Wasn't popular here either, however I watched the original and the latest remake of it.

Yeah I See

As for me, I watched Almost All the seasons there are/were for this Anime. And All OVAs Too.
In the 80's and 90's we had only That To do Anyway. Watching these old Series over and over Again. There was no Internet or Cellphone at this Time ...

Hmm, Does the People in new Zealand usually watch a Lot of Anime? or you're kinda an exception here?

Well I would say that I am the exception to the rule, however the younger generation have been googling the internet more often these days, so I would say they have had the better chance of watching a lot of programs (Anime / TV series & Movies) that never appeared in New Zealand or other countries around the World.

Got to love the internet nowadays. I was just lucky that I re-invented myself to keep up with everything with the love of games, programming, animation, graphics, computing in the 90s to catch up with a lot of things that are current now.

Well, I'm not so into "Computing" and stuff like that. But for all the other things (Anime, Games, TV Series...) I can still follow you there ~

Started Ranma 1/2 and Monster on Netflix. Watched some of the OG Ranma before. I used to rent the video game on SNES, before I even knew it was an anime. Monster I keep hearing was good. Only a few episodes in, no spoilers please

"Renting" ? Oh yes, we were so Poor back then in the eighties ~ "we were just kidz" so. Only IzParagonzi was an Adult by then I think ...



Our Lips be sealed !

Yea, before or around the same time Blockbuster came through, our place called The Movie Doctor used to rent out games, movies , buy mtg boosters, was a different time. I still have my blockbuster card lol.

Oh Really? It wasn't Like That in my Area~..

In my Area, in the eighties we had a small shop called "Video Game 88" the same shop was definitevely closed in 1995 for "We never knew why..." I really Liked this shop.

In This Shop we could buy Video Games (of course) mostly Video Games from Super Famicom at this time ... for instance Chrono Trigger, Super Butouden ... (Dragon Ball Z in Jap) Secret of Mana and many others .. No Playstation Game, the Playstation wasn't out yet.

We could Also Buy Goodes (figurines mainly from Dragon Ball Z, ranma 1/2 and Sailor Moon) the three Big Hits at the time. We could Also Buy Manga, Mangas from Dragon Ball Z mainly (fe Dbz Manga Volume 41 had just Aired). And we could Also buy Dragon Ball Z Cards in this shop 👍. that were all the rage among the middle-schoolers boys at the time. Everyone would collect them. I've even seen some Girls who had a few DBZ Cards Back then !

I think I got confused with:

"Monster"
"Re Monster"

I have watched Ranma etc... just can not recall it... I may re-watch it.

I have however started watching the "sequel" to "Initial D" which is called "MF Ghost" and is currently airing Season 2 which is in the Episode of 5 maybe (dubbed).

It isn't too bad, the graphics are quite good and makes you feel like you are in the car at times.
