SEPHI HAKUBI PRESENTS: ATTITUDE ERA OF ANIME
Date(s) - Sunday 7/14/2024 2:00 PM - Sunday 3:00 PMDescription
Most of today’s fans consist of otakus who grew up in the Golden Age of Anime in America when tapes were traded, laserdiscs were ordered from Japan, and the content was ultraviolent, ultrasexy, and ultraexpensive with only 2 episodes per $100 volume (subtitles not included). Around the time we could get our anime from a place called Suncoast or require DSL to see unreleased fansubs from Japan, and the biggest anime cons that you can think of today were more humble and intimate back then, when there was no such thing as “cos-famous”, friends used message boards to arrange meetups, and “Cosplay Is Not Consent” was not something that had to be said, it was already common sense. Sephi and Ame Hakubi spend an hour talking about what it’s like being a Generation Y anime fan and shares some relics from the past to bring back the nostalgia.
