Report Foggye's Profile

I started watching anime (well at least shitty US versions of them) dating back to watching the US version of Starship Yamato (Starblazers) and Speed Racer when was I kid.

I was really taken a couple years later with the release of Robotech (a dubbed and re-edited compilation of 3 different animes), and butchered version of Miyazaki's Kaze no Tani no Nausicaa called Warriors of the Wind. I really think Miyazaki's vision of animation caught my eye; while Robotech's linear storyline appealed to me.

American cartoons for the most part lack plot, and are usually based on some basic human principle over just a single episode like: friendship, greed, or happiness. They failed to go anywhere in particular, or were extremely repetitive (like Scooby Doo). I mean come on, in G.I.Joe with the amount of guns blazing and not one person died. With Robotech, the tragic deaths of Roy, Ben Dixon and Gloval added a degree of humanity and morality to a cartoon that I never experienced before.

And the rest, they say, is history.
