Message: [QUOTE="Strategist, post: 13290, member: 767"] I also rented every single Anime movie from blockbuster as soon as I was an older teen and was allowed to watch whatever I wanted. My dad watched Akira with me and was shocked by the level of gore and violence in these cartoons. It was the era of ultra-violent gory anime movies. But during that era the place to be as an anime fan was the tape trading subculture. Either online or through 3rd parties. I went down a rabbit whole about the fan sub/tape trading culture and there were anime groups in universities across the US and Canada that would use video editing software to subtitle recordings of Japanese Anime. And would trade these online and spread them all across North America. There was a comic book store with a bootleg anime rental section in my hometown with many of these fan subs. And we would be able to rent anime shows that hadn't been released in North America. It was good times. [/QUOTE]
