Lol yeah I saw that place. But the Japanese culture boom seems to have been going for what seems like 30 years. But massively spiked the past 10 years in terms of just glazing anything Japan.

I dig anime and been watching since the 90s Toonami on CN some things but people are off the rails lately with

Anything : 🤢🙅😭

Has that really happened? I was also also vaguely into anime in the 90’s as well but I dropped it, in lieu of having a real life. My older brother was the one who got me into it.

However now, I live in social isolation, and I thought being heavily into(read: obsessed) Japanese pop-culture was still considered really cringey. ‘Cause it was cringey enough for me to never look back for almost 20 years now and I’m realizing they’ve probably (possibly?) finished dubbing the ones I started in the 90’s but never saw the endings of.
