I watched it (chinese dub) growing up without ever knowing what it (or anime) was. When I was old enough to truly appreciate and comprehend it, it really touched me.
when i was in childhood i really love flame of recca,rurounin kenshin, pichi pichi pitch, card captor sakura an DN angel I really recommend this for an old anime.... :3 I watch doraemon and pokemon back then too... :3
I think my favorite Childhood anime, it has to be Digimon. Although for some people Digimon is simply a copy of Pokémon, I simply don't mind. They are both good none the less, no? ^w^
