    YouTube didn’t exist when I was a child. One Saturday Morning is what I had. Didn’t even have cable to watch Nickelodeon.

    Did anybody else start out watching anime on the Nintendo 3DS YouTube app? That thing could only load video at a max 144p and you had to infer what the subtitles were saying based on the shape of the blury smear that ueed to be words.

      I used to watch anime and movies on my DS Lite using homebrew, but that was via files downloaded straight to the storage so I could manage 360p!

    Back in my day, you either watched what was on TV, at midnight on Saturday or you had to buy shoddy DVDs from China on eBay, for $50/season, and there was no guarantee that the disks worked. And we were damn thankful for the fact that the DVDs had subtitles.
