kids today have it too easy.

Fansubs downloaded from IRC bots, taking all day to get just an episode or two with your slow-ass internet.
Oh the pain of hunting around for Naruto scanlations when it was new and in the early arcs of the first volume. I remember being so hyped when the Chunin Exam dropped, peak Naruto.
Also funny story, one chat room had “orgy” in the title and my grandma found out and I had to explain to her it was for my animes.
Rest in peace dbz player
RealMedia files on KaZaa or LimeWire that were ripped from a bootleg Hong Kong VCD.
the best time i ever had watching anime was watching vhs recordings of digimon that my dad did, but he somehow didn’t know how to set the timer on the vcr so it was only ever half of an episode.
Free anime watching websites have been around as long as youtubes been
I was on them when I was fuckin 6, back in fuckin 2007
Retvrn to downloading low quality anime fansubs via LimeWire.
Lol i was buying bootleg DVDs at cons in 2003/2004 when it was hella uncool to do so.
Watching the local con go from 5k to 40k has been wild tbh
Never forget the experience of downloading DBZ episodes on Kazaa, and waiting for episode 37 or whatever which got stuck at 80% and hasn’t moved a blip for almost a year and you can’t find any alternatives.
Thats how i watched Naruto and Naruto Shippuden till the pain saga.
I also had the VHS tapes circulated on a webring with the horrible yellow subtitles that would add excessive swearing
It’s how I first watched Serial Experiments Lain and I do not regret a second
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
the third level is listening to a Japanese exchange student explain the later seasons in non-fluent English
Learning to read Japanese so you can order the manga from a bookshop overseas.
Guess I was spoiled because I had toonami growing up, even if it was censored pretty badly.
VHS Dragonball, baby! Also, Ranma 1/2, I think. The age of p2p was a blessing.
anime on youtube at 360p with each episode split into 3 parts
Honestly I had to do that not even too long ago, like late last year or early this year. I was watching Sakura Taisen and one of the episodes on Aniwave (RIP) was broken, like the audio kept cutting out or something. Lo and behold, I could find an old-ass 480p upload of that episode on YouTube, split into three parts.
…Well, 480p, I guess that doesn’t count.
Maybe you should learn to use the internet instead going to youtube for watching anime.
Torrent files are too large sometimes
