Didn't have a childhood or teenagehood. Was sheltered. Experiencing it now. The EVA figures and fucking frutiger aero bullshit makes me want to shoot myself. Any semblance of substance is being replaced with cheap shit. Need recs for whatever will put me back in 2006-2015: anime recs, tech recs, etc.

All the moeshit essentials. Off the top of my head, azumanga, lucky star, nichijou, k-on, kill me baby, hidamari sketch. I'm sure there are tons more that are on par with these or better but those are the essentials for sure. They will make you smile inside and give you hope for the future

Have switched my usual background show with Lucky Star since I multitask. Have had Azumanga and Nichijou on my list and I'll add the others. Thank you kindly, anon.

Also early 00s adult swim like 12 oz mouse, xra, athf s1-7, also trailer park boys s1-7. CN like clarence, regular show, chowder. These are all pretty surface level picks but they're surface level for a reason.

Would catch these every once in a while when I could get away with it, especially ATHF. Always wanted to get into Venture Bros and Metalocalypse. Tried with the former when it was still airing and my grandfather nearly killed me. Luckily, I'm quite fond of it now and it was my gateway into metal.

Oh yeah, that's super packed. A few I recognize, a lot I don't which is so refreshing. Thank you so much for you contribution and I've definitely got a serious starting point on shows.

Looking to also, possibly, ditch my monitor and peripherals for something chunkier. Ditch the remaining RGB crap in my PC build (very much a cope to get with the times despite not going all out on it). Redo my bedroom so it isn't this souless black and white that I've been taught to love. I have a few figures I got as gifts—am very particular about the anime merch I collect. I have a silly saying that I say to myself when I find merch that I am not familiar with it's origins: "Thou shall not covet a stranger." I even bar myself from downloading wallpaper of a character I don't know. I liken it to people who wear the band shirts of a band they know one song of. I want a deeper connection to stuff than that.
Anyways, I have some stuffed animals, some physical PS4 games that I collected over the years as a cope to the rapid shift of partial ownership via licenses. Got and modded as many older (and newer if possible) consoles as I could to find and downloaded games I played or wanted to play as a kid. Right now, it's Sims 2. It was so lost from my mind thay I thought I dreamed the game up.
I know this sounds absolutely crazy, but any suggestions in making a nest? Having any semblance of a personalized room was also barred. I want a cozy timecapsule cave.

Can't have a midlife crisis if you haven't spiritually aged past 6, lol. Seriously. It's like from then to now, all of that was greyed out and now I'm here. Didn't even have a young adulthood, but that doesn't matter. World was already shit then. Gonna stop personal posting shit though. Considering taking this to /adv/ as well.

Gonna check it out, ty kindly

A few years before your start date but Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex is peak mid 00s anime. Probably the best version of the series, nicely balances cerebral plot lines with action.
Ergo Proxy is solid too.

I forgot about GITS. Also have it on my list and definitely have heard great things. :) Have seen a bit of Ergo Proxy too. Want to actually take it in though, so I may rewatch what I've already watched. Thank you for bringing them both back to mind.

I enjoyed Ergo Proxy, though I viewed it through a similar nostalgic lens to you. Some online friends recommended it to me when it was coming out, but it took me years to actually sit down and watch it (when I wasn't a teenager anymore). I found it enjoyable.
If you're into cheesier anime, I've heard good things about Hellsing Ultimate. I was a big fan of the first anime adaptation when I was in middle school, though it ends on a kind of unsatisfying note due to outpacing the manga.
Thinking about Adult Swim shows of that rough era, if you haven't checked out Samurai Champloo give it a shot. Paranoia Agent was also very popular, but I only caught bits and pieces.
Gurren Lagann is also a goofy delight. I sometimes think of it as this weird high water mark of sincerity before a lot of mainstream anime shifted into isekai indulgence. It has a lot of wild power scaling, but the heroes also suffer legitimate defeats and setbacks, and the series has an oddly mournful tone by the end of it.

They all sound worth checking out, to be honest. I don't want to be picky especially since I haven't seen many animes to like, be picky, lol. Have heard those picks in conversation, but don't know enough to hold a convo, but I will absolutely check them out. Maybe ya'll will see me on /a/ soon :) Thanks for your wonderful suggestions and reviews

Tech: iPods are essential, touch, nano, standard models, anything goes
Flip Phone of any kind that runs a Java OS. Or just any phone from that era.
PSP, PS2/early PS3 models. I'd say go for a PS Vita but the Vitas are so damn expensive.
Anime: >>1514778
you could also add stuff like Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha (peak in my opinion), Melancholy Of Haruhi Suzumiya (Manga, Anime and Light Novels), Elfen Lied, Clannad, or if you want just go on MAL and search for anime lists from the 2000s/2010s. Its a rabbit hole.

If you want to go full on early 2000s vibes, I'd say boot up a Loonix VM and fuck around with themes and shit that isn't necesarily frutiger aero but does fit in the 2000s style.

I finally got myself a Vita this Christmas after going back and forth on it for years and a 3DS. Still really wanting a PS2 and PS3.
> just go on MAL and search for anime lists from the 2000s/2010s.
Had no clue they had lists, woah. That's a shout, thank you so much.
>boot up a Loonix VM and fuck around with themes and shit
am loonix user. before I even saw this post, I was actually looking into wmaker and fvwm for mint (trying to force myself to use a distro for a few months, st least, regularly before switching out, otherwise, Id wanna try slack) today on my laptop for a late 90s feel. but I'd want something a lot later for my desktop

Also thank you for all of the other recs, including iPod. i miss my nano so much and was recently talking with a friend about mp3 players and was hit with major nostalgia. I am definitely gonna check all of these out and am about to scroll MAL's list so I can get a dedicated watchlist going, rather than just using my plan to watch as bookmarks lol
