stop
I wanted to forget

>avi
To this day
Nightmares

I don't have to remember it. I can just swing by the chink downloading scene and still see rmvb doing well.

>[动漫][Boku no Pico][高清][Blu-Ray 1080p].rmvb

>people still encode in xvid

Awesome 60 MB encoding.

...

>mfw it took me days to download 95 MB .rmvb files of Evangelion episodes off of Kazaa on my 56k modem

Ah, it brings back memories.

I've still got plenty of anime in glorious .rmvb format that I haven't yet gotten around to replacing, like CCS, Sailor Moon and a bunch of DBZ movies.

Good times.

I still have ab ogm copy of the ghost in the shell movie

fucking kazaa man

>.rmvb
Fuck that and the million other codec formats that became obsolete fast.

Why would anyone use avi over mkv?

shit, i still have burned CDs of Love Hina from when that shit was new. I wonder if they even still work?

>CDs
What is that?

>Hi10bit was half a decade ago

you had to be there to understand.
pre-AVC encoding, xvid was luxury. and thank god it killed divX.

>smaller file sizes
>pretty much every player could run it fine

I still don't understand why there was drama.

wow, all the way back to 2003.

>downloading anime
>watching an anime series more that one time

Streaming is a totally new world, user. I don't remember any streaming site. Direct download or nothing.
Hell, I even bought anime

I still haven't seen ranma 1/2 because the first few times I searched for it I could only find .rmvb encodes, then I just kinda forgot about it
