Early 1990s when I started watching The Transformers (1984), though that was before I learned that not all cartoons are American (However, while the classic Speed Racer series was the second anime I got into, you may consider this what made me the anime fan I'm today if you don't consider the original Trasnformers to be anime)

News: Sentai Filmworks Rescues Gatchaman

When it was revealed that Imagi's plans to do a CGI animated Gatchaman movie were abandoned two years ago, thinking about the problem itself while noticing that all North American commercial distribution licenses to the Gatchaman anime expired before the start of Imagi's planning began made me worried that futre generations of North America-based anime will never have a chance to officially be introduced to the anime superhero legend, especially when it was the original 1972 Gatchaman T.V. series that began the sentai trope in anime. But then fortunately during the weeekend, ANN revealed that U.S.-based anime distributor Sentai Filmworks had gotten the license to commercially distribute both the 1972 Gatchaman T.V. series and the 1994 Gatchaman OVA minseries on DVD and blu-ray. The North American re-releases are to happen in October 2013.

Now, North American audiences who haven't yet been introduced to Gatchaman can finally experience the landmark superhero anime classics, that is if they're willing to give anime classics a fighting chance of course.
