I've never seenany of these, though I've heard of precure as "that magical girl anime for little girls that adult men like for some reason" and madoka as "that cool magical girl anime that's special or some poo poo"

PreCure is insanely popular in Japan, it's one of the biggest shows of the year every year. Madoka is a dark take on the magical girl genre. Both follow the formula that Creamy Mami set down and was then refined into the pink liquid we have now by Sailor Moon and Card Captor Sakura

precure is basically girl-targeted toku, that's why they air in the same block and i can reasonably understand that the adult male fans watch both

The first anime I ever watched was voltron. I liked it because it had a giant robot made of lions. Then I remember seeing a few years later some 90s CG version of voltron and I only saw it once and it looked like poo poo

Same for me. I got a triple shot of Sailor Moon, Voltron and Power RAngers

3 pure shots of butchered Japanese shows

i feel like Escaflowne is the one infamous for gratuitous editing, to make Van the protagonist instead of Hitomi. CCS cut the gay romance and most romance period, but i don't remember the focus on Syaoran being too bad.

Look up the 'Ursula's Kiss' edit of Utena some time. At least someone realised what a terrible idea that was before it actually happened.

I really really liked speed racer as a kid so I was given a vhs tape of a speed racer movie that was just a bunch of episodes of speed racer about the giant truck thing and it ended with a weird 90s techno remix of the speed racer theme played over a buncha women dressed up as speed racer rubbing themselves and trying to dance

When I moved to pennsylvania, there was this commercial that kept playing and I can't find it but it was for a store called "Joy's Japanimation" and it was always like "COME HERE GET YOUR FAVORITE SPEED RACER AND SAILOR MOON AND OTHER JAPANIME MERCHANDISE" and I didn't really get it. Later on I remember a commercial where it was a bunch of people shouting out their favorite anime names and catchphrases and poo poo so it's like "DRAGON BALL Z!" "SAILOR MOON!" "G GUNDAM!" "YU YU HAKUSHO!" "TEEN TITANS GOOOOOOO!" and I wish I could find that commercial cause the guy shouting "TEEN TITANS GOOOOOO" was just fuckin hilarious


That place still exists, and I live closer to them now than I did in the past, so maybe KCB and I will go check it out and laugh at it or something idk. I'd have to make an excuse to head out to that city though since according to the city's own website, the only reason to go out that way is for the motherfuckin big mac museum

Joy's Japanimation's website is pretty badly done too. I guess they paid someone to redesign their website sometime in the 2000s but whoever redesigned it made it look like poo poo. It went from looking like

to looking like
