i remember when i was a kid i used to wake up early (i used to be able to wake up early when i was a kid for some reason) and watch sailor moon. i loved the art and the action etc. i used to have this friend who told me about it, this was before the whole huge explosion, and i watched it, and loved it. and i noticed it had a similar style to sailor moon, and i could tell they were different from other cartoons. so i started looking up pokemon and found out it was an anime, and i started finding more and more stuff about anime and was really interested in it. then i got cartoon nextwork and i started watching DBZ, which i had seen pics of, and everything went on from there. more animes started popping up on tv that i watched, then eventually shonen jump came out etc etc.
