Animedude5555 Posted March 29, 2014 Report Share Posted March 29, 2014 When I saw an ad banner on a web page that said "learn how to draw anime" and I thought it was a mistake by an English-as-a-second-language individual who wrote the ad who didn't now how to spell "animation". Later I heard someone talking about anime, and realized at that point it was a legit thing, and when I asked them about it they told me it was Japanese animation.

Ari-Yang Posted April 18, 2014 Report Share Posted April 18, 2014 For me, I'd say when I first saw Pokemon when I was about 7 or 8. I noticed the way everything was drawn, it was different than a cartoon; sharp edges, spikey hair, different style movements.....and the screaming (DBZ).

nuclearwar Posted September 7, 2014 Report Share Posted September 7, 2014 When did I realize? When I saw naked boobs in an anime. That NEVER happens in cartoons. That's when you know you're watching something different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kumori Posted October 14, 2014 Report Share Posted October 14, 2014 When I was six. They were playing Madou King Granzort on Japanese with Serbian subtitles, as well as English-dubbed Gal Force. But I've only learned of the term when I was around ten or eleven, and when I was actually officially introduced to the AniManga world via Hellsing, X, Genma Taisen (Harmagedon), and Boogiepop Phantom, all of which aired on Canal+ in Japanese, and all of which remain my all-time favorites.

Noham Posted April 27, 2015 Report Share Posted April 27, 2015 (edited) In the 90's in France (1989-1997+-), when i have 8/9 yo, with Dragon Ball, Saint Seiya, Captain Tsubasa, City Hunter and Hokuto no Ken. Theses series was really popular and brocast(ed?)/showed in 2PM in the first channel of France (like BBC in UK).Just, for English people who don't know what is Ken, is that :>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MppC6uYODYo>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mQD2w4HU3jw Beside that, we had in the 90's American & French cartoons : Ducktales, Tintin, Mickey, Spirou, Heidi, He-Man, TMNT, X-Men, etc... and the difference is huge... And the manga (the book) too, is really different of the European comics (like Tintin, Astérix, etc...) or the old American comics with some cheesy stories/lines/drawn, it's really evolued (and the book is really big beside US/EU Comics).

DarkGanta Posted May 16, 2015 Report Share Posted May 16, 2015 Pokemon and DBZ were really popular when I was in 1st grade and I remember hearing that Pokemon was from Japan. I LOVED Pokemon as a kid in all forms, though I didn't care for DBZ as a kid (I like it now). I always knew those shows were different, but didn't hear the term "Anime" until around 4th-5th grade when my older friend next door talked about it.

egghead Posted May 21, 2015 Report Share Posted May 21, 2015 I consider them all cartoons so I still don't realize they are different, but I became aware of anime when DBZ really got popular in America. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
