I am still crying like a bitch over Air's ending

I never liked cover shmion, Giovanni was the funnier one.

Mmm, look at all that good OC.

inb4 Death Note shoops

Might as well post this too.

Traumend was shit. Discuss

>>48638464
nigga you gay

>>48638497

Sup Mengsk.

We were so innocent back then
;_;

Back in the day, OC was meant to be something

Just saw the first episode, looks like we'll finally have something to replace Eva!

>>48638603
I still love that.

Even /b/ was entertaining back then.

Holy shit, Best anime EVAR.

I'M SO FUCKING GAR FOR ARCHER GAIZ

JANKUUUUU

>>48638790
I don't see promotions around here anymore.

>>48638752
I know! Hope it gets a second season.

>>48638790

I laughed so much with this meme back in the day

Code Geass is shit.

Saber is mai waifu.

>>48638819

>>48638859
Yeah as long as they don't mess it up like they messed up the airing order.

>>48638819
You can start posting them again, doubt anyone would care for a dead meme though.

I wish.

B-But I was narutard...

>>48638924
I see people try and it just doesn't cut it anymore.

Oh well.

Promotions?

>>48638895
Haha oh wow

>>48638924

5 years later, this still makes me laugh

>>48638987

Its because posting porn on worksafe boards has become so commonplace that people don't even care anymore.

Can you believe it? There was a time when people actually cared if porn was posted on /a/?

2006 and prior Anons, are we here forever?

>>48639040
I wish the reverse went for /tg/

PROMOTIONS

I guess the modern equivalent would be

Yep.

>>48639040
When I close my eyes, I imagine myself running through a field of flowers with old /a/.

So yes, I can.

But that's a joke that noone remember or knows, you should lurk more and know your memes
A good starter would be foreveralone, umad, >implying and so on. Newfag
This is what most of the /newnormalfag who browse /a/ actually believe

Nobody remembers me anymore.

Sorry Jim, I wasn't here back in 2006, Manko will kill if I'd say otherwise

>>48639118
who could forget?

Stop talking about Death Note and Code Geass.
Underrated series but really good, Coyote is a bad ass, fucking love this series.

I miss 2006 /a/. Those were fun times.
PS: Rozen Maiden ruled

>>48639118

LOts of people remember.

Holy fuck I'm nostalgiaing so fucking hard right now

>>48639118
It's a masterpiece I recommend to everyone, I kid you not.

>2006

Anime is for faggots. Gundam, DBZ, Pokemon? All the same shit. Ugly as fuck and sounds annoying too. And what's with all those action lines whenever they take a step? That shit's gonna give ya seizures.

>>48639229

>>48639169

I still remember when episode 1 first aired

oh hai everynine!

>>48639168
i was in the thread that was revealed, i helped spawn that thing. I feel kinda good about it

I happen to be an expert on this subject!

Great tripfag or GREATEST tripfag?

>>48639278
Lucky Star was 2007.

I like 2006 /a/ since we don't have to see Christian "COOCK GOOS HOOR" Bale doubles faggotry shitting up /a/.

Let me just go forward one more year because this thread was hilariously interesting.

Season two will be the best because they're bound to cover Disappearances, I can't wait! It'll probably come out next year, along with volume 10 of the LN - awesome!

>>48639299
I think the manga has been around since 2004 actually.

>Suddenly, it's 2006.
shit wrong turn.

>>48639379
Nobody ever talked about the manga until the animu aired, though. Definitely not the LOL HOW DOES I EAT CHOCO CORNET shit.

>>48639118

"Wow, it's dazzling!" (「うおっまぶしっ!」, Uo' mabushi'!?)
Dialog that Musashi abruptly shot when not effective by use of Onmyou dan to Jijouda by the second story. The scene that shines dazzling immediately before is not found. As for the production person's intention, it is uncertain why to have made this dialog talked. The theory that wholly deletes the scene of a pertinent scene is thick from the delay of production.

Straight from Wikipedia.
Look at the main image for hilarity.

this thread is in some dire need of SABER ON A BANANA.
jamesCID, care to supply?

>>48639206
this was subbed?

J-J-J-JAM IT IN!

Anybody gonna watch this show in the fall? I bet I'll be the only person on /a/ watching it.

Derp.

Waiting for weeks or months for subs. Good times.

rozen maiden sucked

>>48639603
better believe it nigga

i kind of wish i would have backed up all of those images i saved religiously from back then. Like if one day reaction images and macros would become currency, thats how much i saved. Then came the reformats...

>>48639600
Yep. The use of this image pretty much went extinct when the page limit moved to 15. You think that they would make a page 15 version of this but I guess not.

When was the last time a post was deleted for being old?

>>48639650

I think I'll post the 2010 one after this so you can see how things have changed.

i remember being quite excited for kujibiki unblance. Then i recall dropping it at like episode 2

Dash Adams is my favorite captain

HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLY SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT

why did I have to be such an anime-hating retard in 2006

I could have been having fun with you guys rather than my 3dpd friends ;_;

Man, why did you rename your shit, having 114-.jpg timestamps makes them all the more nostalgic

>>48639936
FEEEASTAH
fuck i've been here way too long

Before there was Boku no Pico..

Am I suddenly not considered a newfag if I started posting in 2006?

Kinda miss the dry sarcasm, wittiness and accomplice mindset back in the days, was the fuel for meme.

Come to think of it, it's been a while I've replied someone: because you touch yourself at night.

>>48640051
Dunno. It's when I stopped.

This thread...it's brining tears to my eyes...

118- huh? Have a couple of them but my collection really started 119-. I remember lurking from 2005 and actively posting in 2007.

God fucking damnit, has it been that long?

I miss Underwater Ray Romano and Higurashi S1 /a/

>>48639885
I remember I was actually speechless when I saw the Smash Brawl trailer.

From the final smashes to Meta Knight making his appearance to Wario's nuclear fart, I was very well on the way to shitting myself.

And the game is still a fucking blast to play. You made good, Nintendo.

>>48640188
Do I. I wonder what happened to Velox?

>>48640089
I've got images anywhere from 114 to 118

they're unix timestamps, plug them into a converter and it'll tell you exactly when the image was posted.

For example this one was from Fri, 14 Apr 2006

Here is another one

>>48640203
/jp/ splitting off is what really put the nail in the coffin with /a/. Notice that the newfag summers started with Geass Summer, which started like 4 months after /jp/ was made. Without /jp/ here to scare away/discourage newfags they went to town.

3:00 to 3:45 is like a nostalgia bomb. Memes back in the day were more fun because there wasn't that general consensus of "DURR MEMES ARE NOT FUN" and hating /b/ become a fad to make you look cool and that's pretty retarded because /b/ was /a/ back in the day so people today saying "LOL GTFO TO /b/" is like pretty ironic. /b/ today is not the same people though.

What's 113-?

I don't know why I have this, and forgot the context of it, but it's an old discussion thread

>>48640259

Eh, just before /jp/ started /a/ was thick with ronery/bitches and whores threads, which were truly a cancer that /a/ has never cured itself of. Back in 2006 yeah /a/ was misogynistic but they weren't so aggressive about it.

>>48640291
You're not fooling anyone.

>>48640241

>never forget

I never will.

An unbelievably tragic shame that a new Smash Bros will never be made again. I wonder why Sakurai split from the company?

>>48640209
The day Japan Time ended was the day 4chan died.

Fuck, even /v/ back then was preferable to modern 4chan nowadays. It was because of /v/ I discovered Graffiti Kingdom.

Is Hotaru still liked?

According to the timestamp, I saved this picture in September of 2004.

>>48640338
Is that you, HM?

>>48640302
Nowadays, this would be a LOL SUISEISEKI IS MAI WAIFU XD

NOPE
that's an edit.

I didn't start coming to /a/ until early 2007, but I remember all of these memes still being used then.

I miss 2007 /a/. ;_;

>>48640259

That reminds me: Season One of Code Geass aired in 2006. It didn't reach the same level of popularity (Haruhi was probably the number one show of 2006) but there certainly were enough people watching it that memes sprouted up.

Pizza Hut supports the rebellion.

ANIME EXPERT threads everywhere ;_;

>>48640394
i was too involved with an hero, too involved. that was the day i realized i was no longer human.

also 2006 was the last decent year, by 4chan standards. goddamn habbo raids

>>48640320

With what?

Why do I even have this?

>>48640259
Touhou was, and still is, a cancer on /a/.

People who say they need to reunite don't remember the constant Touhou dumps and the attention whore KoG spamming Cirno threads on the front page.

Good riddance to that shit, it needed it's own board. I'm not defending /a/ now, but /a/ was still shit back then. Just a little bit less shit, but keeping /jp/ on board wouldn't have helped. Touhou has become a magnet for casual underage newfriends on 4chan days anyway.

>>48638358

Here I thought a lot of you left /a/ completely.

We'll be here forever. Together.

Back in 2006, people still knew that 4chan was a weeaboo website.

These days you get so many people who have absolutely no interest in Chinese cartoons or video games, why are they even here? /soc/ would have never happened in 2006.

>>48640433

Oh yes, good thing we don't have that King of GETs faggot ruining things for us anymore.

Nice dubs.

all dem reaction images that never getting used anymore....

>>48640499
I actually believed this back then

>>48640468
4chan is considered to be hip now. We're right up there with Tumblr in terms of popularity (and probably share similar userbases).

>>48640431
God I miss peanut butter jelly time... Takes me back to when I was a kid and didn't have internet, so I only used it in school. Everything about it was so exciting back then....

>>48640478

I'm pretty sure moot increased the maximum lifespan of threads at some point.

>>48640535
>>48640468
Yeah, seeing normalfag-central boards like /soc/, /fit/, and /fa/ are just sickening. God, I hate moot for doing this to 4chan.

You and /v/ were the ones who introduced me to JoJo's Bizzare Adventure.

You'll forever be in my heart.

this is the oldest image in my /a/ folder (07/26/2005). I think I saved this and uploaded to /a/ to start an actual discussion. To my surprise, some people did watch tide line blue back then, but it wasn't a big thread

I like it more when we didn't take 4chan seriously and just chilling in general.

Former /a/nons in /jp/ are so spiteful since that day, but it's funny nonetheless.

Exiled like Onsakamaru and tonberryking.

oh shit i remember doing this

why the fuck does windows say the date created is in 2008 when the modified is in 2006?

>>48640588

There's nothing normal about /fit/.

>>48640596

/r/-ing the pic where Hitler has a Geas and makes a joke about killing all jews

Posting in a Tripon thread!

Delicious old /a/. Today we are becoming almost mainstream, we have a forum-like userbase who prefers general threads.

>>48640619
They're spiteful because:
1) horrible tripfag drama scarred old /a/ (and they're still around).
2) moot listened to whiners and exiled them, although the Underwater Ray Romano wasn't such a big deal.
3) Being hated actually kept the board's standard.

>234 posts and 150 image
So fucking proud.

I actually went over with /jp/ when the split happened, but I started coming back after a year or two.

I loved me some Touhou in 2006 but I have a hard time believing there are some people who have been obsessing over it nonstop for over 5 years straight now.

I quite distinctly remember someone in 2006 commenting on all the Haruhi threads by saying "Haruhi is just a fad. Next year we'll have forgotten about it just like we've forgotten about Mai-HiME."

>>48640596
>You and /v/ were the ones who introduced me to JoJo's Bizzare Adventure.

This.
and /a/ actually convinced me to try One Piece after a long, long time of being put off by the art style. I never regretted it once, and it is now my favorite series.

Golden Boy ( I fucking laughed my dick off when marathoning this), GTO, even fucking HnK...you guys showed me all of this amazing stuff and much, much more.

>>48640494
Hey there fellow 23yoman. What despicable adults we turned out to be...

>>48640588
I said this once and I'l say it again. /soc/ is a board full of people who weren't good enough for /b/, the /b/tards had to filter them out.

>>48640679
Well to be fair Touhou was a ruse. Cover for other stuff they do, if you will. They've branched out significantly to MMOs, niche Video Games and other stuffs.

>>48640577
Yip in 2007 threads started dying within hours on /a/ so a better pruning system was implemented.

In early 2006 I could save a thread to favourites, come back the next day and it was still around. /a/ was pretty slow back then.

>>48640668
Indeed. They love those sages.

Someone start a new thread. Image limit reached and I wanna post more nostalgiabomb images.

>>48640701
Wow.

>>48640668
>3) Being hated actually kept the board's standard.

this. now it's all fucked up.

>>48640698
Right? I know when I was a starry eyed 18 year old I didn't expect to still be here when I was 23.

I get depressed when I read the "post your age" threads and 95% of the posters are saying 18-21.
