shyt was special when it first aired on cartoon network. I was around the perfect age I think to appreciate it too. Middle school. No youtube, no wikipedia. Just dialup internet, geocity sites, aol chatrooms, and pojo.com. I had no idea what the android saga was going to be about but I was just finally glad to get there (feels like they replayed the namek/frieza saga like 3 times before they finally moved on). I still remember being blown away when Trunks murked them dudes. I went outside and spent like an hour at the park talking about it with this white kid that lived a few doors down. We were theorizing all kinds of random shyt to explain how Trunks was a super saiyan. I remember thinking it might be a trick/magic
The reveal of him being Vegeta and Bulma's jit had me.........
Then after the episode where Trunks revealed he was from the future to Goku, I ran outside to go find that cac so I could have someone to talk to about it
I couldn't wait to find out what happened after that so I started going on sites like pojo and spoiling shyt for myself....but still that reveal worked its magic the way it was intended to on me
u know u old school if u remember pojo website
Planet namek site
man I know anime is more mainstream now but man toonami and dbz after school was massive hit back then
the last anime that blew up worldwide was dragon ball super with damn parks and stadiums watching the later episodes and breaking the internet and shyt where u couldn’t get on
Sure more popular anime out but none I can recall had thousands watching a event or shutting down anime sites
Not one piece or demon slayer or jjk unless I’m wrong
