re: #222 Targetpractice

I got into anime in the 90s, back when the joke still was “Crack is cheaper.” It was that transition period, when series were beginning to actually show up with subtitles as an option on DVDs and mangas were making that slow transition from comic store novelties to acceptable bookstore fare. People just now getting into anime don’t realize how hard it used to be to get into a new series that was anything less than six months old.

This conversation reminds me of going to Japan in the 80’s. “Grey” was my introduction to manga. Wish someone had done an anime of that one. Made Cowboy Bebop look like all flowers and unicorn rainbow farts :)
