Heck, my folks had a bonafide laser disc player just to watch imported stuff (Not just anime, American movies as well, but the anime was a large part of the reason.)
Man, that was some good :skull::skull::skull::skull: back in the day.
So yeah I was into this before it was cool and that makes me better than you all.
So, anyone want to discuss whether what we perceive as Japanese pop culture is what folks in Japan actually engage with?
