I remember when I was big on Sailor Moon and cried getting a DVD from good old Blockbuster because it was subtitled and I wasn't very good at reading yet. And I wasn't really aware/comfortable with subs back then, so it was like "W-wait these aren't words I know what!?"
Dragonball I was big on when I was young, but I never seemed able to get into DBZ as easily. Mostly because I was biased and missed tiny Goku. I only really remember a couple Gundam series I watched... I didn't watch the notably older series, I think.
Forums Entertainment Old Anime!

Haha, that's unfortunate. I got one anime related video at Blockbuster and it was Princess Mononoke. I was... maybe 7, and the cover looked nice. Thankfully for me it was English dubs. Keeping up with subs would have been difficult because I wasn't a fan of them at that point, either. @_@
Yeah, Dragonball felt a lot more engaging to me looking back on it. DBZ is a lot of repeated gimmicks with space invaders and all whereas DB felt like more martial artist oriented fun. I especially liked all the tournament style episodes. DBZ didn't seem to have a lot of that in comparison.
Gundam was really entertaining for me, and made me watch Gundam Wing which is also super good. C;

@Dowan: I think my Miyazaki film was Kiki's Delivery Service. I remember trying to watch Princess Mononoke but I wasn't able to handle it honestly. >w< I may be able to nowadays, however. I'm still better at reading the more scary things than watching. Like Elfen Lied- I can't imagine having watched it when I was young or even now most likely. But it was a great read!
I have never actually gotten to trying Gundam Wing yet. Oops.
I'd like to try some older Pretty Cure in the future. Which I just realized sounds really funny... 'Older in the future'.

@Juneberry: Ah, I see! Kiki's Delivery Service is really good. No shame in backing out of something if it makes you uncomfortable. There'll always be other content you can enjoy. C;
I used to be obsessed with the idea of an older Pokemon. I read a fanfic called Pokemon Master by Acey Sanchez, and it changed my perspective quite a bit. It's also the piece that got me into writing. ;o
I also read above you're into Detective Conan, and... it pains me to admit, but I recently watched 795 episodes. It was last year or so? It's like crack, man. That anime is so good, and I can't wait to see where it's going. The darker story eps are my favorite. @_@

@Dowan: I mean, Pokemon itself is an old franchise at this stage. So is Digimon, for that matter- I still need to catch up with my friends on the Tri marathon we'd been doing (I missed last session so I'm like one movie behind). I have to find that fanfic now just for curiosity~
Detective Conan really was like a drug for me as a youngster! I still watch the movies in recent years once in a while. I also own 99% of it I think in regards to the manga. Takes a lot of space, I tell you. I don't know why but thinking about that also reminds me of when I watched DNAngel when I was younger... Perhaps because I like to imagine how the titular detective of one would deal with the magical thief of the other. I mean Conan's seen some weird stuff naturally, so... How would his logic vs. the weirdness he's been through interact with a magical thief stealing art with magic in them?

@Ina: A lot of anime do that. Like Fruits Basket drove me nuts with it! >w<
@Ina: Holy shit, I watched that too! It was super good.
@Juneberry: Did you know they're finally dubbing all of the Sailor Moon episodes they never did? And redoing dubs? Apparently.

@nyreen: o ya the anime was just the tip of the iceberg
literally in this case
the anime is p loyal to the manga, just cut of short.
i wonder if they were planning on chopping it into seasons or something cause there was an OVA which was what would actually be next if they continued the series lol
i should re-read it again

@nyreen: omg no I didn't!! That's epic news <3 I still want the news of the original Cardcaptor Sakura being dubbed without cutting out half of it like America did :'D They just stopped partway through I swear.
@Ina: I tend to prefer the manga too, but some series have such epic anime I somehow end up preferring them. It varies a lot. But usually I'm more attached to the manga. Plus I can read things faster than I watch them.
