you might get a kick about this episode about Vancouver FOB's on the anime scene: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/iNZ2grmJsZymn4E.html

Also gotta say, as one of the "younger kids" that hangs around anime cons, I would hang out with guys like you or the King any day. Lol

Junpei Iori It's funny you should mention hanging with older anime/manga fans and cosplayers. I turned 26 this year and definitely hopped on the anime-con train pretty late in life (MomoCon 2015 & SakuraCon 2017). Just the other day at SakuraCon I was eating lunch at the convention center's Subway and grabbed a seat at a table in a crowded lobby with about 4 or 5 late-teen/EARLY 20 year olds. At first I was like "ah geez, they probably think I'm too old to talk or socialize with". Going from appearances I'm something of a mid-20's, clean cut, heavier athletic build, sort of professional appearance. I later realized i was simply projecting my own insecurities because, contrary to my beliefs, they were actually very welcoming. We went around and shared our favorite con moments as well as our 'loot' we purchased. There was definitely the swapping of jokes and exchanging of suggestions for anime/manga that I'd never watched/read before. I was very bummed when I finished my sandwich because I had to get going to the next panel, but I won't forget the 20 minutes of fun, laughter and community we shared. I also bonded with several con goers waiting for THREE hours to purchase opening-day tickets, a Trafalgar Law cosplayer at a One Piece quiz show, a guy playing Power Stone in the retro game room, an Onocologist dressed as Doctor Who looking to get away from the stresses of hospital life, and many many more. So the long and short of it is that among older con goers, like myself, many of us appreciate younger attendees interacting with us. So thank you for helping keep the spirit of anime/manga community alive. I know I'll do my best to be as outgoing and inclusive as possible next time I'm at an event.

For sure man, that's what cons are all about. I just love getting to interact with anybody that shares my interests, and I'm sure lots of people feel the same. Even I could do a lot better at opening up to the strangers I meet, sometimes it's hard, and I can get socially awkward too. But doing it is definitely worth it.

Yeah man, some times I wish away the internet, or at least the early days to get that sense of community back. Things got pretty shallow once social networks became a thing.

Not to get TOO too deep into your personal life, but are you planning on attending any big name cons on the West Coast or any notable ones in North America this year? Purely curious. I'm new to the Seattle WA area following a company transfer from the Midwest US and can definitely tell folks are WAY more welcoming to anime/manga, video game culture, and tabletop gaming out here than where I originally came from. So I'm definitely making the most of visiting cons up and down the coast this Spring and Summer. I'd definitely like to head down to Anime Expo in California as well as a few in Canada (i.e. YettiCon).

The best Romance Anime ever

I did an unboxing of the Maison Ikkoku CD box in this episode: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/kN9ygMaXtZmyh5c.html

KidShoryuken Yes! Starz Channel and Starz On-Demand with Street Fighter II V and Tekken Animated Movie/OVA

There are some good ones but it's overshadowed with garbage and you need to spend time to dig into the good stuff and time is something people lately don't have.

part of that that is just classic nostalgia probably ... Newer things just don't seem as good because older movies/anime/music/whatever has memories attached to it from when you were younger... I'm like this with a lot of stuff I can't get into anything really modern/new but especially things like Anime an music.

0o I Died In A Time Machine o0 Honestly some Anime i could but mostly (especially) music nowadays It's hard for me to find some REALLY good.

I don't have a problem with nostalgia, I am looking at things realistically. I personally don't have those moments of "I wish I relive that moment etc" because there is nothing for me to go back to. Actually I do have some fond memories but that doesn't mean I am stuck with them or I am fanboying etc. If I would even go back in time I would do things differently not relieve things the same way. I never said all old animes are good it's just there were less compared to today and most of them were better than what we have today. People worked hard to make a good anime while today it's much easier to make animations because the technology comes with pre-sets nearly everything is in 3d which makes the animations far easier to achieve then to draw everything separately etc. Also today we have lots of hipsters that put together some shit anime and later brag about it how they made one like it's something relevant. Same goes for music, movies etc. Quantity over quality, that's the main problem then goes the rest.

cabbage he has a youtube chanel where he talks about the old days

Tipper Gore lol (that's an 80's reference for us old dudes)

I want to be her darling

SuperHighTechGamer So I wasn't insane, when it came to this?

Cyborg 009, Mobile Suit Gundam ( 0079 ), SDF-Macross, Saber Rider & The Star Sheriffs. - 30, soon 31.

Saint Seiya ? Oh, I love that show, shame is not popular in America, as it is popular in other parts of world.

Crim Rui yeah they are. Classic Anime beats newer anime in my opinion anyway. I like Attack on Titan, Berserk, and Boku no Hero Academia but every anime lately has been about magical girls, women with big boobs (ecchi) I don't like those type of genre unless it's prison school which was an exception

KodaiYuki1​ saint seiya is still the best anime/manga I still need to finish the original anime series and then it's other season arcs. The Saint Seiya the legend of sanctuary CG movie was incredibly good. I recommend you and anyone to watch it if you haven't already

All good stuff. I watched the Toonami and Adult Swim anime blocks religously back in the day.

He is MISTA SA-TAN

Totally!!

AnimeExpress I agree. I can't stand all of the high school style shows. Kinnikuman and old stuff is what I find myself watching lol

Word!

sounds like you grew up with the toonami and adultswim anime era my friend.. which I myself am apart of nowadays ^_^

Yeah, I also like watching the older stuff, like Hokuto no ken and Dragonball :D

Have you seen Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure? I’m sure you’ve heard of it, a manga that was from that old era, but they didn’t release a full anime series until 2012 and it’s still going trying to catch up with the manga :) check it out if you haven’t yet!

In Arizona, TV Azteca used to aired Sailor Moon, Captain Tsubasa, and Pokémon for the Spanish speakers, but then they took it away because of their scummy reasons

That's cool. I hope they programmed the hidden Aniki Levels!!

I think there will be surprises for this new version. :)

Oh boy that's great. The biggest surprise which would be probably impossible, but if it had the hidden Otaku Mode like Langrisser 1 did. THAT would be so awesome. Even you would be really in the game!
