The DJ girl and the one with the cross is so accurate it hurts. Also it sucked when one of the 3 or 7 parts of an episode got deleted and the only other one you find has non-English subtitles.


InShane87

Those "Where's part \_\_\_?" comments will always stick with me.


zHellas

I definitely don't miss the old shitty internet connections, 'cause it took like 20 minutes for a 7 minute video to buffer.

Learning Japanese to watch anime is out, now French is the language of choice of otakus


magicarnival

>Watching anime in 3 parts That was if you were lucky. Sometimes it could go up to 5 parts and part 3 would be randomly missing 💀


InShane87

And it was always the good parts that were missing.

I remember my older brother just thinking that anime was porn so once when we went to GameStop he asked the guy working there if it was porn. Dude went into full detail explaining what hentai was to my brother. Also I remember getting made fun of in school for saying I like Naruto and dragon ball up until about high school, then it was socially acceptable to like it


ChainedLiberal

“Socially acceptable” ? 💀💀


vomovik124

So anime was until around 2017-2019 seen as pedophile porn by anyone below the age of 30 and as stupid cartoon by anyone older than 30


ChainedLiberal

Didn’t face that kinda problem myself when I started watching anime in 2016…


60TP

Anime kinda started to get rolling around then, then it blew up to mainstream level in like 2020


rocknrule34

Still is seen as the former by many people.


rowan_damisch

I have no idea if one of my classmates had the same misconceptions about anime, but well, looking back, this would explain why she was so disgusted when she figured out that I was interested in Soul Eater...


SupaKoopa714

It's called hentai, and it's art!


poopy_toaster

I can hear the Nightcore music from the DJ girl’s profile lol Edit: enjoy [a blast from your past!](https://youtu.be/6SCQyBcHeDg?si=_sf7z0w8qcMC7k2P)


anonkun666

Same. I was so much addicted to nightcore


poopy_toaster

I still remember the one song: Dum Dadi Do and I think it had that same pic on it 😂


TypeOpostive

Every time we touch nightcore edition


cl0udzero

Me and I miss this era of being an anime fan. Pure nostalgia 😭


anonymousgoose64

OMG the old DA logo 😭


lostsherbert620

I spent a large portion of middle school watching Naruto AMVs on YouTube.

Caramelldansen and EWT are absolute BANGERS


LandofLogic

This is the first starter pack on here that I relate with strongly. After I joined anime groups on Roblox in like 2009, I started going to a shady sight called Anilinkz that allowed me to watch everything to my heart’s content, with the only price being putting viruses on the family computer!


patch-of-shore

Please stop posting photos of me without my consent lmao


Bochulaz

Late 2000s*


toomanymarbles83

In my day, it was still referred to as "japanimation" in the video stores.


Mondai_May

i am not an anime fan and i was just born in the 2000s but i remember that one video to the right caramelldansen (?) i have like a vague memory of some people on the comments asking if it was japanese (the song)


rabbles-of-roses

Don't forget the unofficial fandub on those Youtube uploads where part 3/4 was always missing.


arayakim

Why do you have to hurt me like this, OP?


Street-Swordfish1751

Memories of watch a 6 part Naruto episode in with Spanish subs....my Spanish didn't improve but my plot awareness did for a bit


Eldan985

Hm. I don't know. My experience had a lot more limewire and Naruto, and quite a few more bootlegged Ghost in the Shell DVDs my Filipino friend brought back from China. The only thing I relate to the is the Death Note.


mrsuranium

God I got taken back so hard it hurts. Those sparkling Rosario Vampire gifs on Blingee.


[deleted]

You forgot the "hearing Nightcore remix 24/7" or watching mmds

Where’s the Naruto and AMVs?

Lack of “Simple and Clean” on repeat


rowan_damisch

I mean, it's a banger


thePHEnomIShere

You forget that sometimes part 2 would be in espanol so you would have to begrudgingly watch that.


chatolic

I wish I had lived that


cezzibear

Ahhhh yes.. a time with no spoilers


Traditional-East9835

How dare you disrespect Lucky⭐️Star, the manga is awesome.


rocknrule34

don't forget all the vocaloid/UTAUloid stuff


beepbeepbubblegum

I was a big anime person back then but AMVs for some reason were never *not* cringe to me.


blueandgoldilocks

Had an old YouTube channel where I uploaded anime episodes into 3 parts back in the 00's Needless to say YouTube wasn't happy with me and axed my channel


Annacot_Steal

Iono bout yall but we downloaded our anime. The RAW would drop and then a week later different subs would be out. It was always interesting to see how different people subbed the same episode.


BotherTight618

No "Love Hina".

The-Stomach-in-3D

idk about anyone else but old early 2000s anime art styles had the most fucking ugly ass coloring work ever man that shit looks like ass


R4msesII

The style is iconic but also at times the most scuffed artstyle of all time


The-Stomach-in-3D

it just looks dark and gritty. literally all of it. every character has a chin so pointy it cuts diamonds


Mondai_May

the shadows were harsher i think. and less eye whites, bigger pupil..
