I got drawn into anime with some of the shows that were brought over to North America, chopped up and re-written for Saturday morning. Robotech, G-Force/Battle of the Planets and Astroboy were some favourites.
I also grew up with being able to rent some of the Force Five anime shows on VHS, so I got to see giant robot shows like Starvengers, Danguard Ace and Grandizer. Mecha anime is still my favourite today.
Of course, I watch some of the shows now and they're pretty dated, and some of the original programs weren't very good to begin with, like Super Dimension Cavalry Southern Cross and Genesis Climber Mospeada. Heck, the original Gatchaman wasn't even that good.
But now I really want to watch those old giant robot shows again, like Getter Robo and UFO Robot Grendizer. I think I'd still like them.
