This was my very first anime, which I began watching in the early summer of 1983. I figured it would be appropriate to post this here, since this marks my 30th year of anime. I'm fairly certain I was one of the only kids in the States in the early 80's who knew that Japan also made cartoons...oh crap...does that make me some kind of anime hipster?! *sigh* Anyhoo, I'm a huge fan of Rumiko Takahashi, and I'm quite happy that she introduced me into a wild world of fantasy, fun, romance and amazing storytelling. Kudos.
