BACKGROUND:
I'VE BEEN WATCHING ANIME AND "READING" MANGA SINCE THE 60'S, MY FIRST EXPERIENCE WITH ANIME WAS IN THE EARLY 60'S WATCHING KIMBA THE LION AND ASTRO BOY ON THE JAPANESE STATION OUT OF LOS ANGELES. I COULDN'T UNDERSTAND JAPANESE, BUT MY MOM, WHO IS FULL JAPANESE, WOULD GIVE ME A LOOSE TRANSLATION. LATER, A TRANSLATED GIGANTOR (PRESENT DAY "TETSUJIN 28") MADE IT TO CHANNEL 5 OUT OF LOS ANGELES THEN THE BIGGIE, SPEED RACER. DURING THAT TIME, I WAS GETTING ALL MY MOM'S JAPANESE MAGAZINES AND NEWSPAPERS TO FOLLOW THE MANGA. ALMOST ALL WERE SAMURAI STORIES. AND OF COURSE, I COULDN'T READ THEM, BUT I COULD FOLLOW THEM. THEY WERE VERY VIOLENT. THEN I STARTED MY COMIC BOOK ROMANCE THAT LASTED TO PRESENT DAY. I OPENED A COUPLE COMIC BOOK SHOPS IN THE LATE 80'S THRU THE LATE 90'S. IN THE 80'S ANIME WAS EASY TO FIND OUT OF JAPAN ON LASER DISC. VERY EXPENSIVE AND HAD ONLY 2 OR 3 EPISODES ON ONE DISC, BUT THE QUALITY WAS GREAT AND THE SUBS DECENT. IN MY STORES I CARRIED SOME VHS AND UNTRANSLATED MANGA IN MY STORES, BUT THEY WEREN'T A VERY GOOD SELLER BACK THEN. THE TRANSLATED COMICS DID WELL THOUGH. LONE WOLF AND CUB, MAI AND DIRTY PAIR TO NAME A COUPLE WERE VERY POPULAR. JAPANESE COMIC BOOKS HAD THEIR FOLLOWING WITH THE 20 SOMETHING CROWD. I CLOSED MY LAST STORE IN 1999. THE COMIC BOOK INDUSTRY KILLED ITSELF BACK THEN WITH OVER PRODUCTION AND TOO MANY SPECIAL ISSUES. COMICS LIKE THE "DEATH OF SUPERMAN" AND "SILVER SURFER 50" WERE THE BEGINNING OF THE END. THEN A MIRACLE HAPPENED, "THE DVD". MY PERSONAL ANIME COLLECTION STARTED TO GROW. I WAS STILL BUYING LASER DISCS FROM JAPAN, BUT NOW I COULD GET IT CHEAPER AT HOME. I TRIED LISTENING TO AUDIO DUBS AT THE BEGINNING AND THE ONLY GOOD ONE WAS MY ALL-TIME FAVORITE ANIME, "COWBOY BEBOP". WHAT A GREAT DUB. PERFECT. PRETTY MUCH EVERYTHING ELSE WAS CRAP, BUT IT WAS PERFECT. SINCE THAT INITIAL SAMPLING I ONLY WATCH ANIME WITH SUBS. THE JAPANESE CASTS ARE THE BETTER CHOICE IN MY OPINION. THE LATE 90'S BROUGHT ME "EBAY". IT WAS BETTER AT THE BEGINNING WITH THE LOWER FEES AND PAYPAL WAS GIVING $20 RECOMMENDATION BONUSES. AND I'VE BEEN HERE EVER SINCE. I'VE CUT DOWN MY SELLING FROM THE BEGINNING. I LIKE SELLING JUST ANIME NOW. IT'S ONE OF MY LOVES WITH MANGA ALSO. 50 YEARS LATER, I'M STILL WATCHING ANIME AND READING (NOW TRANSLATED) MANGA. MY FAVORITES RIGHT NOW ARE "GATE SEASON TWO" AND OF COURSE "ERASED". THERE ARE SOME NEW SERIES THAT LOOK GOOD COMING OUT. I STARTED WATCHING "RE: ZERO", "LOST VILLAGE" AND "BIG ORDER". THE ANIME FUTURE IN THE STATES LOOKS BRIGHT. 10 YEARS AGO I WOULD HAVE NEVER THOUGHT I COULD SELL THIS MANY ANIME DVD. I HOPE TO BE SELLING ANIME TO YOU UNTIL I DON'T KNOW WHAT A COMPUTER IS ANYMORE. BUT I WILL STILL BE WATCHING ANIME. IF YOU MADE IT TO THE END, REWARD YOURSELF WITH WATCHING A COUPLE OF EPISODES OF ANIME. 10 TO 20 SHOULD DO.........JEFF
