Before there was Toonami there was Scifi channel airing anime movies and Robotech. Who knew what you'd get. Maybe an art film. Maybe a school comedy. Maybe a dude's head exploding in a 20 second blood geyser.

I think folks also underestimate just how culturally sheltered or silo'ed people were before the internet blew up. People who hated anime had of course barely seen any and were just going on sensationalized second-hand impressions. This fell away when more anime slowly got easier and easier to see.

Genuinely impossible to make people understand how much most the United States in the 90s hated and looked down on anime if they didn't live through it.

There is 90s anime discourse happening here tonight. I feel like some aren't quite old enough to have experienced being a fan in the 90s. People keep referencing Toonami, but I'm pretty sure Sailor Moon first aired on CN in 1999. There's several years before that where anime was for the weirdos.

I have yet to read any positive experiences coming out of AX from this past week (outside of the horny LADS booth). Maybe I'm just getting older and becoming out of touch, but anime cons just aren't the same anymore. Not to mention the cost of them have insanely skyrocketed.

Over the past few days I have donated blood (and blacked out while doing it), saved a dog from getting hit by a car, and returned said dog to its rightful owner. I think I deserve some quality champagne.
