Excellent. Did you get the limited edition Deedlit phone card?
What was it like being an anime fan before the internet?
pre mid-2000's when no-one had broadband yet and dial-up was too expensive and slow to download anime from.
Having to go to LAN parties or that weird guy in the dorm to leech files or before that, renting the few VHS tapes of gory borderline-hentai anime movies and copying them, having to get up at 6am on a weekday to watch episodes of Sailor Moon etc.
I'm a millennial, so your stories about getting anime info through disreputable publications is a delectable legend to me. I saw the ass-end of things like mail-in fan clubs, but I never participated sadly.
>$20 for one episode
I did, but I've since lost it. I suspect one of my classmates stole it because we used to take turns hosting get togethers.
20 dubbed. 30+ if you wanted a sub titled tape. Which I always found weird but that's how it was.
