The very very first anime i remember watching on TV as a kid
(back when dinosaurs still walked the earth..) was Mazinger Z (a.k.a Tranzor Z in da U.S), based on the manga from the master Go Nagai.
I also remember that every single episode had the exact same structure
(i learned much later that this was normal for any japanese stuff made for the younger viewers), like :
_ "Oh, let's all have a picnic!"
_ "Oh yeah! good idea!"
_ "Oh, this sandwich is so good!"
_ "Wait, what is this ??"
_ "Aaaah! it's one of those evil giant robot monsters atacking us!!!"
_ "Aaaaa! we're doomed!"
_ "No! look, it's... Mazinger Z!"
_ "Ahah! leave it all to me. i'll destroy this evil robot! Come here, you fool!"
SLASH! BOOM! WIZZZZZ! ROCKET PUNCH! BLAM! CRUNCH!_ "Ahah! victory is mine!!!"
_ "Oooh, thank you Mazinger Z..."
...
Still, as a kid, i was totally hooked on that shit!
