if in 2014, weebs had just said "anime is good; we just have extremely terrible taste," 90% of the conflict in this website would've been averted

Imagine if Bungie didn’t pull down their pants and perform explosive diarrhoea all over their old fans and the community with their soulless cash grab game and then proceeded to lock out anyone who wouldn’t buy it

Then they'd be cashless and hosting a forum server for oldies to shit on their complete lack of Halo.

Like yeah I get it Fuck Bungie, but apart from purchasing the game to access the forums, nuking the old iterations isn't new.

RIP any CoD forum except for whatever the current one is, and any Battlefield forum except BFV/BF1.

I remember finishing Cowboy Bebop and Trigun and then never getting back into anime.

it's more like 50, i exaggerated

i normally drop shows i don't like after just one episode, but sometimes i just feel compelled to see it through, especially if it's a show that's considered significant in spite of its awfulness, like gurren lagann

i'm also just really weird

Because my older brother who actually lived through the 1990's saw them amongst a lot of others that were contemporary to his youth, and he in turn showed them to me when I was very young. It was the age of DVDs and I had no other immediate source of info, so I moved on.

I didn't have good access to the internet for a long time. I've always loved consuming information, and I was reading history almanacs and books on historical cultures in place of the computer. When I finally got access to one, I was hooked on Wikipedia and other info sites because that's what entertained me. A lot of my musical, film, and tastes on entertainment in general stemmed from historical/cultural fixations and games I'd played. In other words, I drifted into my own niche.

That said, I do have a soft spot for anime and I'll give it a go every now and again. Maybe I just need a good nudge. Who knows.
