You watched alot of oddball anime that I have never heard of. The only one on your list I even know about is Ginga Nagareboshi Gin.
What, you never heard of POKÉMON or SAILOR MOON?Well, there was this huge wave of dubbed anime in Sweden during the 80's, but it died out just in time for the 90s, which could explain why we grew up with so dissimilar shows. I even saw an
anime adaption of the childhood of historical figure
Hellen Keller, and I still cry every time I watch it.
That Sonic anime you speak of, what that that one goofy movie in which they are supposed to rescue a
furry princess? Because Sonic X is the only other Sonic anime there is, and that one's a little too new to be spoken of as something you "grew up with"... though that's only my five cents.
