"The Greenhouse New Year's Dream," by Mikuni Hadime, is a mini-sequel to
"Ichiban Suki na Hito" from Yuri Hime Wildrose (See Dynasty at
http://dynasty.evalpowar.com/ for a scanlation of "Ichiban Suki na Hito").
Saki's first dream of the new year is naughty.

As you can guess from the title, Hakamada Mera's "The Boundary Between Archer
and Scorpion" deals with astrology.

"Teacher's Pet," by Johnouchi Nene, is about the relationship between a teacher
and the headmistress at a private girls' school. This is the last one-shot we're
doing from Yuri Hime Wildrose 2.
Please be aware that this release contains adult content.

In Murasakino Misato's "Parachute Limit," Noriko gets sick after being out in
the rain with Shimako, and the two of them share a sweet moment.

The sixth installment of Morishima Akiko's YurixYuri Observation Diary is about
wrestling.

Thank you so so so much for all the beautiful releases and
especially "The Yuri Cage". It had me in tears at the end..mixed joy
and sadness. What happened to poor little Kagome and I am curious
about the curious girl's name in the park...? I also liked the sequel
story to it as well.
Hope I did not ruin anything here..but again..my many thanks for such
a wonderful gift from everyone at Lililicious to us/me..

-Bill

Because the question "Who is Shampoo?" brings shudders of sadness to
all of those people here for whom "Ranma 1/2" was their gateway into
the world of anime, I think we need this thread again. :-)

On a popular forum a few weeks ago, some called "Sailor Moon" an
obscure series that no one. Legitimately so - it's 14 years old.
(Really, it is.)

So, all you veterans - to educate all the kids here, by which I mean,
those who think "Kannazuki no Miko" is a classic of Yuri - let's hear
what your gateway anime were and why someone should watch it *now?*

My first anime ever was Speed Racer. It played right after "Space
Robots" and was full of crazy. "Those are the fastest camels I've ever
seen!" I was 6. lol I recommend watching the old dubs now only for the
crack-headeness of it all. Not good, but hysterically bad.

My gateway into the giant suckhole of anime/manga collecting was "Star
Blazers". My friend, my future sister-not-in-law, was a huge Matsumoto
obsessive. We were in high school, she cheerfully bankrupted herself
for books and collectailes. Instinctively, I shied away, because I
could see that this hobby would be an endless sinkhole of time and
money. I do recommend watching Star Blazers for two reasons - watch a
dub *completely, utterly, totally* change a character. Poor manly
Desslar became intriguingly, ambiguously gay Desslock. lol  And for a
taste of the early epic anime that reached these shores. Like
watching "Casablanca" to understand something about movies, you should
watch this series to understand something about anime.

My big epiphany came with "Sailor Moon." It was shiny, gay, and just
because it was one of those series that had the right cast and the
right writers and the right audience at the right time, I think it's a
classic...no, *the* ...classic magical girl anime and should be
required viewing for every and any Yuri fan. Sure, it's full of crappy
repetitive footage and utterly silly attacks, and immensely marketable
goods. What's your point? lol It also has ridiculousy sticky music
(come on, everyone sing Moonlight Desentsu!) and one of the most
talented voice casts ever in the history of anime.

And by god it had Japanese TV's fisrt lesbian couple. Really, I don't
care if you don't love Eudial and Doorknobder (Doorknobder, RIP) the
way I do, but you should at least watch the first kiss episode,
Uranus' orgin episode, Usagi's heart crystal two-parter AND Minako's
heart crystal episode in the third season. ("Hehehe, heart came out")
At *least*. Right now.

Okay, there. I've got that off my chest. You all convinced me once
before that I should watch "Project A-ko," convince me (and all the
newbies that have never heard of it) now that I should watch El Hazard
or Maze. Or tell those who missed it why they should watch Utena, etc,
etc.

Your turn.

Cheers,

Erica

First anime I ever watched was probably the local English dub of
Voltes V or Candy Candy. Voltes V has been on TV more (since the
rights situation for Candy Candy is a little messed up,  to say the
least), though I like the follow-up show Daimos better. About the only
way to get me to watch a soap opera is if it has a giant robot fight
in every episode. Also remember Cyborg 009; not sure if it was the
sixties or seventies version, though it was probably the latter given
that it aired here in the early eighties.

Watched a whole bunch of U.S. dubbed anime on TV and Betamax (anyone
else remember that? Bueller?). Speed Racer, Star Blazers, the 1980
Astroboy, Saber Rider, Thundersub, Voltron, Macron 1, and of course,
Robotech. There was actually a local (or maybe Hong Kong) English dub
of Macross before Robotech aired here, though I mostly remember the
last words of the theme song: "Super Space Fortress called
MAHHHH-CROSS!"

But until the nineties anime was lumped in with all the other
cartoons, despite all the local dubs leaving the OP/EDs and on-screen
text in Japanese. First anime I watched as "Japanimation" is
undoubtedly Project A-ko. Soon after, Tagalog dubs of Sailor Moon and
Magic Knight Rayearth were on TV, after I'd read about them in
Animerica.

My Yuri gateway was Battle Athletes Victory, as I've written before. It
may be old-school (and by 'old-school' it's from the 1990's), but it's
funny, weird, imaginative and entertaining(and since it's Geneon and
FUnimation will likely never rescue it, people should start collecting
the 8 volumes wherever they can).

But before that, my gateway to Anime in general was the Tenchi Muyo
OVA. This series and its spin-offs were also funny, weird, imaginative
and entertaining in its own way, just without any Yuri. I hadn't seen
anything like it at the time, and to this day it remains a classic
favorite. If anything, people of today could watch it as an example of
a harem series before 'harem' even became an official genre, and how
it's probably even better than most harem shows of today; I hardly ever
watch harem series anymore. I've read forums of how some people
had 'outgrown' this series, and it's been a really long time before I
finally decided to revisit it. I sat down, watched the first few
episodes of the 'Tenchi Universe' TV series, and was then reminded why
I enjoyed it and how I got into Anime. I once thought the dub was
really cheesy but it turned out to be better than I remembered it,
partly because I've been hearing worse dubs since then. It's also a
Geneon title, and there's no news of Funimation saving it as of yet.

In terms of Anime films, the first I watched was Akira, and granted
that it was a plotless, pointless, violence-porn film, I would never
recommend it as a 'first' for Anime newbies. But then I saw Ghost in
the Shell, and that was a pleasant surprise--Pachy

One more time. Shouldn't e-mail in the morning before having coffee.

My first anime  was probably Voltes V. It's an old school "super
robot" show rather than a "real robot" show like the various Gundam
series, but it's well worth watching today. Yoshiyuki Tomino actually
picked up a trick or two by working as a producer on this show that he
later applied in Zeta Gundam. Like killing off the three
brother-heroes' mother in battle within the first five episodes (won't
say exactly how she died).

It's basically a soap opera with giant robots. The alien prince
commanding the invasion forces is the son of a disgraced noble. The
Brothers Gou are searching for their missing father. These two
elements intertwine later on. The Planet Boazan is ruled by horned
humanoids while the hornless are the slave caste. The slaves are
revolting against the ruling class and establish a base on Earth to
help fight the invasion.

Another thing about the Boazanians. The ruling class dressed
suspiciously like 18th century French nobility. Apparently Toei was
maximizing the art research they did for Rose of Versailles.

Jessica Zafra once said, "If Marcos hadn't banned Voltes V, the EDSA
Revolution would never have taken place." The back-story of the
oppressed underclass overthrowing the ruling oligarchy might've hit
too close to home for the Marcoses and their cronies; the Marcos
dictatorship lit the match for the revival of the Communist Party of
the Philippines in the 1970s. Even after democracy was restored 1986,
the last five episodes were never dubbed (until the late nineties),
leaving us proto-otaku as "a generation without closure" (Zafra).

It's safe to say that Voltes V was the gateway anime of the Martial
Law Babies. The theme song is practically our second national anthem,
like the Space Battleship Yamato theme song in Japan, but without the
right-wing overtones/co-option.

Hi,

Wow, gateway anime? My first anime was probably Seimei no Kagaku:
Micro Patrol, but I could hardly call it a getaway anime since I
watched it as a kid and without some deep preference, lol. Anyway, I
would recommend it because it's a cute education where you can see
hardworking white blood cells and combative microbes, lol. Everybody
around me casts it mind back with touched feelings.

Then, in my pubescence, came Mononoke Hime on friend's VHS where I was
already aware of its origin but still wasn't attached enough to get
more. In these days I was a real bookworm, so maybe some piece of
cinematography just wasn't the right argument for finding more. Yet it
is something what I consider to be my gateway anime. Why to watch it?
No, I won't brag about its director, I am not all over Hayao Miyazaki
(Yeah, stone me for my barbarism.). What makes it worth is poetics
within battles and an awesome story about superior nature which was
beaten by brutal force of people. You don't want me to mention
obvious, good characters and soundtrack ^^.

After this followed a longer pause which was disconnected by... I
truly don't know, lol. I bet it was something common, bad, or yaoi
(nothing against). In the case of yuri, I am clueless.

Gateway into DVD collection, huh? One moment please, Amazon will sure
know. Wow, I am suprised myself. Actually, it was Utena Collection.
Why? Come on, it has everything. I am quite hardcore Utenist, so doing
listing of whys would be little risky ^^. It's an emotional roller
coaster with a wide space for your own imagination and interpretation,
it is surreal (how many really surreal series do you have a chance to
watch?), it has a... Okay, time to restrict myself. So why? Because
it's so unique and there is a reason why it is adored by yuri fans and
by anime fans in general.

And if there will be a gateway to figures, it will be one and only
Shizuru-kaichou! Ehm, is it gateway-anime-related, isn't it?

With kind regards,

Rinu, kicked a little over the traces

You are so awesome, I can't even find right words to measure your
awesomeness :D. Thanks for your hardworking hard work (sorry, blame
the phrase "terror-loving terrorists" which I just recall). Lili's
releases will force me purchase an e-book-reader some day, so I can
enjoy smutty Wildroses right next to a granny next to my seat, yay.

But seriously, thanks for your labor-intensive dry-outing during
holidays *opening Morishima's piece of work*.

My first anime I ever watched was probably the obscure dub of an old
70s anime on video, The Brave Frog. However my first gateway anime was
something I rented by accident when I was eight years old: Project
A-ko. Say what you will about it, but the mix of fabulously animated
action sequences and lesbian subtexts blew my little mind, and pretty
much sent me down the road into anime fandom.

Me being British however, it was difficult trying to get hold of
anime, as most of the popular American gateway series never actually
made it over here. The Ranma 1/2 anime, for instance, never appeared
on British shores until a couple of years ago, when MVM released the
movies on DVD. Just the movies, too. At least I got to read the manga,
in those American style volumes that were two chapters every month...

Looking back on those days, I'm wondering how otaku put up with all of that.
