Spring Anime 2017 |OT| Don't be a SukaSuka for Gacha

LWA is inconsitent, but it was still worth watching before episode 22, but the latest episode makes recommanding this anime very easy.
Also MHA was always great, just a bit slow, which isn't the worst thing ever.
This is no "FF13 gets good after 20 hours" situation (which it doesn't btw, but nvfm).
I think it was the first dub I heard for an anime that constantly used vulgar language.
I also think it is still the only anime series I have seen with a boat vs helicopter battle where
the boat manages to do an air strike on the helicopter 
I think my first anime technically would have been Little Nemo
trailer
as I think I watched that around 1992 or so thus a few years before pokemon/yugioh/sailormoon ect.
MHA is worth watching despite that pace which I personally haven't been bothered with as much. I'm not gonna say wait until x episode for the good part either, it starts off well with almost every episode having something interesting going on. I'd just say that to fully understand what the show is going for thematically you should watch the first two episodes together.
I suppose many Europeans on their 30s will have to say Heidi, Girl of the Alps (as did myself) was their first contact with Japanese animation, even if at the time they weren't conscious of were it was produced, and it didn't signify the acceptance into any subculture movement. :-D

I have yet to watch the movie, everyone tells me to stick to that and only go to the show if I really want to see more.
My main issue with season one is how long they dragged out Deku's training. I don't remember it being that long in the manga, but apparently this seems to pretty take a huge chunk of season 1. Correct me if I'm wrong.
Funnily enough, my mom watched Heidi as a child. I watched a few episodes here and there whenever it aired.
As for your second question, yes ahaha. I lived in a small town right across the border from Spain, next to Tui. That meant we had all access to basically all of your channels. I loved TVG, it was where I watched all of my anime as a kid. Shows like Eva, Detective Conan, Doraemon, and more all aired on there in the afternoon after school hours. Ahhhh sweet memories. I live in Canada now though, been here for 9 years. Do they still air anime on that channel at that time??
Yeah, that doesn't happen very often anymore. There's still Ronja the Robber's Daughter though. That one turned out pretty good.
Symphogear AXZ site updated with new key visual
Info about new voice actors and stuff via zoid9000
AXZ takes place only a few weeks after the incidents in the previous season.

Seems like there will be a special "3.5" OVA episode which takes place between events of Symphogear GX and AXZ.
First anime? Hmmm....if I'm not counting those episodes of Digimon that I watched during my childhood, probably 12 Kingdoms or Kiddy Grade since it was what my local free-to-air TV channel was showing that time.
Their then-anime timeslot belt also introduced me to Last Exile which I have a pretty fond memory of.
It's very of its era and not in a good way...

Dogtanian/Heidi/Maya the Honeybee here probably.
It is a shame you lost your previous tag, precisely well earned after watching those beautiful World Masterpiece Theater shows.
Nah, not like that anymore. It has been relegated to some sparse re-runs at the secondary channel TVG2, and I truly miss a bigger commitment on more airing time from them!
Man, regional TV stations in Spain (or 'televisiones autonómicas') were truly amazing programming those kind of shows... in particular Televisión de Galicia, as you mention, and Televisió de Catalunya (with channels like TV3 or Canal Super3). The latter one even spearheaded a Crayon Shin-chan phenomenon on the whole country!
Maya is anime!?

I WATCHED MAYA TOO!
EDIT: Man I'm getting all Misty eyes watching these. These were simpler days man, nothing touches on these gems anymore. So many beautiful shows back then, I have really fond memories of these.
YOOOO Shin-Chan was HILARIOUS and he really was a phenomenon to the point that in all of North of Portugal everyone knew of him because he was on Galicia's channel. Like, the people watching the English dub have no idea. This kid in Spain was the fucking worst lol. I remember it like it was yesterday, his "cuiño, cuiño" while dancing around with his butt out, it was hilarious. His parents swore, he swore, ahahaha. The American version sucks in comparison.It is a shame you lost your previous tag, precisely well earned after watching those beautiful World Masterpiece Theater shows.

The training specifically happens in just one episode IIRC it was episode 3 which IMO was great. Then again, I didn't read the manga.
The original one isn't even a co-production as some of others listed already (including, for example, the likes of Topo Gigio or Around the World with Willy Fog), so it is truly a Japanese production through and through.

Also, When Marnie Was There.
I completely forgot that was based off a book! It's a much better example too.
Really interesting fact, I was 100% sure it was a German/French/Belgian cartoon like Smurfs for example.

My first anime was probably Pokemon, though I didn't know it was anime. My first anime I knew was anime was Inuyasha.
Little Witch Academia Episode 22
I have to say, I did not see that reveal coming. LWA started off really slow in the first half but this second half has been markedly better. Why didn't Chariot complete the seventh word? Why do I feel it's going to come at some horrible cost? I hope 3 episodes is enough time to wrap everything up.
Alice to Zouroku Episode 9
Sana is really embracing the Alice in Wonderland imagery with her "punishment." I thought for sure that the evil organization was going to come back into the picture but at this point, it doesn't seem likely. It is nice seeing how far Sana has come though.

Same three. And Transformers, if that counts..
Sherlock Hound too. That had one or two scenes that were my first 'sakuga' experiences.
I suppose it will be the same for most Europeans.
I also remember fondly a Peter Pan series. Mmm wiki says it was directed by Takashi Nakamura, he has a quality list of works.

Do I need to bother with the OPM OVAs? Wikipedia says there's six. What are they exactly?
They're ~12 minute long side stories focused on characters other than Saitama. They're mostly comedic and not essential.
From the two or so I've seen, no.
Between this, Montana Jones and Calimero I'll be forever indebted to the Pagot Bros., even if they were more brilliant as idea-man than as producers or creators in itself.
I assume you watched Sherlock Hound in Spanish, so I'll try to hit you hard in the nostalgia with this.

We don't get shows or animation like this anymore. There's so much life to these shots.Between this, Montana Jones and Calimero I'll be forever indebted to the Pagot Bros., even if they were more brilliant as idea-man than as producers or creators in itself.

As I mentioned before, when you had three animators known for their legendary action sequences and you add the storyboards of an expert in timing the delivery, it can only mean crazy things would come out of that.
The good thing nowadays is that we can appreciate better than ever such amazing detail, thanks to immaculate high-definition transfers:

Robotech was the first anime I saw as a kid, before I knew what anime was. The first anime I bought was Vampire Hunter D on VHS.
There's certainly one thing to say about older anime, the OPs were a lot better.
