Do you ever get nostalgic, /m/?
Ever think about those days, when you were a kid, and your fascination of mecha was just starting... you would come home from school on a friday, watch Robotech on tv. Then you wouldd go into the local Blockbuster video, you would rent Robot Jox on VHS, get a pizza and a 2 liter of Mountain Dew.
It seems so long ago.....

Fuck yea, my eyes get all watery thinking about the classic /m/ days.
the only giant robot stuff I was exposed to when I was a kid were Voltron and Saber Rider. Not even Transformers aired in my country until Beast Wars. So I'm mostly nostalgic for cheap b-movies about killer robots which I used to watch on vhs all the time.

I was born in 93 and I'm too young to have done any of that stuff aside from going to blockbuster and eating pizza

If you weren't born in at least the 80s, you missed out on the end of the millennium. It was great. You should have been there.
Man, I have fond memories of coming home to watch Beast Wars and Voltron and Speed Racer on TV and eating tuna sandwiches... I don't know what channel was airing both Speed Racer and Voltron in the mid 90's though, but I am 100% sure this isn't another one of my fever dreams.

Nostalgia is a dangerous drug, and addiction for it destroys those with weak spirit.

I miss when Sci-Fi channel would should anime movies every blue moon. I watched Venus Wars when I was a kid and it blew me away. Then I saw Robotech and I was hooked for life.

I never had a vhs nor laserdisc player when I was growing up. If I wanted to watch anime I had to settle for what was being broadcast on tv. So God no, I'm not at all nostlagic for those times. Torrents, dvds, blu-rays, streaming is too good these days to want to go back to the

good ol' days

I know Voltron aired in the 90s because it was the first mecha show I ever sawalthough for over a decade I for some reason thought it was Saint Seiya and I don't know why.
If you were in the USA I want to say that might have been Foxkids, Kids WB, or UPN. I remember seeing like 1-2 episodes of speed racer randomly on public television as well, I just have NO clue what channel it was.
