>>3713865In Canada was that we didn't have a dedicated anime channel or a good place on TV to watch anime, the most we got when I was young was reruns of Dragon Ball and 2-3 random shonens.
In the early 2000s I think I got exposed to my first AMV while looking for a power metal song, it was a Wolf's Rain AMV and I thought it looked interesting so I looked it up and found a really fucking bad 2004 era stream with subtitles. At the time, Wolf's Rain was the coolest thing ever. It was my first anime that wasn't Dragon Ball or Saint Seiya reruns, and prompted me to actually look through my father's massive 80s and 90s anime collection.
Looking back I get really bored with the middle part of the show but the finale makes up for everything.
The soundtrack's still one of my favourites.
