Remember when we were able to enjoy things unironically, and have friends?

No you don't.

Enjoying things ironically isn't too bad tbefahwym

...

>tfw u go back 20 years to cry and shit everywhere

I don't remember friends, but I did used to enjoy things, unironically or ironically. Nowadays, there is no enjoyment, but rather contentment.

Once a shitter, always a shitter.

>tfw introduced to cartoon porn after seeing the Anime Web Turnpike section and thinking, "what's 'Hentai'...?"

I also want to go back 20 years for one day.

But only so I can fuck my old classmates in their prime shota years.

>1996
>having to import VHS tapes of abime which may or may not be good and then mail order and pay for fansubs
>2016
>every anime is officially licensed and released in english shortly after airing or even simulcast online for a small subscription fee
What the fuck happened?

Normalfags happened.
Anywhere on the internet you can see people discussing anime. Sup Forums is still kind of in denial about it

...

Back to having to wait forever for shit to load? No thanks, I'll stay in 2016. You nostalgiafags can go.

>b-b-but m-muh charm!

No, just fuck off.

>Anime and manga are falling more and more to normalfags

Just wait until Gits and Death Note come out, people are going to be calling themselves such an OTAKU XD because they saw a movie based on a Japanese comic like they did when Iron Man came out and the MCU started despite never picking up or reading a single comic before.

I mean, there's been huge anime conventions in the west for decades. The subculture tends to see its highs and lows in the west. Things like AoT/SnK will cause sudden spikes into the mainstream but really the hobby is the same at the core.

It makes me sad to see what normalfags and moviefags did to comics and the fandom.

youtube.com/watch?v=gsNaR6FRuO0

It's not nostalgia when they never experienced it in the first place.

Explain vaporwave.

Back in the 90s, sites didn't take forever to load, with just some extremely bad exceptions.

The way they cater now to people who have never read comics bothers me most, I mean look at the state of modern Marvel, I don't even touch anything from them anymore except Moon Knight but it's clearly been fucked over by SJWs getting a stranglehold on the company. DC is better at it because they aren't making PC and SJW things much of a focus on their comics and more interested in trying to write decent stories.

Giving how the comic industry has been totally fucked by these people I don't expect to see anime and manga change. At least not for several years anyway, this may what Anno mentioned a while back about the "death of anime.", writers focusing more on cheap gimmicks rather than trying to create something of substance and depth.

What is it then?

Hipster faggotry.

>2010 was 10 years ago

>wanting to go back to a time when you couldnt just use Nyaa and subbing wasnt fast

Why?

It's those same people, I worry about when Death Note and GitS come out. They will say they are huge fans without having watched the anime, and then be taken aback when called out on it. The same people that say "just cause I haven't read the 1000 Batman comics doesn't mean I'm a Batman fan" will be saying "just cause I haven't bothered watching the dozen GitS series doesn't mean I'm not a GitS fan."

Why does 2010 feels like it was decades ago?

>2000 was 30 years ago

And what does it matter? Don't be a faggot about it user. Enjoy your Oshii hipster trash and let them enjoy their Johanson trash.

I remember discovering hentai and searching for it as hentay and gentai. Damn those were good old days.

GitS it's already in normalfag spectrum, as Akira and all those d33p movies that normalfags use to start a d33p conversation.

>1997 was 20 years ago
What have you been doing with your life so far other than masturbating to anime?

Shitposting

...

I just hope people with their Johanson trash don't drown out all discussion everywhere.

I only read Alan Moore and a little bit of Warren Ellis. I couldn't care less about comics otherwise, for all the obvious reasons. Fight me.

Not to mention manga doesn't have the obsessive collector value American comics does and the stories are nice and self contained with good continuity. I hate how every few weeks or so every title is basically reverted back to #1 so that they can try and get easy money from people who think it'll be valuable in the future.

>gotlurk domain got taken by a jap with erectile dysfunction
kek

It won't help as long as your mind isn't reset as well. Otherwise it will just be your current self in an environment of the past. Would still do it though

rmvb > any other shitty format

Do you have any idea how much anime I can fit in a single CD?

The collector thing isn't really a thing anymore. The reason a company would revert to a new number #1 is because casual readers see #1 as a good jumping on point and they always sell better. Later issues always see a drop off like episodes always see a fall in ratings after a few episodes. It's similar to the recent anime trend of instead of episode 13 or episode 27, you have 2nd series episode 1.

Nope, I hate rewinding betamax tapes before returning to the shop

>introduced to cartoon porn
Kazaa search results master race

New sinceirty age is upon us so you can have problematic taste again.

I was born

Not enough

If I could go back 20 years, I'd stop my parents from meeting, just to see what'll happen to me.

hey kid, wanna /ss/

AVSQ01.DAT

Masturbating to manga and visual novels. And sometimes just seiyuus voices.

>you will never go back to the time where it took an entire night to download a single anime episode from eDonkey or some other shitty p2p program only to open it in the morning and see it's some random porn from the 80s

>dude wasn't it great having less information, less content at a lesser quality and eye-rape graphic design everywhere?

I will never forget that EVA × Sailor Moon doujinshi as my first hentai fap

It was a more innocent time, and we weren't such sad jaded fucks

>no deviantart 20 years ago
Where did you get your fanarts, grandpas?

I sometimes regret fapping in an half-assed way just because I'm bored.

I remember the good old days where I kept getting virusus because I was searching for hentai and always going for the untrusty shit. Being 16 was great, want to go back to 2007.

Going back 20 would be too much though, we only got DSL in like 2003. No point in going to the age before the Internet.

>using deviantart

>he didn't IM his friends while watching VHS tapes of incredibly meh tier anime to then go to your overweight girlfriends house to watch her play FF7 and get insecure about whether or not you could ever be as hot as Sephiroth only to then resume playing metroid fusion on your GBA under a lamp or reading light because maybe one day Nintendo will figure out how to make the screen glow like a plasma TV but it's ok because you were too distracted watching fansubbed episodes of magical knight rayearth and Zoids on toonami.

How does it feel to know that people of your age are going to become Chrismas cakes next year?

It was an innocent, happy time for everyone. We were just starting to discover this internet thing and basically having fun with it every day.

Now we are simply sad, bitter faggots that hate almost everything about the internet, but can't leave since we have nowhere else to go.

Also back then normalfags made up like 5% of the internet, instead of 90% like they do today.

Tumblr is better, but dA is the oldest social network I know.

Angelfire or shrine sites

Don't you mean a wizard? I'm almost there, just 9 more months.

...

It's impossible for children today to understand what the internet was like before literally every site was a scam to sell you something or steal your personal information. They've been conditioned to think those things are normal.

Wizard powers are only 5 years off famalam.

I read way more manga back then instead of watching anime. Our inet was turbo shit and I had to pre-buffer stream episodes for several hours to watch them (with them I mean 1 fucking single episode) without lag. Jesus.

On a painful path of self-improvement. Barely fapping to anime girls or watching chinese cartoons because of a lack of energyx even though I want to.

I'm like Shinji except even after acknowledging my problems I still either don't want to or can't figure out how to fix them.

Maybe some people just aren't cut out tk be functional human beings.

>mom bought a Sailors Moon VCD for me
>it's actually random hentai
>mom told me must not watch that thing again
>I'm 27 now
>still watching it
I'm sorry, mom. I should follow your advice.

It still not ever turn like comics did. Anime and manga will always will be hobby for losers and nothing will never chance

>this may what Anno mentioned a while back about the "death of anime.", writers focusing more on cheap gimmicks rather than trying to create something of substance and depth.
Both him and Miyazaki have acknowledged this problem since at least the early 90s. It's one of the reasons for Eva's conception. Everything was become the same cycle of mindless action or drama with cute girls and your choice of genres being [scifi|mecha|mahou shoujo] since it's what sold. It's just become more and more of a problem as time goes on and the process is optimized.

>abime
Any Frenchfags here to appreciate the irony?

I made Love hina fansite with notepad

Guess thats an accomplishment, however everyone made Love Hina fansite with geocities RIP

Remember this?

What went wrong?

I can relate to this.

Always Facebook. Every shit that has ever happened on the internet was always directly or indirectly caused by this shithole and its billions of retarded attention whore users.

>taking away star system in favour of shitty like/dislike system
>commercialization of the entire platform
>jews

Social media and Google.

Smosh is an incurable cancer, that's what.

;_;

Google. Corporations. The birth of viral marketing.

>today will be 20 years ago in 20 years

Social media. Facebook/Myspace/etc.

I miss the comfy AOL messengers

This entire post was literally my friends entire childhood. He's still with his overweight girlfriend who spazzes out about FF7 too. I was the guy who played Lunar 2 and Guardians Crusade tho

>was watching animu all day every day
I miss those days.

Where did it all go wrong?

I want to go back to 20 years ago and have it repeat indefinitely Groundhog Day style.

...

>2003
>Oh man I wonder if I can get some cool digimon picures.
>I know! Google images can help me find some

The rest is history.

>you will never go back to the times when IRC was considered as an easy and normal way of communication instead of being treated like some SUPA HACKA sekrit club shit it is nowadays

My parents haven't kicked me out yet, so I still get to spend all day watching anime.
What advice do you have for me other than don't blog on Sup Forums?

Blockbuster's Anime section introduced me to Plastic Little.

get a job and move out, watch anime during breaks

Find the will to change. I'm in the same position and hate myself for it.

Shit, I want to go back to 2007 too. Watching episodes in shit quality on YouTube, occasionally lurking here but being too scared to post, looking for shit to fap to on Livejournal and fanfiction.net. Still feeling wonder and excitement. Those were good, innocent days.

Build up savings for few years (minimum wage $9/h + 40hr/w)

Move out and buy a house.

9 * 40 * 50 (52 weeks, but lets say offdays) = $18k - 20% tax = 14.4K

x 4 years = 57K. Enough to buy a house yourself. Then work at your own pace to pay bit of property tax/repair and food. Otherwise you're a freeman.

What's Blockbuster?

>occasionally lurking here but being too scared to post
Reminds me of when I started lurking, damn, time sure flies.
