In the 1990s, North American TV audiences were getting their first taste of a strange, exciting, new kind of cartoon - produced half a world away, and localized by small teams on shoestring budgets, at the behest of networks desperate to capitalize on a trend they could no longer ignore: Anime. Join three anime fans on a trip back to the time before cell phones, high-speed internet, and streaming TV. We'll play games, watch unique and way out-there shows, and do our best to recreate the feel ...
