@ArdainianRight smartphone users and people blabbing about emulation sites got vimm to clode a big part of his archive. Common sense for those sites is to not talk about them so openly

Heavens FeelProject 2025 will make it legal to import modern kei cars and trucks from Japan and drive them on the highway. Project 2025 will force sports stadiums to only use Hololive or Vocaloid singers for performances and they will have to sign the national anthem without changing any of the notes. Project 2025 will make the McRib a permanent menu item and bring back the 24hr breakfast menu. Pizza Hut will have to use colorful restaurants with glossy red cups for your drinks.
@miko I don't really care about their private lives (some of my oshi are married and one is a lesbian) but if they started to openly hate on fans or get political, I'd stop supporting them.
@KonataWagner It is a remake of the two "Near" routes from Tsukihime, which I consider to be Type-Moon's magnum opus. I loved the original and I want to see what its remake will be like.
@NotAWeeb@icst It was certainly harder to get stuff. Maybe I'm looking back on it now with rose-colored glasses but I don't remember the fans being as confrontational as some are in the scene now. We were in the minority so it didn't make sense to criticize someone else in the fandom for their waifu(s) or what shows they liked. I'd argue it still doesn't - to each their own.
@icst@NotAWeeb I neglected to mention how important those anime-screening rooms were at conventions in the past. They'd show all manner of subtitled (or not, sometimes it was raw) anime which had been acquired from diverse sources. The young otaku would have a chance to see what all this mysterious stuff looked like, which evoked the desire to find out more about this strange thing they were looking at. image.png
@icst@NotAWeeb I was there (I am an "old taku") so I can tell you. There were a number of tape-trading circles. You'd get a VHS tape and would send it to them in the mail along with a money order. A few weeks later you'd get back a tape with some anime on it. What you got might be a multi-generational copy that looked bad, and the subtitles on it were soemtimes iffy, but you were very glad you had some anime to enjoy.
Later on toonami and the sci-fi channel (that's how it was spelled back then) would show dubbed anime. If an anime got a dubbed release in the USA, it'd often be censored or revised - Cardcaptor Sakura was chopped up to make it look like Li Shaoran was the main character, Sailor Moon was missing many episodes, had altered character names, and many elements altered (they tried to say the lesbian couple were two cousins, etc.)
