Anime, but it wasn't popular yet, most people didn't know what it was. Suncoast video was the only place you could go to buy anime VHS tapes.

Today I'd have been called a weaboo, but back then I was just weird and cringe.

Same. Remember when AnimeNation was the only mail order catalog to buy anime? Not that I had money but I had a catalog which I thought was so cool.

Until people at school stole it and proceeded to bully the fuck out of me.
