what
no
that is impossible

oh god it is true

where did my life go

As much as we love Yoshitoshi ABe, it has been 6 years since he did character designs for an anime.

This is like the time on /v/ when some anon posted pics of Metal Gear Solid and Ocarina of Time, revealing them to be 10 years old (at the time).

Fuck.

>>19072025
Speaking of things that are 10 years old.

what is this i don't even

>>19072053
3 year old here.

Ah, 10 years ago, good ol' highschool. I remember being so optimistic about losing my virginity, because no matter you were you were insured to lose your virginity in highschool, or else you just weren't living!
I'm still a virgin..........

>>19072053
Lies just tell me its a lie

>>19072097
i hear in canada you can buy sex in bags

Sawao Yamanaka (lead singer of The Pillows) is 40 years old.

All your favorite FLCL songs from the albums Little Busters, Runners High and Happy Bivouac are now 10 going on 11 years old. Since these albums, The Pillows have produced a further eight albums.

If you still listen to and like the FLCL soundtrack, you're pretty much listening to classic rock.

>>19071965
Goddamn

The turn of the millenium was 9 GODDAMN YEARS AGO. IT HAS ALMOST BEEN A DECADE SINCE THE 90s.

>>19072053
Anyone else get that 'squandering your youth' feeling right about now?

>>19072109
No, but you can buy handjobs from masseuses for 40 dollars.

>>19072114

>>19072114
>classic

>>19072139

>>19072171
Hey, I heard Song #2 by Blur on a Classic Rock radio station two days ago. That song was from 1997.

WE'RE OLD. THE MUSIC WE LIKE IS OLD AND "CLASSIC".

>>19072139
youth? I lost that a long time ago. Even though I never had a social life I still think I had fun. Hell, everything is fun when you're young.

>>19072198
When I was like 5-10 I didn't even watch TV, didn't have a computer, and had never played video games except at friends houses.

How did I pass the time?

>>19072114

Still listen to The Pillows, but it is kinda' crazy that their first album was what, 1989?

FUUUUUCCCKKKK, even GTO is 10 years old.

>>19072221

Nevermind, oldest one I have in my Pillows folder is 5/21/1990

>>19072208
Me to bro.

>>19072198
Very true. When I was 12, I was happy just killing time on message boards and watching toonami. Where has the time gone?

was it really ten years ago i just saw it last year and loved it

Oh wow this thread makes me feel older, and I'm only 19.

>>19072269
>Happy killing time on messageboards
It's the same now, only without the happiness.

I'm looking at my dusty old DVD collection (lol buying anime):

Lain- 11 years old
Cowboy Bebop- 11 years old
His and Her Circumstances- 10 years old
Voices of a Distant Star- 7 years old
Haibane Renmei- 7 years old
Planetes- 5 years old
End of Evangelion- 12 FUCKING YEARS OLD

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

>>19072114
Classic rock is good man.

Remember when Spirited Away won an Oscar for Best Animated Feature?

That was 7 years ago.

>>19072053
>or so I hope.jpg

>>19072387
Fuck, there's no fucking way, it's already been 7 years. I refuse to believe it!

>>19072248
Eikichi Onizuka, 32 years old, still virgin....... HEY YOU OVER THERE! STOP LAUGHING!!!

1999 was 10 years ago

>>19072392

Moon Gold (1991)

is oldest album they show on Wikipedia, so i could only be missing singles and the like, and since I have two folders older than that, I think I'm ok.

On another note, Thank You My Twilight, kicks major ass.

I knew I was old when nick at night started airing fresh prince. I used to watch that everyday in the mid 90s.

Tenchi Muyo (OAV) - September 25, 1992

OH. FUCK.
WHAT HAPPENED TO MY LIFE?

G Gundam was 1994
Gundam Wing 1995
Yu Yu Hakusho was 1992
Rurouni Kenshin 1996

And for /co/: Batman TAS 1992

>>19072324
I recently dug out my CDrs that had his and her circumstances on it and it definitely has that 90s look and feel. Even the DVD has that old grainy look to it.

Hellsing. The first TV series.

Remember watching it thinking it was the best looking, best sounding, best goddamned anime out there?

8 years old, grandpa.

14 years old.

And I'm not talking about the characters.

>>19072552
Forgot mah pic

>>19072443
They also did Pantomime and 90's My Life before Moon Gold.

>>19072553
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

I was NOT 10 years old when i watched this... *crys*

Bleach is 8 years old...

>>19072553
Wow...Just wow

FUCK FUCK YOU GOD DAMN IT WHAT HAVE I DONE WITH MY LIFE

>>19072515
That was back when life was good. Before everything turned to shit. Sigh

14+ years since Saturday Anime? Yeah, old.

>>19072595

Those are my two folders that are older than Moon Gold, so I'm safe then.

This anime is 11 years old.

I bet you still have the "Oh man, I wish there was a sequel" discussion every now and then.

>>19072680 berserk.jpg

Note to self: change file names when doing surprise spoiler pic posts.

>>19072680
every. fucking. day. of. my. life. I still want an animated version of the manga, up to the new suit if need be. They don't even have to introduce the new characters, just get the ball rolling from the first episode. siggghhhh.

>>19072324 Planetes- 5 years old

i can't quite get over this. It feels like it was only 2 years ago.

Almost 18 years old.

Over 20 years old.

>>19072748
Thanks, NOW I feel old.

>>19072701
How fucked up was it, to end it where they did. That was a fuck you ending if i ever saw one.

>>19072748
59 years old manga, 44 years old anime.

Oh my, has it really been that long since FLCL? 7 years since spirited away won best animated feature? I mean, I knew I never did anything with my life but, were they really that long ago?
I never really took the time to think about this stuff. Seems like it was just yesterday I was watching Thundercats and Sailor Moon on TV as a kid.

>>19072777
Forgot my pic.

Macross is 26 yrs old

>>19072701
>>19072774

It's been 11 years, you old beans. 11 years, and you're still raging. WE'RE still raging.

And, in 25 years time when the manga has finally finished (God, I wish that was hyperbole) we will continue to rage over that late 90s anime adaption; still hoping that someone will give us MOAR.

1988 huh.

Turns 9 this year

>>19072615
Holy shit, now I really feel old.

And God damn, its been running that long?

>>19072748
I was in Jr High School when i first saw that, fffffuck!

Manga: 1998
Anime: 2000

Remember how you downloaded those episodes with Kazaa.

21 years old. It was actually release 1 month exactly, before I was born.

1996

>>19072846 Manga: 1998

What...wha... WHAT AM I DOING WITH MY LIFE?!

>>19072553
I was in my second year of HS when i first became aware of Eva, through word of mouth. I didn't actually watch the series until early 2000, though.

>>19072862
No. No way in HELL....
...
...really?

Holy crap, I was just thinking of old anime I've seen when I was younger. I had no idea Cyborg 009 was so old.

TV Anime

* March 6, 1979~March 25, 1980, 50 Episodes
* TV Asahi, Tuesdays at 7:00 pm

>>19072661
OH GOD TENCHI MUYO AND OUTLAW STAR. FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

>>19072903
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK
I REMEMBER SEEING THIS SHIT WHEN I WAS 12

>>19072846
fuck I remember downloading all of love hina with dialup. The OP is forever stuck in my mind.

want to feel nostalgic? remember anime before the internet? how you had to hunt for tapes or save up to buy them? I saved up for the first evangelion tape FOR WEEKS.

Imagine how those of us who are old enough to remember Voltron, Gatchaman, and Robotech feel.

>>19072838
347 chapters, one chapter a week.

>>19072887

thats when the manga first came out. I think the series came out in 1998. either way, I have found memories of CCS and all attempts by /a/ and Anonymous have failed to corrupt it in my eyes. It is a shining jewel that cannot be tarnished.

You now realize that Naruto/One Piece/HunterxHunter are over 10 years old

>>19072936
Shit man i remember going to Suncoast to buy Cowboy Bebop and Lain on VHS. Not to mention Nadesico, Grey:Digital Target, City Hunter and Tenchi Universe. In fact i still have my big ass collection of anime VHS's in a box in my basement.

The fucking Matrix is 10 years old now!

>>19072987
I remember when naruto first came out and wasn't entirely popular I downloaded the first 2 episodes then dropped it because I thought it sucked. I remember thinking I might pick it up again if I had time.

>>19072936
Do I remember tapes? Hell, I was a freaking distro. I have an assload of master tapes in SVHS and laserdiscs in my basement.

>>19073009
Oh and in most stores they were fucking 30 bucks for one VHS.

>>19072947
I still have old tapes of Robotech in my box of old tapes...
Damn, am I really that old? I don't want to see how old Robotech is. Voltron I have no tapes of though, but I remember I used to have the figures as a kid.

>>19072936
I had a store on my block growing up that sold lots of Asian stuff, they had bootlegged recordings of anime. Back when everything was subbed in plain white or yellow text, before all this fancy enhancing.

>>19073009
fuck yes. That feeling going into suncoast and looking at the shiny new tapes along the wall was orgasmic. You would pick one up and take in the new smell of plastic while you read the back. Fuck. I will never forget my tapes nor will I ever think of getting rid of them. Want to nostalgiabomb even more? watch the preview material before the main feature on the tape. Fuck. I feel like crying.

Anime and manga started in Japan in 1992
Anime started airing in North American in 1995

>>19073057
>Back when everything was subbed in plain white or yellow text, before all this fancy enhancing.

Dude, what are you like 40?

>>19073057
Had a similar store where i lived, thats pretty much how i watched anime through most of the early 90's , since the bootlegged tapes were dirt cheap. I still have alot of those as well too! Baoh, The Guyver, Battle Angel ova, Devil Hunter Yoko, Ninja Cadets , Yu Yu Hakusho and of course DBZ just to name a few.

i remember atrac and vinyls
shit i still have a buttload of both

>>19072903
You are probably thinking of the 2001 remake, Junior.

>>19073130
hell i remember the trumpet looking device, though I was only 5 at the time.

>>19073106
AHA! I'm older than that, dude.
57 here, and still young enough to hang with the youngsters.

this just goes to show:


only shit has been made for hte last 5 years.


For real.

>>19073093
I remember watching this when I was like 9. My first crushes were Sailor moon and Mars.
Damn, it was pretty much at this point my heart was set on 2D rather than 3D. Didn't help that I spent hardly any time socializing with anyone from school at this age, let alone girls.

>>19073127
Speaking of DBZ i feel old whenever i see my young nephews and cousins going crazy over that shit. I was watching that shit before any of them were born, hell most of there parents hasn't even met and fucked yet.

OH BOY ANOTHER THREAD THAT MAKES ME WANT TO DIE.

>>19072680
There isnt a sequel because the manga is FAR FARRRRRRRRRRRR Superior and HOLY SHIT IS BERSERK OLD!

>>19073192
Do they even show that shit on TV anymore?

man...half this stuff i grew up on...fucking nostalgiabomb here...(yeah i grew up in asia so alot of stuff was on the tv saturday morning or soemthing)

i was gonna post this on /g/ but owell. found it at the sonystore jsut before christmas

>>19073157
>>19073174
And suddenly, Anonymous did not feel so old

>>19073141
I'm certain that I'm not. I still have the tape recording in crap quality. I wonder if that VCR I have up there still plays stuff.

TTGL was already 2 years ago
Ouran High school host club was 6 years ago
eureka 7 was 4 years ago.
Black lagoon was 7 years ago

Spice and Wolf was already last year.

>>19073205
At least in Mexico. And that's the reason the movie is going to bomb here. DBZ is still too fresh in the kids mind.

>>19073177
As things get older you only remember the notable ones. All the shit anime (TRULY shit) of the 90s are already gone and forgotten.

>>19073238
>Black lagoon was 7 years ago
sorry what? when did it become 2013?

sometimes I hate watching shit on DVD because it looks too good. I love the old look on VHS. DVD cheapens the experience by removing all the little aberrations that made the original experience so great. To this day, I refuse to watch the original ghost in the shell movie in anything but VHS.

>>19073238 Ouran High school host club was 6 years ago
>eureka 7 was 4 years ago.
>Black lagoon was 7 years ago

I need to make something of my life. This is seriously depressing.

>>19073313
anime isnt like wine buddy, it doesnt get better with age.
Its probably more like milk, after a week you'll be raging if u watch it again

>>19073226
Are you Japanese?

>>19073323
guy's a troll, black lagoon was made in 06, not 02

Didn't the Pokémon manga start in 1997/8 and the anime started showing in 1998/9? That's 10 years ago. Fuck man, that shit was a part of my childhood.

And for you /v/idyas, you are now remembering that Crash Bandicoot is a little over 12 years old.

>>19073313
DVD was the best thing to happen to anime. Could you imagin trying to watch something like Diebuster on VHS?
Not too long ago attempted to watched an old vhs on my HDTV, it look bad very bad.

I was 4 when Gurren Lagann came out.

>>19073359
I remember shitting my pants over the US premiere of the pokemon anime on television. Ah the distinct memory of my parents' disappointment at their anime loving son. I miss the days when it didn't hurt.

>>19073359
>>And for you /v/idyas, you are now remembering that Crash Bandicoot is a little over 12 years old.
Meh. I started gaming with the Vectrex. hows that for back in the day?

ITT: Anonymous is reminded of his own mortality.

This Anon started following anime 17 years ago.

>>19073355
No, read >>19073057
I wasn't born when it first came out, I was born in 85, I got the tape for it around when I was 10 or so, which would be around 95.

>>19073366

All of you are acting like retards.

Time passes.

In ten years, your current favorite anime will be old. Stop acting like remembering an anime is fucking old is like so great discovery that has shaken your life.

Most of you are losers that have wasted over ten years of your life watching anime and doing nothing except that. I pity all of you who've done that, and I hope you all die a terrible death.

>>19073177
Yeah, I'd say 2004, maybe 2005 was the last good year. Everything since then hasn't been able quite break through the ceiling set by previous content.

>>19073640
1/10

19 years old ;_;

so is my niece. I think I'll buy her flcl for her birthday.

>>19073655
2006 would like to have a word with you...

I just realized I've been watching anime for over a decade. D:

FFFFFFFF I never look at the age of anime. In my mind anime is either new (made between now and 2 years ago) and old (3 years+).
This is depressing.
