I don't remember a ton of the film but the word "blobbery" comes to mind and just remember it being weird in a few different ways. I'm not sure if I saw it or Pokemon first but it was definitely one of the first anime I saw.
I think I saw something of it too. First anime I took notice of and digged to some extent was Ghost in a shell. Pokemon and Dragonball Z turned me off anime. I dislike pretty much everything about them. Saw an anime movie with a talking wolf once, totally forgot most of it including the title , except that i liked it. Besides that I only enjoyed the Avatar series and Howls moving castle. Not a fan of the typical drawing style esp the faces and hair.
