I was there when it hit rec.arts.anime for the first time. I was just getting into anime at that time, and I fell into it. I'd seen bits and pieces of stuff and was slowing getting into it, but... then this hit.

There are still storekeepers in Chinatown in NYC who perspire heavily when I walk into the area, because they KNOW I'm going to ask for something completely bizarre.

(Oh, Gryph, did you see they rereleased a bunch of the old, old, first-gen Transformers? You can get that Megatron you wanted years ago now...

....I got mine coming.)
