You know If you lived in the arab world as a kid in the nineties and regularly watched your TV you would catch anime by the shitload.

Zeether posted:Nelvana dubbed Cardcaptor Sakura, not 4Kids. Also if it was confusing it's because they basically cut a ton of stuff from it when they dubbed it or something like that. Yeah, they had to cut the fact that everyone was gay for one another (Tomoyo/Madison for Sakura, Touya/Tori and Yukito/Julian were together, Sakura's mom and Tomoyo's mom were together in high school). Cutting the poo poo out of anime was par for the course back then, it's why Yu-Gi-Oh! was missing the entire first season, Sailors Uranus and Neptune were "cousins" instead of lovers, Dragon Ball had foamy water and milk in mugs instead of beer, etc. I'm just used to 4Kids ruining anime, I guess. We DID get the International Channel on cable back in the 90's, and every Saturday was "Anime Saturday", where they'd show uncut anime. I watched "Earthian" that way, and got banned from watching "Cowboy Bebop" by my dad because of the episode with the transgendered chick. I also remember when Suncoast opened and all of us middle school weeaboos were super-excited because they sold anime and anime-related stuff... this was back before ANY bookstore had a manga section, too. If a store carried it, it was crammed into the fantasy/sci-fi section. Also, it came out in 2000, but I'm still counting it: that loving "Dungeons and Dragons" movie. We had such high hopes for it too. My dad and I went on opening night, and by halfway through the movie, all us nerds had congregated to the middle of the theater and were sperging the gently caress out, loudly, about how poo poo this movie was.

I don't remember the ending, I ended up getting really bored after she had to go catch MORE cards and quit watching. You mean Eriol, the English boy who was the reincarnation of Clow Reed. He came to Tomoeda to ensure that Sakura transformed all the cards properly and became the world's most powerful magician. Eriol didn't want to be the ultimate anything; that was the whole point of passing the cards on to Sakura.

It's best not to tell anyone you like anything, ever. And on a semi-related note, I will now present a timeline of all the pencil cases that were trendy at my school in the late 90s-early 2000s   It's like you have a packet of crisps! But no! It's a pencil case! They also did ones that were meant to look like a giant can of coke or a tube of fruit pastilles.  A toy you can actually get away with having on your desk because look Miss, it's a pencil case! Neener neener!  What, you have an animal pencil case? You're such a baby! All the popular girls are using pink fluffy ones now!  For some reason these were really popular even though they are pretty much the nerdiest pencil case ever. I actually begged my parents to get me one for my birthday. Because look it has a separate elastic bit for each individual pen and even for the rubber and you just don't understand, I neeeeeeed one, to stop my pencils rustling about or something! And then pencil cases just suddenly stopped being cool and you had to carry your pens in your blazer pocket or else you were a boffin

The Crayola stamping markers: fun for 6 minutes until your teacher handed you a coloring sheet and you had to use your stamp markers to color it, which distorts the stamps into never working right ever again. Oh, and your friends with poor parents would steal your markers to play with the novelty themselves but DAMMIT LEVI STOP PRESSING DOWN SO HARD THIS IS WHY YOUR STUFF IS ALWAYS BROKEN LEAVE MINE ALONE, THIS IS WHY I GLUED YOUR FOLDER SHUT WHEN YOU WERE IN THE POTTY~~~ The Mr. Sketch scented markers: once again, fun was had until you got a coloring sheet that required some black spots, and then you got a headache from all that goddamn black licorice scent. I think I caused some minor brain damage to myself at the tender age of 6 from these things. Reflecting upon this, I can't recall any of my friends trying to steal these things and I now know why. The lovely art set: get these every Christmas from a well-meaning much older cousin that knows nothing about you except your fondness for doodling. Alternate this with the stationery kit with stickers, envelopes, and postcards, allowing me to mail neon "Bon Voyage" cards to my cousin Ricky because the colors looked cool. For the trifecta of budding artists, get a "How to Draw _____" book by some guy that if he really knew how to draw wouldn't be selling "How to Draw" books. 1999: the ascent of gel pens. Cue me covering my hand and arm in gel pen tattoo sleeves and pissing my parents off monthly up until my high school days in 2006.

You know what I don't miss from the 90's? Terrible YA books! Sure there was Goosebumps and R.L. Stine and all of the cool "scary" books. But all of the others were the same 'sounds cool but really were to teach you an important lesson. "Oh know! There's an evil fortune teller living down the hall! Oh wait, she's really a kind lonely old woman who just needs a friend". "Eww, Dad's making us eat gross stuff for breakfast! Oh wait, he's really just trying to make us eat health and live active lifestyles." "Aliens kidnapped us! Oh wait, they just want to teach us how important it is to be kind to each other and that war is bad." Another thing I noticed? If the main character is a boy his best friend/dog will probably die. If the main character is a girl she'll get her first period. Every time! I read so many terrible books when I was young.

Those were extremely popular in my area around 1990. Desperate for something to read one night a couple of years ago, I pulled one off the shelf. Yikes, it was awful. Also when working in a middle school, someone left Whatever Happened to Janie? (sequel to The Face on the Milk Carton) on the shelf in the room I occupied. Boredom also led me to pick that up and spend my free time finishing it as form of punishment for starting it.

magic pantaloons posted:Discussing 90's Young Adult novels and no Baby-Sitters Club? My friends and I must have been proto-hipsters thinking Babysitters Club to be too mainstream. Because for us it was AAAAAALLL about this stupid series:    What you're seeing above is essentially the plot arc of the whole series. From my fuzzy memory, the idea was that there were these four BFFs in Rhode Island and one of them had to travel to Kansas for a month for some reason, so they became pen-pals and blah. Then the friend comes back -- and immediately her family has to go back to Kansas. To keep the series going, you see. The thin premise lasted for about seven books before they started solving mysteries and meeting aliens and poo poo.

I remember at one point at least 6 kids in my class had a Pepsi can one though. As for children's series with a ridiculously large number of books, I present:  The Sleepover Club! Omg let's all sleepover at each other's houses and have girly heart to hearts! Later they made them into an Australian TV series and every character seemed to turn up on Neighbours 2 years later. I was proper jealous of the girls though because sleepovers for me generally involved being used as a make-up guinea pig, getting told off for waking up your entire family with your manic giggling, and being grumpy and headachey for the rest of the weekend because you were exhausted. Whereas the sleepover club slept over at the museum and discovered all this poo poo and all that jazz. And Animal Ark.  These books were so lame. The plot of every single one was exactly the same- the main character finds an animal in distress, saves it (with a little help from her vet dad). The animal never dies, with the exception of the spin off series with ghost animals  where they are already dead

Man, look at all you punkasses with your namby pamby girl books and animal hoohah. Know what I had? Motherfuckin' time traveling tree houses and dinosaurs and pirates and ninjas and historical poo poo. What now, chumps?  Now that I think about it, these books probably are at least partly responsible for my interest in history. And apparently the lady's still writing them? I shudder to think of how many there must be by now. There are only so many ways you can reference a time of day.

TunaSpleen posted:1999: the ascent of gel pens. Cue me covering my hand and arm in gel pen tattoo sleeves and pissing my parents off monthly up until my high school days in 2006. Oh god these! They were so expensive too, like £1.35 each or £10 for a set of 10 different ones. Which is loads when you only get £5 pocket money! My teacher actually banned us from writing in them, mainly because she didn't want to have to read assignments written in banana yellow, but probably also because the sickly smell would be overpowering. I can still remember how most of them smelled. So people would just use them to colour in maps and things, which took ages and ran all the ink out. Then someone came up with a way to make it look like there was more ink in them (not sure what the point in that was), by taking it apart and sucking the ink halfway back up the tube. I did it once and got a mouthful of pale blue ink  madlilnerd posted:Animal Ark Wow I had forgotten about this series. They really were the most tedious thing, the story was exactly the same every time. I think they did a TV series of it too for a little while. But I really loved the Sleepover Club TV series for some reason, even though again it was always the same story...someone is upset! or jealous! or moving away! Let's have a sleepover and put aside our differences! Friends forever! I guess because their sleepovers never ended up with someone's dad coming in at 2am and yelling at them to be quiet, or everyone covering the first person to fall asleep with food, or somebody crying, and having to go home the next day with a headache and feeling sick because you'd been up all night eating sugar ... sleepovers sucked
