What was Anime like as a Hobby in the 90's?

you imported vhs tapes from japan
and watched them with your friends and you'd try to figure out what characters were saying and what was happening
like trading a ton of shitty vhs ovas
- sending away self-addressed stamped envelopes containing blank VHS tapes, then excitedly waiting two months for the distro group to e-mail you back two episode of Kodomo no Omocha
- endless trips to Suncoast Video
- considering yourself smart when you avoided buying pirated fansubs at the comic book store; bought pirated Chinese wall scrolls and SonMay CDs instead.

Oh, I forgot an important one:
- looking furtively at the screenshots of Nene in her underwear in the back of the Bubblegum Crisis video box in Blockbuster Video while your mom was in a different aisle
Shouldn't you old farts be in bed at this hour?
As someone from a kind of small town who didn't have the internet there was that one local video rental store who carried some stuff (mostly Steamline dubs) and the occasional trip to the mall and Suncoast video.

Elderly people actually sleep less overall than younger people. If you were elderly you'd know this newfag.

Better, because a lot of you people weren't around yet.
