What Was Your First Anime Obsession?

by The Anime News Network Editorial Team, Mar 23rd 2016

Although I watched a ton of anime, the first one to make me obsessed was FMA/FMA:B (I know, shocker, right?)

And, apparently, it’s stood the test of time, because I’m still watching it over and over again. I’m continually seeing new things I didn’t notice before and I agree with Rose Bridges in the article that the political parts mirror things happening in the world.

Besides, how could I not obsess over this?

While Sailor Moon was really the introductory anime that guided me into the world of anime through word of mouth from a friend and was completely impressed, the anime that really changed my world completely to even purchasing anime had to be Neon Genesis Evangelion. I couldn’t be more prouder to own this masterpiece and I do enjoy giant robots.

Per the licensing post: Remember that most companies have a budget, so as long as the licensing costs keep escalating like they are, be prepared for the number of titles a company can license to go way down.

Really don’t expect Sentai to license more than five titles per season this year.
