>>292155184Vic Micnogna directed this ad for Sakuracon in Seattle back in the mid 2000's. I enjoyed old Sakuracon where they had free autographs, the major figure makers like goodsmile and kotobukiya all had booths selling figures at retail price. It was laid back and the lgtbbq gang and ADA mafia haven't tookover the hobby yet.Plus there was a decent amount of cosplay chick hookups that weekend.
>>292155500The entire con scene throughout NA changed around 2013.
and gay men!
Reminder that they couldn't get an authentic japanese guy to say "ikimasu" properly.
J-raaaawwwwwkkkkk

>>292155462You have no idea how glad I am that Visual-Kei stuff is over
I miss early 2000s to 2012ish anime culture but I dont miss that time period on a personal basis to want to go back.Cellphones giving instant access to retards really messed up the internet though.-posted from my iphone

>>292157916For me was the late 90s to early 2000s, we used to record episodes straight from the tv and then share stuff around, if you had friends or relatives on the city they would have video rental shops with more content diversity instead of the shit you would find in your small town and most of the time city shops would have OVAs, more than once I remember going with this friend to his cousin house with our fucking VCRs like a pair of fucking retards riding the bus, we have to take two buses just to get there and then there was the rental money, from the top of my head we had Project AKO, Ninja Scroll, Goku Midnight Eye all of them where in Spanish from Spain. Shit was cash tell you that much.
The place where you grew up no longer exists
Please, God, take me back.
>>292158369I moved too much to have a "place I grew up" so anime is the place I grew up and it still exists.
>>292157916Same. I think some remnants of it still managed to linger on until 2016, but the old otaku culture pretty much died when social media and smartphones basically highlighted anime to normalfaggots. i wish I could experience that shit as the 30 year old I am now or a younger adult rather than only hearing about it as a kid and teenager. Shooting the shit with people about their favorite shows to break the ice, those VA public question forums, getting autographs and the possiblity to get cosplay poon (yes even the mid cosplay poon) sound like heaven to me. Not to mention seeing people having fun and just enjoying the anime and manga mediums in a passionate way without the gay social hierarchy bullshit that normalfags ascribe to every aspect of their life is just relieving.
You still don't get it
