I wanted to do this for a while, list the things that made me dream and draw back then~ I'm glad I saw Italian tv anime because the main why I remember them is for the awesome openings they made. So while listing, I'll add a link to the opening on youtube, so you can check them out. ^^

I also invite you to link me to your journal if you do the same~ I've always wondered what these series' opening songs were in, say, Spanish or English...

Sampei
Oh lol. I remember waking up early just to watch this when I was 4. It has to be the most random anime ever. I mean, it's about fishing. XD But I honestly thought Sampei was super cool, back then...

Saint Seya
I faintly remember watching this... but not understanding much, I think I was 4 or 5, lol. I liked Crystal tho! I though he was pretty. I also thought Andromeda was a girl. O_O;

Captain Tsubasa (Holly & Benji)
Yep! XD I played soccer because of this cartoon all through kindergarten and elementary school. I wanted to marry the goalkeeper, lol.

D'artagnan and the Three Mosquetiers
Yep. Here's where I got swords-obsessed... I gaped when I learned one of them was a woman, I don't remember the name, the blond one. o.o

Mowgli (?)
This was cute. ^_^ I think this is where my obsessions with talking animals began... XD

Sailor Moon (4th op.)
I watched it mostly because everybody else did, with my friend who was really heaps into it. We knew all the op. songs (there's 5, I think) by heart, lol.

Robin Hood
Oh, he was my hero alright. I hardly remember the cartoon tho, I was really little. But the op. song's stayed with me till this very day.

Dragon Ball | Z | GT
I liked it, but I wouldn't rewatch it if my life depended on it. And GT made this series crash and burn for me... I mean Trunks becomes a babysitter. T_T; I never lived that down...

Slayers
EPIC. Completely. I could not look away from this~ *_* It was dark but funny and I remember drawing pentagrams on my hands like mad and learning the words Lina said when she casted spells and saying them with her. My parents must have thought I was nuts, lol.

Magic Knight Rayearth
It was lovely. ^^ anything Fantasy worked wonders with my Tolkien-dazed little head. I never got as much into it as I did with Slayers tho. I've always had this... drawback... when it came to anything Clamp, for some reason. o.o

Pokemon
Yep. Watched this one too... but only the first series. Digimon stole me away later on, I got involved into the Digi-Poke war going on round back then, so I had to take sides... *amused* Btw, my fav Pokemon were Cefairy and Ditto. I used to ace like mad with my Colorless/Grass/Psycho deck. Fun times! XD

Digimon 01 | 02 | Tamers | Frontier
... do I need to go into detail with this one? XD It's an obsession I still have. And that I never wanna get over, for that matter~ X3 I loved all the series, tho I haven't seen Savers yet...

Gundam Wing
XD I was classically fascinated by Duo. Cliche' much? But hey. I learned a lot about perspective and politics (so to speak) with this one. Also. 1x2 / 3x4 / 5x6x13 = FTW.

Monster Rancher
I loved this so much even tho nobody I knew watched it. It was somewhat predictable, but still sort of fresh and I hearted the op really bad. ^_^

One Piece | 02
I loved One Piece before it became famous. When it did, I lost interest in it. >_> Eichiro Oda may be a genious, but what the Italian market started doing with this anime just really turned me off, sorry.

Beylade | V Force (G-Rev had the same)
Oh hell yeah, lol. I started watching it because the main characters reminded me of the GW-boys: Takao - Duo, Kai - Heero, Max - Quatre, Kenny - Trowa, Rei - WuFei... but later on I got carried away with its flow. My brother and I both still have our Beyblades, he Driger and I Dranzer. V Force has probbably the best op. song I've ever heard, on any anime, any language. *_*

Yu-Gi-Oh! | GX
I liked this one, even tho I rarely could watch it because I was always at school when they aired it... I loved how the usual 'damsel in distress' was not a girl but Seto's brother, Mokuba. He was cute. X3

That was fun~ brought back heaps of memories... There's more, I'm sure, maybe if I'll feel like it I'll add more some other time.

Back to sleep now. Tomorrow's a big day and I've got to get ready. ^_^

Chalanges Worth Participating In:
Launched by *reapersun:
"Here's the challenge: create a piece of work that celebrates the male form or male/male relationships (or both if you feel daring) and doesn't violate DA rules. Be very careful; they are critical of this genre. This means no questionable positioning that might be mistaken as sexual (actually, you could possibly get away with positioning if you include details that make it obvious its not sexual, i.e. Frankie Leyendecker [link] ) and no evidence of sexuality (i.e. hard-ons and fluids). Get as close to that line as you can. Then submit it on DA with proper warnings, maybe a preview, and include a mature content label. Basically, submit the most naked/gay/potentially offensive piece of male art you possibly can while following the DA guidelines. If they delete it, let everyone know about it, because as long as you follow the rules, they're the ones at fault."
Can be found here.

Check the number of pageviews. If it shows an interesting number, and I'm not too busy, you can try asking a fanart of me. Send me a screenshot in a note and I'll get back to you asap. ^_^
