Excellent memories! I used PC Globe so much when I was in elementary school. I didn’t have an encyclopedia, and when some friend handed me that diskette it opened a new world to me. I ran that software so much that I memorized the world map, with capitals and population orders of magnitude.

My geography teacher was so impressed, they didn’t know how a small kid could have memorized the world. I even knew some anthems by playing them on the PC Speaker. Over time we all got Encarta, then Wikipedia, but for a brief amount of time, a floppy disk contained the world for many of us.

cfenollosa on SDF. Introduced to anime in the early 90s via Dragon Ball, Dr. Slump and Captain Tsubasa, my most loved mangas. In the late 90s Evangelion changed something in my brain forever.

Nowadays I don’t follow the new releases, but I’m always curious to read any manga that falls in my hands. As I grow older I feel like I don’t have time for animes though, the pacing on screen is usually very slow for my taste. But I constantly rewatch old gems such as Cowboy Bebop, FLCL, Future Boy Conan and the likes.

Happy to join a community to talk about oldschool japanese animation!
