>used to watch old Astro Boy and read Shounen Jump Monthly almost a couple of decades ago
>now watching Haruhi and anime from the 70’s to 90’s

I don’t think much is changed, but it’s made me appreciate reading manga a whole lot more.

>Final season
Isn't SnK manga still running?

yes, but it's close to finishing. should be finished before the anime finishes airing as it's not starting to air until fall

FMA 2003 and Welcome to the NHK vs. Revolutionary Girl Utena and gembutts lmao
I didn't suspect I'd ever be into shoujo. But then again, I didn't suspect I'd be such a tranny, either.

Various 90s anime got me into anime. I'm currently into nothing in particular. I'm boring, I know.

Left started it, right is where I'm at now
Excuse the crap resolution

why don't you also answer the question, user? what are you into and what got you into anime?
are you proud of how your tastes have developed?

Meh, I don't think it changed that much.

I just pick up shit other anons recommend, I'm not that bothered into doing a lot of research or into niche shit.

what series do you like, user?

HOLY SHIT ARE YOU ME????
SAO will always have a special place in my heart

i think a lot of niche shit is overrated moe garbage anyways
not to say there isn't hidden gems, ofc

Naruto wasn't really my first anime (it was probably something like pokemon or dragon ball), but Naruto was the first anime i watched in Japanese on the internet when i realized there was way more than what cartoon network had. As for the others i just randomly picked whatever felt representative of what i currently read.

I do read smaller series/oneshots as well Omoide Emanon and Hoshi no Koe were recent reads that were pretty good but I don't want to reference random small manga that nobody reads.

Naruto was my official gateway into downloading fansubbed anime, though I think I had some false starts with Pokemon or Sailor Moon.

But I think watching Lupin III on television in my early teens influenced my current taste the most. I mainly watch older anime with the odd new show every now and then.

I started with Pokemon and Digimon and the only ongoing anime I'm watching at the moment are Pokemon and Digimon.

It's not as if my tastes never changed, I went through my phase of hating the Pokemon anime and only watching cool seasonal mature stuff, but it just got to a point where it felt like I was just watching the same thing over and over again with a different coat of paint every month. I only really watch originals these days, most of which are kids shows. Otherwise I'd rather just read manga.

Saint Seiya

Kimetsu no Yaiba
EVA films

I'm currently contacting the based department

bobobo bo bo bobo

sports anime, but i know nothing is better than Joe

Unironically Tenchi Muyo GXP thought it was the coolest shit when I was a kid. Now I'm looking for a WW2 show that doesn't have magical children or children fighting in general.

I mostly watched battle shonen as a kid and even after getting into anime that wasn't just on TV (RuroKen, YYH, DBZ, etc). Recently I've been watching and reading slice of life and magical girl series (reading Yuru Camp and watching Heartcatch Precure among other things). At the very least I look for stuff to watch and read more than I used to. Even though I had internet as a kid after a little while I never read scanlations or watched fansubs very much, mostly just for One Piece and to some extent Bleach, and so didn't branch out very much back then.
