Just add ...and something anime related from the past.

...If you wanted a Mecha you watched Voltron!

...If you wanted anime boobs you went out of bought a Ranma box set!

...If you wanted guys with open shirts fighting to save the world you had DBZ or Yu Yu Hakkusho. And you know what? We loved it!  

[Veddhartha]

...we didn't know or care if we called manga anime.
...and only manga we knew was Akira.

. . . . I struggled to understand why my son spent so much time playing with and trading Pokemon cards.

...nobody knew Voltron was just an American Frankensteining of Hyakujuu-oh Golion and Kikou Kentai Dairugger XV.
...I was not ashamed to say "Charmander", "Charmeleon", and "Charizard" instead of "Hitokage", "Lizard", and "Lizardon".

...the difference between Macross and Robotech could practically ignite a civil war.

...the difference between Macross and Robotech could practically ignite a civil war.

Still does. There are still people who will tell Robotech fans "It's called a VALKYRIE, Robocrap fan" if the comment saying "Veritech fighter" was made on a Macross clip.  

[Divinity Rage]

...you remember thinking Saturday Anime on Sci-Fi channel was intense.

...Gigantor the space-age robot was at your command.

...Astroboy was a pretty cool Comic Book.
