Fortunately crunchyroll history goes all the way back so I can see how I watched kill la kill, then attack on Titan, then marathoned ttgl and madoka, and then spent like a month watching all of monogatari

i'm scared of finishing mai-hime tomorrow because i'm in a grey zone where i know i'm going to have mixed feelings on it just for how much i haven't connected with the central relationship but i also have no idea if it's going to handle miyuki's thing in a way that i'll like or a way that'll just kinda sour my feelings on a lot of the show which is weird when it gave my two favorite characters a scene that kind of owns but idk. i'll definitely never forget mai-hime for how conflicted it's made me feel even when it does things i like because it seems to always constantly cycle between interesting scenes and bad ones. also it just really drags out the mikoto stuff at the end way too long not doing that much with it and i'm not a fan of that considering how interesting of a character she is The Colonel fucked around with this message at 07:13 on Jul 14, 2020 |

When you say seasonal does that mean you watched it as it aired? Or just watched the whole season in one go? Former would be Konosuba S2. Latter FMA Brotherhood. Both in 2017.

Being raised in white suburbia, USA, I had basically no access to non-dubs pre-2000, but I watched Tekkaman Blade (Teknoman), Samurai Troopers (Ronin Warriors), and Escaflowne as they were airing here. I was able to snag VHS Hong Kong sub rips of the DBZ movies off eBay in the late '90s, and I had friends who ran the Otakon AMV competition for late 90's, so I got copy rips of all the submitted videos.

I though the Watamote manga was gonna end once she graduated. Then I saw it’s getting official plushies & the physical volumes are selling really well so now I don’t know what to think I hope it continues but i’ll understand if the authors want to wrap it up

I was in a college anime club in the late 90s. I remember watching CCS and Tenshi ni Narumon (among others), and they were probably seasonal at the time. Can't remember very many others.

people posting about their first experiences with anime reminded me of this chestnut from back in the day Back in I wanna say 1999 or 2000, on a very basic craigslist-esque site called Bartertown where people traded MTG cards and warhammer figures, I traded a bunch of shittily-painted warhammer fantasy figures for a bunch of "random" anime VHS tapes and playstation 1 games. I got Alundra, Thousand Arms, Legend of Legaia, and a couple other games in the trade, as well as VHS tapes of Tenchi Muyo, Ranma 1/2, an anime with busty cop ladies with a very 80s or 90s aesthetic that iirc started with a bunch of people storming the precinct and brutally mercing a bunch of people? I think that was the one, I may be conflating that with a different series though. And a tape of some old mech anime with women pilots and the biggest drat thighs on a mech suits I've ever seen. and lastly a bootleg VHS tape of some sailor moon hentai that just had "SAILOR MOON" scrawled on it that I gave to my sister because she was super into sailor moon and I thought she might want it. Mom was not happy with the guy sending porn to children, and also wasn't too thrilled by the lady cop one that had people getting brutally murdered on screen, so I had to go through her whenever I wanted to trade with people on Bartertown after that. Oh and he also included the entirety of the Gargoyles cartoon in gloriously lovely 144p on over four dozen CDRs, which, like, okay sure why not I hope you have enjoyed my story

Kaiser Mazoku posted:I've watched the Watamote anime at least four times, first time by myself and the others with different people. I've been meaning to check out the manga because I keep hearing about how she gets better and I really want to see that. you have no idea. this is one of the more recent chapter's character relationship chart  don't actually read the text I guess if you don't want to "spoil" things but there's quite a lot more characters than anime-era watamote, and almost all of the main ones are great.

Usually, if the anime is based off a manga, I just read the manga version because it's a lot quicker, unless the anime is better. If it's an anime original, then I watch it.

I was born a few months before Evangelion first aired, so the earliest exposure to anime was toonami in 2002.

I watched toonami and stuff but didn't really get started until I found a blogspot with terrible quality rmvbs that I could download on my 56k connection. This is how I watched flcl, the original Hellsing, Afro Samurai and GaoGaiGar, and probably a bunch of other series I don't remember.

I watched a ton of fansubbed anime on VHS and ultra lossy DivX video on burned CDs between 1999 and 2003. Eva, Slayers, Escaflowne, Akira, Tenchi Muyo, too many movies and OVAs to list. Then I forgot to watch anime for 10 years. In early 2013 I suddenly had a lot of free time, lurked ADTRW and the wiki to see what folks liked, and watched a bunch of great shows like Chihayafuru and Hyouka and Kino no Tabi (2003). I think the first shows I was ever able to follow week by week as they aired were Chihayafuru S2, Tamako Market, Initial D 5th Stage, and The Devil is a Part-Timer. I get the years things came out all confused though, because at the same time I was catching up on tons of old stuff using the same streaming site.

hell, the later parts of the watamote manga even improve on some characters who didn't get a ton of development in the anime. like, yuu gets stuff that makes her relationship with tomoko feel like it has a stronger back and forth and they actually kind of understand how each other think a bit better

My first exposure to anime was stuff like Voltron in the mid-90s that I was too young to know or care about the origins of beyond "it's the robot cartoon". A few years later I caught a few random episodes of things here and there on Toonami, but was mostly too intimidated to dive in further, blindly assuming that every anime had thousands of episodes. Then I ended up catching both of Cowboy Bebop's two-parters during a marathon on Adult Swim in mid-2002, lacking any context and still assuming that they were just parts of a far longer saga, and was immediately hooked either way. At that point I started watching anything I could get my hands on, whether it was on Cartoon Network or on DVD or on Newtype USA sampler discs or whatever I could manage to find on the early-2000s internet. I remember somebody circa 2003 telling me I had to check out Naruto because it was totally going to be the next big thing, so I ended up downloading fansubs of what was available at the time and trying for a while to get into that before realizing I didn't care as much as I was supposed to. I think I still have the CDs I burned them onto due to lack of hard drive space at the time. Fell out of things throughout the late 2000s but got back into it gradually last decade, thanks mainly to watching a lot of shows as a couples activity in the mid-2010s when my partner and I were long-distance. Also was fun and embarrassing to revisit shows I'd watched a bunch of in middle school that turned out to be completely terrible, like Full Metal Panic and Love Hina. Amazing how much easier it is to maintain an interest in media when you can actually find ones that you enjoy. First seasonal anime I watched weekly was probably Panty & Stocking in 2010, just because some friends on IRC were also watching it. Kept up with a few other seasonal shows after that, like the Durarara sequels and Owarimonogatari, but didn't get seriously into paying attention to seasonal anime until winter 2016 when Erased and Konosuba were airing. And now here I am... esselfortium fucked around with this message at 17:04 on Jul 14, 2020 |

I didn't get them when they were out and then saw what Aniplex wanted for their (Admittedly fancy) box set and just didn't have a couple hundred bucks to throw at it.

Jose posted:last time i asked in here for something to watch i got recommended acca 13 which i really liked. Is there anything like it on crunchyroll or at least a good action series not based on a manga i've probably read? If you liked acca 13, you might want to check out Ristorante Paradiso and House of Five Leaves. they're both based on works by the same person who wrote acca, though the stories and settings have nothing to do with each other.

Growing up in a family of nerds, and being a millennial, my first exposure to anime was Pokemon. Other than that, I really didn't watch a whole lot outside of the occasional episode of Yu-Gi-Oh, thanks to my brother's obsession with it at the time. My older sister was into stuff on Adult Swim and Toonami, and her favorite shows were Yu Yu Hakusho and Inuyasha, although she eventually grew out of both shows, and anime in general. I was also familiar with both the original Dragon Ball and Z, though in the latter case I just played the games. The only anime I remember seeing on Adult Swim before I really got into it was Evangelion, and that was the episode that introduced Asuka, and before poo poo went down. The first real anime I really got into was Naruto. As a preteen, it was the best poo poo in the world, and compared to other anime dubs at the time, didn't cut out a lot of the violence, or change the story, even keeping in a lot of the blood. However, looking back at it now just makes me feel sad, just to be reminded of how lovely it got after the time skip. I think reading the entirety of Naruto, and seeing how much it's fallen, is part of the reason why I like Inuyasha much more in comparison, even if the latter is pretty repetitive. Eventually, once I got older, I started to get into a lot of the older series available, and got into Osamu Tezuka and Go Nagai especially. I've also become a big fan of the mecha genre, probably because at its core, it's a genre where ordinary people are able to overcome extraordinary odds. I also slowed down on watching anime adaptations , and eventually decided to just read the original manga when available, because I don't have to invest as much time into it.

Think my first exposure was catching like 2 minutes worth of Akira when I was really young and wondering what the hell it was for a few years. Next exposure being a VHS a cousin recorded the Street Fighter II movie and the first Dragonball movie on.

My first exposure was late 90's in primary school having an older kid describe episodes of Eva to me on the schoolbus, complete with his sketches of what each Angel/Eva looked like. It wasn't until years later when I watched it myself that I had an inkling of what he was going on about.
