What was the first anime to make you ashamed of watching anime?

I remember being like 8-10 years old and watching it on Adult Swim sometimes.
We all thought it was intentionally stupid and would watch it just to make fun of it.

Whenever the retarded pervert trope is used. It's never once been done well. To this day I cant imagine the type of subhumans actually laughing at that shit.

Bonus points for if the female screams and punches the guy and he goes flying away spinning.

She just needed an excuse to get her hands on the latest volume

>What was the first anime to make you ashamed of watching anime?
Rorouni Kenshin.
I've never actually seen it.

I started watching anime in the early 90's. Made it through junior high, high school a marriage and a divorce without ever once being ashamed of watching anime.
The anime scene in those says was like... you'd send some money via snail-mail to fucking hawaii to some random fuck you don't even know and then *maybe* if you were lucky you got a battered cardboard box a few months later crammed with VHS tapes.
You pop those suckers into the player and you knew it was like a copy of a copy of a copy. Bleary smeary colors, aspect ratios slanted to the side, distorted or mono-only audio and BIG YELLOW SUBTITLES. Sometimes you'd get a few episodes of several different shows, with no context between them. Imagine getting a tape with episode #5 of Trigun, episode 12 of Evangelion, and episode 7 of Martian Successor Nadesico.

Then I went to college in 2002.
There was this dude who was completely, totally, and utterly married to Rorouni Kenshin.
Picture this scene: You're in college, and you're talking with your mates about english lit.
This unwashed neckbeard horns in on your cluster of people, forces his way into the conversation, and turns it into a conversation about Rorouni Kenshin. Or maybe you're on the quad with your band and you're rocking out and busking at the same time because fuckit, money. In between sets you're counting mondey, dealing weed, shooting the shit with everyone, passing out demo CD's, whatever. Having a great old time.
Then this pasty-faced filthy unwashed shows up and excitedly talks about how this is JUST LIKE ROROUNI KENSHIN except that it has absolutely nothing at all to do with Rorouni Kenshin, and the hard-earned crowd melts away. No making money, no dealing weed, nothing.
(continued)

if something genuinely cringe happens, not wow lmao, actual wow that was fucking CRINGE I drop the series on the spot to spare myself the shame. I rarely watch anime in the first place so I couldn't really say though I remember seeing dbz as a kid and it was on an episode where this kid gets on a bed with a sleeping female character and puts his hand down her panties and goes "where are your dragon balls XDD" even at 5 years old I knew what just happened was cringe and got up and turned off the tv

I don't watch shounens, so there's basically zero chance that I will feel ashamed of an anime.

Now at the time, AMVs were getting popular. I used to make them, burn them to CD or DVD and enter them in contests at anime cons.
Yeah. AMV contests. It's not your anime, it's not your music, but you're entering it into a contest to win PRIZE MONEY. Baffling. I won a few contests. No, I won't link my AMVs.
But that dude would be there, hooting and screeching about rorouni kenshin.
Everything was rorouni kenshin.
If it wasn't about rorouni kenshin, he'd MAKE IT ABOUT ROROUNI KENSHIN.
He caught me at a convention because AMV contests.
Would not fuck off and leave me alone.
Kept chasing me around grunting and squealing about rorouni kenshin.
Kept trying to make him AMVs of rorouni kenshin.

I've never actually watched the OVA, the anime, or ever read the manga, but I pretty much know everything there is to know about the show because he wouldn't. leave. me. alone.

Last night there was one of those Pree-2000 anime threads and someone mentioned the Kenshin OVA.
Figured to myself, "It's been almost twenty fucking years. I can give it a go."
Fired it up and I started spraying puke all over the place like a lawn sprinkler. I can't stand rorouni kenshin. It makes me literally, genuinely, physically ill.

By the way, Yas Forums.
You remind me of that sperglord. It's grotesque.
Every single fucking day, it's ONE PIECE THREAD POST YOUR ONE PIECES.
Every single fucking day, it's HERO NO ACADAMIA THREAD POST YOUR RUBBER NEN
Every single fucking day, it's DBZ THREAD POST YOUR DBZ

I've watched anime for like 30 fucking years. Love the anime, hate the fans. I could never be caught dead in the same room as you.

lol

Well, you had an interesting story until that last paragraph, then it became kinda cringe.
Maybe you're too much of an oldfag to understand the internet.

Ikamusume. It was the first anime I ever searched online, and it gave my pc a weird virus.
I cried to my mom and she wasn't happy to know that a cartoon squid girl ruined an (albeit handed down) laptop

lmao -^o^- aaaa hahaha

Why you told your mom it was a cartoon about a squid girl instead of just something else?

>Ashamed of watching a chad show
Virgin detected

you must be just afew years older then me, or had just enough better and closer friends irl then i did back then, thats the stuff i would've done if i was cooler in the old days. lol

>turns on Yuru Yuri

>Maybe you're too much of an oldfag to understand the internet.
This is unintentionally hilarious, given my vocation. Stay classy, user.

Anyone still got their Hidden Leaf headband that they unironically wore in middle school?

Yeah, but that'd DBZ, it should be immune to that shit.
