[Off-Topic] Forgotten memories from a different era. Share your stories.
Was having a conversation with my SO today.
I think we’re probably the last generation who watched animated shows on TV as kids, as now the new trend is of “iPad” babies who watch content online?
We started discussing about how the channel you used to watch as a kid tells you so much about that person.
Like kids that watch Nickelodeon were so different than the kids who used to watch Disney. And the Cartoon Network kids were unhinged. 👀
Man, I don’t know how old is this audience but we used to have shows like Avatar-The Last Airbender, Kochikame, Yu-Gi-Oh, Pokémon.
And much before that Oswald, Noddy, Dexter’s Laboratory, Powerpuff Girls etc.
What is your favourite animated show from back in the day? Would love to hear some stories.
[Edit 1]: Grapevine has added a new edit feature on posts, and I am definitely watching Gravity Falls as recommended by DrProduct
[Edit 2]: That comment has been deleted since then. 👀
Aah good old days. Used to watch Hatim and Shaka laka boom boom.
Oh lord! This post and comment section just transported me to back to my school days! Lovely :') I remember how I included Kochikame, Pokémon, Son Pari, Disney Channel shows, etc in my study timetable and alloted specific time slots as per the show timings. Good old days :')
@SmartRing77 and do you remember we used to open the newspaper to check which shows would come today and at what time. 🥹
Yess!! While I'd wait for my school van, I'd do that and sometimes in the school library. Also, remember, cartoon network had birthday shoutouts, we had to email them with our birth date.
Toonami on Cartoon Network, 5:30 dragon ball z. Ah the good ol days
@salt is back with another top-quality thread!
I used to watch all the shows you mentioned. I kept circling between Nick, Disney, CN, POGO, etc. Kochikame's OP was a banger. RIP Yu-Gi-Oh's creator, dude was a legend.
One day, a new channel popped up called 'Animax' which was like a TV serial channel but for anime & I fell down that rabbit hole 🫡
@tzr Do you really feel so? I feel extremely happy that you said that.
You know? I really try to meditate and go back to think about these really small details that we all forget.
The joy of discovering something you forgot, is the ultimate joy because it reminds others to not take things too seriously.
Kochikame theme song. 😍 I just put it on YouTube to listen again.
Yeah, dude. Animax pioneered the Anime on TV concept in India. I haven’t watched a lot of anime but Avatar the Last Airbender is really amazing.
