Discussion 22

Welcome to DISCUSSION!

Hi, everyone! Once a week, I'm going to give you a topic. All players need to do is give their opinions/stories/comments on said topic. There's nothing really formal about this, but you'll get cards for answering regardless. There's no requirement about how big or detailed of an answer you give, but try to avoid one word answers! (This is about talking, after all.)

This week's topic is NOSTALGIA.

A question you could answer (but are not limited/required to) is what anime/game/tv show/book/etc. series did you love when you were younger, and do you still enjoy them now? Or have you realized what terrible taste you had as a child and you can't believe younger you was into that stuff. Maybe it's not a series at all but something you just remember doing fondly in the past, or a sport or celebrity or activity you used to like. What makes you nostalgic?

You'll get 2 regular cards and 1 puzzle card for commenting. Prizes will be distributed throughout the week and this game ends on ~~Tuesday, February 3rd.~~ CLOSED.

Pretty much all the things I am really into now (Silent Hill, Biohazard, Yu-Gi-Oh) where from when I was a kid, so I still enjoy them a lot now. As far as thigns I was into and no longer am? Uh.. Sorry, Naruto. It's not that I hate it though, its just I would read it when It was first published in the comics, then I remember the first season of the anime. Outside of that though, I decided I wasn't interested in Ninjas. I never was so idk why it took me so long lol. I mean, a lot of things make me nostalgic I guess? but pretty much just the things I still like are worth mentioning IMO.

I started a ton of series just because I had them - e.g. I subscribed to Shonen Jump for a couple years so I read Naruto that way - and looking back it's like lol why did I even bother.

I'm still way into Sailor Moon! It's been since I was.. idk, about 8 or 9 or so all the way into now, so that's definitely a good kind of nostalgia.. although there's also plenty of series I was super into as a kid where I'm now just like "ah, that sure was a thing" at.. like Medabots and basically every single one of those collectibles anime they broadcast on tv way back in the day.

I LOVED MEDABOTS my brother had a GameBoy Advance Medabot game I would always steal and play?? I guess it's a lot easier to entertain kids with that kind of stuff haha. (We also loved Beyblade and Yu-Gi-Oh and stuff like that. Good times. So much money wasted on toys.)

I was a really big Sailormoon, Beyblade and Gundam Wing fan. I say I totally love Sailormoon still and I am enjoying the remake. As for Beyblade I am sticking with the first season. I don't do much with it anymore though still when I come across a picture I can't help myself to search the subject. As for Gundam Wing, I have to admit that I will read a fanfic so now and then about the Gundam Pilots.

Sailor Moon is one of those forever series, imo. Even if I haven't watched an episode in like 10 years I'll still reblog art/gifs on tumblr and stuff haha. And Crystal's release definitely rekindled my Sailor Moon love.

i'm i'm extremely nostalgic it's not even funny. watching something from when i was a little kid will get me teary eyed. i loved ccs, sailor moon, medabots, digimon, beyblade, shaman king, yugioh, the list can go on and on. it's really fun rewatching shows again now that i'm older though. i think i had pretty decent taste as a kid. ah and i can't even get started on games tbh i spent most of time as a kid indoors in front of the tv

Yessss, all the old anime that used to be on TV. I've got DVDs for some of them like Yu Yu Hakusho and Outlaw Star and half the time I'll watch the dub not the sub because it feels weird not hearing the crappy 90s English dubs lmao.

neon genesis evangelion!!!!!!! i have to rewatch it like once a year, it's such an iconic series ofc but i love it a lot for personal reasons too. i think everyone feels that way about it, which is great since it's such a wonderful series/franchise.

I STILL haven't watched NGE even though I tell myself to all the time. I've watched those new movies and I read part of the manga ages ago, but I never sit down and watch the original series. :/ Everyone always talks about it though so I really need to watch it soon.

i honestly get really nostalgic for alot of series i loved as a kid. like sailor moon, ccs, ygo, pokemon, digimon etc. i still really love them alot and the everytime i rewatch i find myself still really entertained just as much as when i was a kid. last time i rewatched sailor moon i got really emotional haha..

I think most people are like that about old TV shows, I know I definitely am. There's plenty of good stuff now but sometimes it's like MAN WHY CAN'T ANIME BE LIKE IT WAS IN THE OLD DAYS meanwhile I'm thinking of crappy censored English TV dubs or something lmao like no self that's not good.

a really nostalgic series for me is naruto... it's the thing that got me into anime and i have a huge soft spot for it. also ofc pokemon, i still have a ton of the trading cards.

Oh yeah, the series that got people into anime is usually a big one. I can't remember specifically what got me interested but it was definitely the stuff on TV like Pokemon and Sailor Moon. (I still have all my Pokemon cards in a binder somewhere too, haha.)

I watched lots of ojamajo doremi when I was young and I remember having so many coloring books of the girls and how much I used to love them! I was that kid who studies a lot so I didn't watch much TV but I also enjoyed courage the cowardly dog a lot of things on cartoon network aa I can remember the days when I rewatch these shows sometimes u-u)9

Oh man I haven't even heard of Ojamajo Doremi before but looking it up it looks exactly like something younger me would've loved, haha. Cartoon Network had some of my favorite shows too, Courage the Cowardly Dog is really good, I rewatched a bunch of eps on Netflix recently and it holds up even now.

Yep!! Gotta love them magical girl anime! And yess that's true I'm really glad they have it on Netflix it gives me something to remember about my childhood when I'm bored. Also, thank you! <3

When I think of nostalgia items I think of the games I played as a kid and the books that had me holding my breath as I read them. One of the reasons I even wanted a 3DS is so I could play Mario and Donkey Kong again, without having to bother with a Wii (I don't like the controls). And then there are the M.C. Sumner books I keep wanting to refind somewhere but can't. Especially The Dark. There was this passage of the book where the lead character literally wiggles between rocks and almost dies that I couldn't stop reading because I literally held my breath with her.

Aaaaaah good times!

Haha some series are fun no matter how old you are, Nintendo's good for that imo. And I love rereading old books I enjoyed as a kid, I recently dug out my old Royal Diaries books to reread some of them because even child me was a huge nerd. :/

nostalgia... a more emotional subject for me honestly, it reminds me of the days when i still had zero care in the world and was able to do whatever i want haha. i was an avid inuyasha watcher (still am; love the series!) - my mom and i watched all the episodes together along with pokémon! she used to brag that she was the coolest mom because she watched that show. i love to read, and wow i read so much when i was younger too. time warp trio was an absolute favorite along with those american girl stuff -w- ... ah how it would be nice to be that age again. too much adult stuff to worry about nowadays.

ohhhh my gosh I remember The Time Warp Trio, I'd completely forgotten about that. and I loved the American Girl series too (I had a Felicity doll, man, I wonder where that is). but I know what you mean, I wish I had time to reread/watch/play all this stuff I remember liking when I was younger, but alas. Not enough time in the day. :c

Not much, I didn't get into anime and real games and things till I was a little older. But I loved Gundam Wing and gamewise, Final Fantasy 8!

FF8 is one of my favorite Final Fantasies still, it was the second one I played after FF7 haha. That game gets a bad rap in the FF fandom.

i've played ffiv like a hundred million times in my life bc it never gets old. it was the first ff game i ever played and it's a perfect game tbh!

i've been working at an elementary school the past month and i always see the kids reading books i read when i was their age. it makes me want to reread them, mostly bc in some of them i had no idea what was going on bc of pop culture/religious references.

I've got a whole list of books I'd read ages ago that I want to reread at some point, like Sabriel and the Percy Jackson series (lmao that one's not even that old but I never finished the series, so.) If only there was more time in the day to get through this stuff!

I didn't start anime watching until I was in my late teens. I mean, I watched Sailor Moon as a kid, but it was the DiC version and I didn't recognize it as "anime". I just thought it was another awesome cartoon. I really like "nostalgic anime" though. My "Gateway" animes hold up surprisingly well some 15 years later.

Sailor Moon, Trigun, Gundam Wing, Rurouni Kenshin, Slayers. i'll go and watch them over and over because they were just so good.

haha gateway anime is a good way to describe it. I feel like a lot of old series like that are really good in my opinion but I never know if it's like, because the series is ACTUALLY good or my nostalgia is clouding my judgment.

I get SOOOOOOO (HEART CLENCH SINGLE TEAR) OVER ANIME MUSIC. Whenever old openings or anything come up on shuffle I feel like EVERYTHIGN I'VE EVER FELT EVER IN THE WORLD all at once. Time is so wild......
Pretty much everything I love now is from when I was itty bitty. I'm constantly rewatching/reading/playing my faves = v =

yoooo I know exactly what you mean, I'll listen to an old anime OP or something and be like "this isn't even that good BUT IT'S SO AMAZING." it's weird what kind of crap you'll let slide just because you loved it when you were younger. (I still love Tenchi Muyo even though I couldn't care less for harem series like ??? ok self.)

When I was little I had sooo many games and books I loved and I still look back on them fondly...videogame OSTs get me real emotional haha
As for anime I LOVED Cardcaptor Sakura and Digimon so much and then later stuff like YYH and Slam Dunk, one of these days I really want to set aside some time to rewatch/reread/replay all the things I enjoyed so much when I was younger...
Sometimes when I listen to music I acquired eons ago I'm like "I can't believe I used to like these things!!" and I get soo embarrassed, so that's my tale of regret for you lmao

Middle school/early high school music tastes truly are a lesson in regret haha, there's some stuff I still enjoy now but a lot of it is like...why, younger self. Why.

I still like everything I liked when I was younger, WHOOPS. I watched Pokemon and Digimon when I was in Elementary School, and then I started watching Cartoon Network when I was 12. I watched Inuyasha, Kenshin, .hack//SIGN, all that stuff. And COWBOY BEBOP which is still my favorite anime. I'm not really as into Kenshin and the original Fullmetal Alchemist anime, but I don't dislike them or anything.

Adult Swim/Toonami had the BEST stuff, a ton of my favorite series I first saw on Cartoon Network. I remember having to convince my dad to let me stay up Saturday nights because Wolf's Rain was on at like 1AM. I can't believe that was so long ago...
