Is it weird to be insecure you didn't discover internet anime, fansubs and NGE earlier? I was here for Haruhi in 2006, well not on /a/ but watched it in 2006. I also bought a few volumes of seinen manga a few years before. And I started with anime on vhs in the 90s. But like. I wish I were here during peak azumanga daioh days

>>288024773It doesn't matter when you started as long as you learn the history and roots before trying to sound wise about the things you like.
>>288024924Well I started in 1997 though. Before toonami.
>humble braggingFuck off.
>>288024924anons only say this because anybody who came here before 2014 left and you all had to study the archive to be able to larp as oldfags
>>288024773NGE is mid at best so no you shouldn't be insecure
>>288024773Being insecure about it is a bit weird, but it's reasonable to feel sad you missed out on stuff you could've been there for.
I wish I had gotten into anime way earlier. It took me too long to realize that all of Western culture is now gay crap
>>288026712OK you sound like someone who just started watching a few years ago and not very much. Even on adult swim samurai champloo explained saikaku ihara.
>>288026305Nge is bad. But rei is my waifu and I'm obsessed with her. I discovered her so late.
Ii
>>288024773>Return to shota>Have Rei literally be your mommy>Have all your problems just melt awayI can't think of anything more comforting.
>>288024773I was on 4chan from the eternal summer of 07 but I never went beyond a cursory passing tolerance of anime until many years later.
>>288028588imagine laying in her lap
>>288028646Or having her pet your head and say you're a good boy as you drift off to sleep.
>>288028671imagine the smell
>>288024773Have you made this thread before?
>>288024773I wish i never discovered NGE at all. That midwit shit rotted my brain. You people are too much.
