Actually when you said "90s generation" the first thing I thought of were the kiddies who were being born when I was a teenager :P

and btw, I was born in 89. I consider 90's generation as people born from about 85-early 90's. Anybody born more than halfway into a decade should really consider themselves as a member of the following decade's generation (IMO),

I kinda do too. The definition within my paper is people born 1987 to 1994. I'm calling them the "90's kid anime generation." "Kid" being derived from Kid'sWB! I'm investigating how kids 5 to 12ish, watching anime on networks like Kid'sWB! and FoxKids , have grown into a kind of generational window within anime. This little questioning on the org was to see if kids within this generation self-perpetuate it. That it's not just me...when we think about the 90's generation, we think about what we watched on these networks and define our generation that way...when others outside of it think other ways. It's always been an assumption among most of my friends, so I'm just trying to put it in writing. :uhoh: Uhhh...so much to write....

1993? :(

i wanna be a cool 90's kid too!

Well, if i'm a 90's kid, then to number 4 I say that it's a pretty good relationship. Even people who really fucking hate nerds and anime in general and that style and weeaboos and basically the "cool kids" still get excited about dragonball z and yuyu hakusho and all that toonami stuff. At least around here.

I was born in '92, and I would say that I got in to anime before the early 2000s (although I didn't consider it "anime", to me they were just another cartoon)


I watched Gundam Wing, Sailor Moon, DBZ, Ruroni Kenshin, Tenchi Muyo and the like religiously in the 90s to the early 2000s. (I got up at 6 in the morning on Saturdays just to watch Pokemon.) Then I discovered they were "anime" and that's what piqued my interest in the genre. So I have to disagree with some of the above comments. (My first anime was Kimba the White Lion, in the mid 90s I think? I was really young.)

Pretty much the same thing for me. I knew a few guys in high school who watched stuff on Cartoon Network, but I was the only one really into it. Heck, the Best Buy and b&n in my parent's area still mainly stocks the shows and manga that I had to special order in their anime/manga sections.

It is kind of interesting, and I wonder how my parents would react to the realization, that the grand majority of the cartoons I grew up on as a kid, especially religious ones, were actually anime. The Flying House.... Super Book.... I remember waking up super early on Sunday/Saturday mornings, rushing downstairs grabbing a rubber gabble and watching these in the family room before my parent's would wake up. Though despite that I still consider Sailor Moon my true gateway as it was the first show I actively seeked out and paid for fansubs for. Ah the days of mailing a money order and then waiting weeks before a box came with a bunch of VHS tapes....

Though by the time I got to college it was pretty easy to find anime and people into it. But I often attribute that to going to college in a major metropolitan area vs rural Kentucky. I never had issues finding new and obscure series when I was in college nor when I visited my grandparent's in Detroit. After all, it was my friends who lived here in Detroit that ultimately dunked me head first into anime fandom.
