If you’re into anime, then chances are you can remember the first movie or TV show that got you hooked on the medium; your “gateway drug”, if you will. For some, it might be TV shows like DragonBall Z<\/strong> or One Piece<\/strong>, others perhaps a specific movie like Ghost in the Shell<\/strong> or Akira<\/strong> (indeed, I had to really go back through the memory archives to determine whether Akira was the first one for me; it was definitely incredibly early in my life). For me, however, the very earliest memory I have of watching anime was the incredible video game adaptation, Street Fighter II: The Animated Movie<\/strong>, released in 1994.<\/p>\n

I did, however, dabble in Street Fighter II’: Special Champion Edition<\/a><\/strong> on the Mega Drive. I was terrible at it, naturally, since I was still in single figures at the time, but I really enjoyed playing as Ryu or Ken and just spamming the ‘Hadoken’ move non-stop (which still wasn’t quite enough to win most of the time, granted).<\/p>\n
