball Z on cartoon network made anime hip and popular in the US (at that time I was already starting to move away from my anime-obsessive days).

Starfox64x Posted March 9, 2012 Report Share Posted March 9, 2012 Hm, i'm not entirely sure... Could've been a lot of things, but lets see what i remember...I remember waaay back when i was 4-6. i was up fairly late, watching cartoon network around midnight. Gundam was on, and i was just mindlessly watching cartoons. my mom was in the kitchen nearby and we were about to go to bed... but as i watched i heard a character say 'damn' and i freaked out. it was a cartoon and someone cursed? god forbid! hehe. i think my mom called someone up to complain, but i dont remember, i wasnt that into it...now the first animes that i was actually into was either Pokemon, Dragon ball z, Case Closed, or Lupin III, not sure... all i remember from way back then was waking up particularly early (4am) to watch Lupin and Case Closed while they were on cartoon network.

FrankT Posted March 11, 2012 Report Share Posted March 11, 2012 Easy enough: Pokemon! Me sister used to watch it from the very first episode... I remember it very well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KyraThePsychotic Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 I do believe it was Gundam Wing.I should go watch that again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyLoona42 Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 Truth be told, I don't actually remember which anime I started on. Either it was Sailor Moon or Escaflowne... My memory isn't the best, although, I do know that the one anime that really got me started was Inuyasha and Fullmetal Alchemist following up right behind it. While now a days, I've lost interested in the repeating puns of Inu Yasha, FullMetal Alchemist is still one of my most favorite animes and when the second series, FMA: Brotherhood came out, I was having a fangirl attack. Hahaha! So, Yeah, Either Sailor Moon or Escaflowne. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunes Posted March 22, 2012 Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 It might have been Pokemon? It was something my brothers watched and I refused to admit I had any interest in, though it had some memorably weird scenes. "WOOPA WOOPA WOOPA LA LA WOOPA WOOPA WOOOPA LA LA."The absolute first time I sat down, watched an anime, and thought, "Ooo neat!" was Princess Mononoke, my freshman year of high school. I'd had foot surgery and was on some heavy postsurgical painkillers. I was flipping the channels, and came across the little kodama/head bobble guys, and it blew my valium-slowed mind. Eventually went back and watched the full movie, no painkillers involved, and it was still fantastic.First series I followed and enjoyed was Cowboy Bebop. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkOverLight Posted March 22, 2012 Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 My first anime was Dragon Ball Z when I was just a wee boy. I only ever watched it when it was on though, I never knew when the new episode played or anything. So afew years after that I watched every episode properly and now I'm an Anime Addict.

DuskShores Posted March 24, 2012 Report Share Posted March 24, 2012 "L did you know,Gods of death love apples?"I am obsessed with Death Note,since I prefered live action stuff to Anime,Never actually watched any.Then I saw Death Note(the only thing that appealed to my horror love)And realised It was a manga.On another note,I recently restarted watching it,and noticed that the voice of Near is also Spike!So I was(Sort of)A brony before it was cool!

sleeps Posted March 24, 2012 Report Share Posted March 24, 2012 Well I've pretty much out grown my anime craze (In college you have little to no money so anime tends to take a back seat) but I think the first one I watched was either escaflowne or pokemon.

cheese canan Posted March 24, 2012 Report Share Posted March 24, 2012 i'm not too sure/can't remember clearly anymore, but I think mine was either pokemon, digimon, sailor moon, or cardcaptors... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PopcornPuffs Posted March 25, 2012 Report Share Posted March 25, 2012 I think my first animé to watch was Sailor Moon but aahh I barely remember anything of it. I wasn't THAT into it... The only animés that were on TV when I was 7-8 was Sailor Moon and Silver Fang.But then Pokémon came along! And Digimon. But if we're not counting those as animés then Cardcaptor Sakura. It came on TV when I was like 11 or 12, which I was highly dedicated to! Then later .hack//SIGN arrived and it has to be my favorite animé ever ;DI'm not into animé anymore though :c nopenopenopenope cartoon network for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PixieSunBelle Posted March 28, 2012 Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 When I was born I was given a Hello Kitty stuffed animal, however never watched the show before or knew that it was one. My first anime was DragonBallZ and I watched it with my boyfriend. I didn't know it was anime though. I just knew that it was Japanese. Then about 2 years later I met a friend who introduced me to the anime scene with School Rumble and then after that: Chobits, Negima, Chibi Vampire, Love Hina, and a few others. After that I started looking up anime on my own and found my favorite is Fruits Basket. After all this time I'm still reading the manga. I'm almost done but I can't afford the next book which I will only buy and read.. and not read online. Its torture really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twimsy Posted March 29, 2012 Report Share Posted March 29, 2012 Very first anime without knowing it was from Japan? Maya the Bee, when they had it on Nick Jr. waaaaaaay back in the early 90's. Then of course Sailor Moon and Pokemon, and then I delved into the wondrous world of anime fully when I started watching Cowboy Bebop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MegaMare Posted April 2, 2012 Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 Hmm... I believe my first anime was either Kiki's Delivery Service or Pokemon. Now my friend, who's an otaku, basically suggests great animes to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MechaTwilight Posted April 2, 2012 Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 Wow, I feel reaally old now... I started watching anime with Astro Boy (The original) and Speed Racer in the late 70's early 80s. Moved on to Voltron and StarBlazers, but my anime collection started with Project Ako, Urusei Yatsura and Bubblegum Crisis... and I was in my mid teens when those started making their way over on VHS. Now I have a huge shelf filled bottom to top with anime and a couple of display cases filled with anime models I've painted. Characters, not the mechs.

Xiee Posted April 2, 2012 Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 Dragon Ball Z was the first thing I started watching without subtitles because everyone was watching it and I wanted to be in with the crowd. But the first real Anime that I liked and loved, and secretly watched was Sailormoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceStorm Posted April 9, 2012 Report Share Posted April 9, 2012 My first exposure to the world of anime was sailor moon. I never got around to finishing it, but I still enjoyed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
