It's ridiculous how intimidating those stupid, mouthed, gun sounds wonderful up being as the stores went along. Great anime with not at all annoying CG, even if it is noticable at times.
As to the question in the OP, I started with all the stuff find in the back of Blockbuster. I think that wound up being stuff like Ninja Scroll and Akira. The first anime I ever imported were some Kodomo No Omocha bootlegs. I think my first anime VHS was Ghost in the Shell. God, I remember dropping like $150 on a Record of Lodoss Was box set from a Suncoast way back when. Same place I picked up my first anime DVD, Perfect Blue.
I haven't had a lot of time for anime as of late. Before binging Inuyashiki, I think the last anime I completed was the second season of Attack on Titan or Mob Psycho 100. I caught those around the same time.
