What I don't understand about Weeaboo is that there continues to be new generations. I wasn't nearly as intense as some, but I still felt like I was on Ground Zero of that culture invasion, so even barring Weeaboo parents passing it down to their spawn, I'm like, "What - how?"

    I don't understand: what or when was "ground zero" for Weeaboo culture? What constitutes Weeaboo culture? I remember in the '80s people having bootleg VHS cassettes of Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind, Robotech, and others, not to mention the children's series that invaded during that time: Voltron, Sherlock Hound, etc.... And that was just the '80s.

      The '80s-'90s is what I'd consider "ground zero" for Weeaboo culture, though I would lean more towards the '90s. Voltron certainly comes to mind, but the "weeaboo" aspect of it all seemed more of a Sailor Moon, Inu Yasha, Yu Yu Hakusho, etc sort of deal. Having Toonami really stirred it up by making it all a lot more accessible. I could be wrong, of course, that's just kind've how it always struck me!
