How old were you during the time when it seemed that Japan was literally going to take over the United States in take-home income, economically & technologically?

Never saw anime on TV. Just at the video rental store were stuff like Ranma ½, Cardcaptor Sakura, and Ninja Scroll. I didn't notice anything good like Serial Experiments Lain. Ranma ½ was the anime that introduced me to how weird anime was and it put me off at the time, being the little skater dork I was. I was more into renting movies like A Clockwork Orange and video games instead. I did mail order a DVD of "Twilight of the Darkmaster" and had seen all the standard anime movies like Ghost in the Shell, Princess Mononoke, Vampire Hunter D, ect. Those were awesome.

Then the fucking towers fell, I had just failed out of high school for the last time and lost all my friends. Things just went South from there. Of course the recession had to be in my prime years.

>>	Anonymous Fri Jul 17 01:08:42 2015 No.13785666 >>13785650 I know. It's a better measure of output than raw GDP. OP's graph implied the Japanese had a much higher income on average than the US, which we know wasn't true, especially after the bubble popped. I should have explained my objection.

I think I was about 8-10 when I first realized japanese shit made up a big part of my life

>anime
>pokemon
>video games
>almost every piece of electronics we had was japanese

I can't remember exactly when but I have memories of when I found out nintendo was japanese and I was kinda surprised, but it explained why there was often some weird foreign shit in the media I consumed

Believe it or not, I've never actually been to ytmnd. I did use to go to something awful a long time ago and I regret every minute of it.

So did you fuck up your life too like I did or are you just here for the Touhous and/or otaku culture?
