imma be honest with y’all, I was probably around 14 at the time. both my older sister and my older brother are into anime and Japanese culture, they’re both otakus, so of course I was VERY influenced. one day I borrowed my older sister’s hard disk (basically like a bigger memory card) so I could copy some anime to my PC (well the family PC). ...... reply
