ue-star I don't think a lot of younger Tumblr users understand what life during the anime boom was like in 1999-2007. How accessible anime was at the time. It was f------ everywhere. It wasn't even a niche, literally everyone was into it Like, Cartoon Network showed stuff like YuYu Hakusho, .hack/sign, Gundam Wing, Outlaw Star, Tenchi Muyo, and Rurouni Kenshin every weekday after school on their Toonami block I remember rushing home after school in second grade to watch Rurouni Kenshin. That was 7 year old me's favorite show You think Pokemon is popular now? HA! In the late 90's, it was every parent's worst nightmare. It was on the cover of Time Magazine for f----'s sake EVERY kid was obsessed with it. No exceptions. At least, until Digimon and Yu-Gi-Oh came around You could wake up on Saturday mornings and watch highly Americanized butchered versions of Shaman King, Tokyo Mew Mew (Mew Mew Power) and most infamouslv, One Piece thanks to 4kids An anime getting an extremely butchered Americanized dub was a very real legitimate threat that could happen to any show Staying up late enough to watch Inuyasha was considered a rite of passage Teenage girls flocked to Barnes and Noble to read entire volumes of Fruits Basket and Fushigi Yuugi in the store without paying for them All of the kids cartoons tried to cash in on the craze. I'm sure everyone remembers Avatar and Teen Titans, but trust me when I say that you DON'T want to remember Hi Hi Puffy Ami Yumi and Kappa Mikey Hayao Miyazaki won an Academy Awaro Final Fantasy VIl was considered the greatest video game ever made Some people still called it "Japanimation So many f------ magazines. Off the top of my head: Animerica, Shonen Jump, Shojo Beat, Newtype USA (the best one by far), Anime Insider, Beckett Anime, and Beckett Anime For Girls (The most cringeworthy one. Of course l had every issue!) Anime was freaking everywhere. The entire country was in its weeb phase Some people on this website are too young to even remember this

I remember the anime boom. The later phase of it was cheaply made dubs that buried more shows that had to be made from scratch, killing the second golden age and putting animation in a spiral it hasn't pulled out of until the last couple of years.

Fuck you, Anime boom, you killed cartoon cartoons and turned Toonami into "the Naruto show"
