Just found this thread and it's definitely in my wheelhouse.Skypie posted:The best role Tiffany Grant ever had was in Burn Up as the tech head whose laptop gets blasted and she opens fire on the bad guys while screaming "arrrrggghhh HAVE ANOTHER LEAD ENEMA, SLIME BALLS!!" Funny how these things stick in the mind. I think it's a different character who said it but the one I recall is "Payback is a bitch AND SO AM I!!!" ---- Also, I wonder how much the particular series we remember from our adolescence was driven by local communities like university anime clubs and Direct Connect servers at LAN parties. File sharing was taking off, but a lot of people were still using 56K modems or really bad ADSL lines, if we had even known where to go to download fansub releases. I watched a couple of series with no audio (that doesn't really matter right, it's JP audio with subtitles!) until this new player called VLC got ported to Mac. It seemed like Excel Saga was huge when I was in the university computer club (2002-2005.) Maybe because it was the only "comedy" series that we knew of until Azumanga came out? I had a buddy who was really into Trigun and customised his Mac with all the cast of characters. Read Or Die TV was a critical bust with that weird twist about trying to create a Victorian steampunk world, I barely remember what the deal with that was. Of course a bunch of mostly forgettable harem anime but I have a soft spot for Vandread, the weird space mecha show about men and women from warring planets. Of course I haven't watched it for 20 years so it might be awful.
