I'm 37 and been watching anime damn near all my life. Pops used to rent the tapes from the video place and we'd all watch the shyt.
He wasn't taking home no kiddie bullshyt for us to watch. Shieet, Superbook came on regular tv so a nikka was bringing home Fist of the North Star, Ninja Scroll, Akira, and etc....I'll never forget the 1st time we all were watching Ninja Scroll and that snake came out that bytch p*ssy. We were all


Seeing shyt like that and you not even a preteen yet will definitely leave a lasting impression. From then on as I got older I was seeking out violent action based shyt, so a lot of shyt that didn't fit that mode or look interesting, I ended up ignoring. I noticed a lot of my peers that got into anime later were fukking with all the popular shyt that was out, but shyt wasn't doing it for me like that.
I done seen so much anime during my life, I done forgot some of them so occasionally I go back to a few, but its rare. I just finished rewatching
Cowboy Bebop for the first time since it came out. shyt was cool back then, but
no masterpiece. Felt the same way last week. Almost feel like its overrated. Meanwhile, I done prolly rewatched YuYu and Street Fighter V series 3 or 4 times.
I just be on some different shyt when it comes to anime. Its just pure fun an entertainment for me. I couldn't name studios or directors and all that other shyt. Only remember Viz video cuz I used to get the mail catalog to see what new anime was coming out. Certain shyt that looked like it had potential, that I missed out on, I'll definitely go back, but if that shyt is over 50 episodes, it'll prolly never happen.
I don't look at it as a handicap. I just look at it as me just fukking with the shyt I like.
