As a n00b like me who didn't watch TTGL when it was airing at its peak i can't help but catch a major case of FOMO looking at them. Anyone who was around at that time how was the attention it got?

I didn't watch it when the TV anime aired either, but it was still everywhere when I got into anime 1.5 years later cuz of the movies

I couldn't get into it personally, but then I'm generally not a fan of post-Eva Gainax/Trigger :sweat2:

when TTGL first came out, at least in the english speaking world it was just like any other anime.

Anime back then wasnt anywhere near as mainstream, it was a big meme chans but it wasnt comparable to how people talk about Jojo today. it was just a good anime.

I remember that it was hard to get merch at first, i dont think they anticipated as many people would enjoy it. For me, the world was captivating and the robots inspired me a lot more than Gundam. (´ー` )

After 4550-san's post, I should clarify that by "everywhere" I meant "everywhere online that was centered around anime". You wouldn't hear about anything anime related unless you went looking for it or happened to have a friend who was into it :sweat2:

This.
Even a massively popular anime back then was still not big enough to be known by the wider public. ヽ(´ー｀)ノ

Where I live, finding anything anime related mid 2000 was like finding gold.

I was there in the thread when it was airing weekly. Shit was wildly hype and there was crazy competition with Code Gayass which was airing its first season at the same time. The hate which Rossiu got during the second cour was incredible. It was a ride.

I figured as much that, it was popular amongst the anime communities at the time rather than it being massive popular amongst non anime fans. Even pic related like the kamina glasses was a big fad that never seemed to go away. Even the fact that a suggestion for a new flag was a ttgl reference shows it's influence. Wish I could've been there. :cry:

ttgl was inescapable if you were in any circles that were into anime

and a handful of more normal audiences might have referenced shit like Kamina's shades or ROW ROW FIGHT DA POWAH

honestly, it's still a fucking great show so like go watch it anyway
maybe not quite as 11/10 perfect as I thought it was all those years ago, but fuck man, even among the sort who were like "lol Getter Robo ripoff" - you could do much worse than ripoff something as cool as Getter and do it well :cool:
it is an 8/10 at its worst (apart from the one episode where everything is off model and backgrounds were too much effort to draw :biggrin: )
