ITT We are normies
GO
Normie
This is actually hardcore at this point.
I was having conversations with 30+ anime fans who didn't even watch Toonami. Started watching anime in the early mid 2010s. And now they think they are vets.
Sorry. The og anime guys who posted here in the early 2000s. All gone
We aren’t in 2006 anymore.
I started on [Adult Swim], I didn't even know what "Toonami" was and I hated most of the anime on it anyway. I started watching Naruto online. I always hated DB/Z
That's the point, anon. Normies are so nostalgia-driven, it's pathetic.
I'm nostalgia drive.
I watched gaogaigar and hale + guu and shit back then
I'm rewatching Yugioh Season 0 cause I've watch Daria to many times. I'm starting to quote the eps.
Normalfags* mostly watch whatever’s currently on Netflix or hyped around their school or by the latest youtuber. Not toonami.
tenchi muyo is pretty good so far.
normalfags
We called them normies for years on Anon Babble anon.
not toonami
Back when I was in highschool and middle school it was all the rage. This was the days of Dish and direct TV
You = dumb faggot.
Lolicons are all pedophiles
I only remember like Naruto, Gash bell, and Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo. 4kids also had Yugioh and One piece censored to hell only the rap was good
30 year old post aot fan?
I honestly dont remember
OK so what? Get over it.
Anime been mainstream since like 1995.
More like 1996, most of us were kids or not even alive when anime was actually underground.
But certain anime was underground. Subbed anime didn't really appear on TV. And unlicensed shows? How else were you going to get it? Bit torrent lol

Yes and no, here in the south you were DEF an outcast back in the 90s and early 2ks. Anime didn't get popular till around Myspace days then all the tards had to start writing fan fiction about Bleach, Naruto, X-Men and more and it was awful.
Japanimation.
A friend of mine is in his 40s and told me what the 90s was like as a teenager in highschool, also is a (also) a furry. Said what it was like without the mainstream internet and said it was hard as hell to get anything unless you went to a flea market or a store that sound anime on VHS with hardcoded subs.
Dish had a few channels that did have anime on it with a handful of subbed anime. I can't remember. At least those other channels had good anime VAs and wasn't hot garbage. I can't remember the channel but it's how I found out about Fruits basket
36 yo watching anime since 1997 fan.
Some titles weren't mainstream but anime was mainstream concept around the late 90's and became completely mainstream in like Tokyopop manga take over era also no shit most TV didn't play sub anime.
Yeah you had to actually buy anime and know people in the know usually or like get catalogs and shit no matter if you bought official subs,dubs or fansubs, etc
I say if you're early zoomer or late millennial, you kinda grew up with anime being mainstream it just wasn't maybe normie mainstream yet just nerdy mainstream like dc and marvel comics not outsider mainstream like indie comics.
I lived on the Gulf Coast of Florida in 2001-2003. From 8th to 9th grade, everyone in my class liked anime.
Like capeshit heroes use to only be mainstream with nerds and only few things leaked over to normies but around Spider-Man 2002 shit became fully normie mainstream.
I had Comcast at the time but my internet was still shit because I was poor. They had on demand animes like Air gear, Cat planet cuties, Seikrei, Black Cat, Rosario vampire it was alright
Thoughts?
for me it's washu-chan
Close enough but I don’t like the name of toonami era because only normalfags were doing that.
You think tokyopop era was mainstream?
We have different defs then.
Look. Aside from dbz/naruto/yugioh stuff.
Anime was pretty underground if you were looking for modern titles like Haruhi
Well what else you call it? The Toonami shows were the most culturally relevant besides 4Kids shit.
I mean shit like Haruhi was still mainstream with nerds, like if you were into nerd shit you knew it even if you weren't that into anime. Difference between mainstream for normies vs nerds.
You knew it. But it was one of those weird things you didn't touch. And denounced as weeb shit
Why lie?
Based lmao what a faggot
Those English translated Shonen jump magazines were incredibly helpful getting me to watch other animes and manga. I found Bleach that way and figured out One Piece wasn't discontinued since 4kids gave me the impression it got canceled. Plus the free Yugioh cards were nice
That cover all the way to the right looks like it was made by a millennial westerner faggot
Yeah weebs were shit on by other nerds but still knew it before in old days, anime was barely known at all.
At one time I only collected Shonen Jump for the cards, now I regret it as an adult cause I'm missing a lot of mags.
slit your throat normalnigger slime.
you are worthless
why are you so angry anon? wanna talk about it?
I post on Anon Babble
Post aot fans never experienced when anime was largely a secret club.
That makes them insecure
normies
Fuck off
Knowing about things =/= mainstream.
Everybody knows what superhero comics are.
Nobody reads em and haven't in decades.
Toonami was kino and i will never pretend otherwise
Oh yeah OK
no u
of course cause you were a kid
OP normie no put ipgrabbing

let's check oldest posts first
Anon Babble. A serious question for once, more related to Anon Babble itself than to anime, but still related in an indirect way.
I've been on Anon Babble for 2 years, back in January I noticed how bad Anon Babble had become and migrated to Anon Babble, then, slowly but surely, Anon Babble gradually turned from the old Anon Babble with video games into the new Anon Babble with video games.
Althroughout these 2 years I've occasionally lurked on Anon Babble, and I've got to say, it's probably the only board on here that has remained relatively unscathed from newfaggotry in my neutral opinion.
this is 2007. the absolute state
the term is "normalfag" you stupid faggot
Normie and normalfag are interchangeable and have been for years, stop getting your panties in a twist.
I will always love Toonami I don't give a fuck.
Im watching this. Its a Production I.G show that really felt as much as a time capsule as GITS:SAC is yet absolutely nobody knows about it.
normie
This site is for adults.
Oh wow nostalgia critic is talking about toonami I wonder what anime he will talk about?
spends half of the video just sucking Batman TAS and the DCAU cocks like he hasn't done that already multiple times!
I watch DBZ, Gundam Wing and Sailor Moon and I'm proud of it.
sure is. Sadly I'm 33
TBF compared to what is on TV now DC was better then.
Does AdultSwim fall into that category too? That and Toonami was most my exposure to anime when I was a teenager. So many late night hours spent watching anime. I probably lost a couple an inch or so from my growth spurt because of this.
I hadn't watched it before, but I bought the blu-ray disc. Man is it good.
Almost all of you got into anime through normie means and normie shows.
True OGs watched Pokemon and Digimon on Saturday morning blocks like Kids WB and Fox Box.
Toonami was just the evening backup block to those.
Oh no I'm not disagreeing with that. I'm talking about the normies who only watch normie anime and in English at this point. The shit you see sold at hot topic, not shit like we've watched and people go, "the fuck even is Deaimon: Recipe for Happiness?" people who refuse to even try subbed anime
I remember. I watched Kid's WB, then they started to change shit up when it because CW For kids and it fell apart. I don't know if they are still a thing.
Toonami was on weekday evenings. At least for what I watched. Maybe it was also on weekends but I don't remember. I watched some Kids WB thing early in the morning before school though. It had things like Monster Rancher, Zoids, CCS, etc.
ABC Family also had nice anime blocks. I watched Zoids a lot before going to elementary school.
Are you non-American or South American? Because in the U.S. it was mainstream. The anime crash was caused by licensors buying literally everything to meet the high demand for anime. You had Japanese bands singing the Teen Titans Op in order to get in on the craze and then a show was made about that band. The Haruhi dance was a viral meme. So was Caramelldansen.
