Totally didn't see this. Sorry AT, I beat you.

Been watching since I was a fetus (or baby, whatever makes sense). :D
You didn't post when I made that post, I was referring to everyone above me.
Oh ok, my bad lol.

I know they are on in Canada... or at least were last time I watched TV about 3 months ago.

Zoids was on YTV at about 5 am and Cowboy Bebop was on Razer in their late night anime line up.

I don't know, maybe because it's just another Gundam copycat?
Gundam= Fighting Robots
Zoids= Dog Like Robots

Because there are so many better animes out there. I had the internet when it consisted almost entirely of anime and porn. I was too young to appreciate porn so I watched anime.

For me, it was Neon Genesis Evangelion. I was actually impressed with just about every aspect of it. Storyline, character development, visuals, originality along with many other aspects. Plus I have a weakness for shy/silent girls with blue hair...I mean what?! Who said that?

Wow, I didn't even remember Zoids. It wasn't that bad, I don't know which one I saw but I liked it.

And my mom...she was a fangirl of Captain Harlock. They were definitely the first generation of anime fans in the US. Then when I was an itty bitty baby, they definitely watched anime when they got home while I was around.
That reminds me that my mother was/is(?) into Mecha animes; unlike some friends whose parents told them to not watch anime because they are the devil (or some crap like that), she never said anything to me, in fact, she'd sometimes ask what was I watching if she was interested in it XD


EDIT:Oh, I almost forgot. Comparing Gundam and Zoids? Really? I can't understand why do people even compare animes.

...think about the way it was phrased, and the way people treat you...it is an insult...but Ziods wasn't bad, I mean...I always thought it was epic...and now everyone hates it *save for Ryoko*

i know it was an insult, but that doesnt explain how it was a problem.

Yeah, Gundam Didn't start out all that well. I remember seeing only Gundam Seed On TV for some reason, none of the others.
