Anime Fansub

As a kid I remember watching G-Force (Gacha Man in Japanese) back in the UK which was dubbed into English - wouldn't have been able to understand it otherwise.

Macross - do you remember love was the movie that really got me into anime which was a VHS that I got from China town in London dubbed into Cantonese.

I started to get more and more into anime and got myself many dubbed anime titles that were released at the time in the UK by Manga Entertainment - titles like Fist Of The North Star, Project A-Ko, Akira and a few others.
I wanted to know more about Manga Entertainment and future anime releases so I approached them and ended up meeting with the CEO. At the end of the meeting, he asked me whether I would like to write for their anime fan magazine. He said that we would send me pre-release videos and some other ones that they were considering for the UK market. T'was a tough choice but I accepted ^^;

Pre-release meant that the videos were raw-unsubbed. I was learning Japanese at the time and the new opportunity was further encouragement for me to keep focused on learning Japanese - You can read my original goal and reasons for learning Japanese in this article.

Ever since then I made a point of watching raw-unsubbed with a dictionary next to me to look up new words - the purchase of an electronic dictionary helped immensely.
