    It definitely didn't help that I watched the final episodes at like 8AM having stayed up all night, but yea even going back a few years ago that's a little to avant-garde for me.

    I'll definitely have to check out the retconned version, I didn't realize that 3.0+1.0 was the final movie.

    I watched Toonami as a kid but never really got into the anime that was airing, but I marathoned Evangelion in one night in middle school which left me hating anime for a while after the ending.

    A friend was working at an anime convention after I graduated high school and I figured I had the time so why not check it out. That lead to countless recommendations which I binged after the convention, and also made me check out subs when I had no idea there were so many other shows that were never dubbed.

    Anohana was the one that I think really turned me on to anime fully. Up until that point I had just watched some action and comedy shows, even Western ones, so crying at that really opened my eyes to other genres that I'd been turning away from.

    I worked for various cons for 6 years after that and it truly changed my life in many ways, good and bad. Though I've stopped going to cons and stopped buying merch, I watch 5-10 anime a season now usually and still keep in touch with a few of the people I met working the cons.

    Definitely mine as well. Most grocery stores I've been to will slice it paper thin if you ask, and that's my preference for sandwiches. I recently ate at a restaurant which had smoked gouda and ricotta fritters, and I definitely have to figure out a good recipe for those now.
