Good vibes. This is one of the few animes I would stay up anticipating back when it aired on Toonami or was it Adult Swim?. Like around 2006 or 7, can't really remember.
I think I reminisce on these times more now that we are reaching the Christmas season, around when you'd get a week or two of school and have all the time in the world. Staying up till 2 AM, idling till reruns come back on, just passing the time.
Inuyasha and the OG FMA were the same way. Series I fell in love with long before I knew what anime was. At the time I I thought it was mature cartoons(hence the late airing slot, which I associated with cartoons directed at an adult audience) that followed a storyline, rather than be episodic.
Just anime and snacks like the outside world didn't exist. Life felt simpler in a way you don’t really notice until years later.
