Nostalgia For the Weirdest Things....

have you ever gotten nostalgic for something and wondered why?

I have, and am experiencing such a feeling now.

If you ever saw the original "Waka Laka For Osaka" video, it's been removed from Youtube, but there's a re-upload (which is almost as old as the original, which was from 2005) that I found, and I've watched it like seven times tonight.

-gets stuck in my head-

I fucking hate you.

I know, Aondeug, I know.

But fuck you, cuz FUCKING WAKA LAKA 8D

I should explain, the original video, which was shown to me back in 200-and-fucking-7, was the thing that got me into anime as a medium. So my nostalgia does have a reason, but it's still weird.

I have some serious nostalgia for the DDR sound effects in the video. I spent like all of my middle school years obsessively playing every entry in the series I could get my grubby little hands on.

Holy shit.

I just found out that Aquiline Studios still exist, and they still make videos.

this is their website

I am fucking happy as fuck right now.

Shit is so swag.

Hehe.

They have a new video called "An Anime Squideo".

*downloads*

Something similar happened to me about a month ago with this:

Someone linked it, five years ago, on a forum I frequented at that time. Good times there, but I moved on... and now I stumbled upon it when looking up AM Vs. It felt like a timetravel. *sniff*

I get nostalgic about the Amanda Show. For the past, I don't know, ten years of our lives my brother and I have been quoting the Blockblister skit everytime we went to blockbuster. We'd totally forgotten where we'd heard it untill I found it on youtube. Man, the memories.

I got incredibly nostalgic about a 90's Disney Channel TV film called Zenon: Girl of the 21st Century, and so I absolutely had to find it on youtube and watch it.

I also get nostalgic for internet browser games I played as a kid, no matter how crappy or childish they are.

Has anyone but me ever played Area Flat or its Even Better Sequel, the creatively named Area Flat 2?

It was on bonus.com before whatever happened to them happened.

I'm sorry, I'm afraid I haven't.

I get nostalgic for The Sims 1. Even the the second game is so much more fun, and the third game too, that was like my childhood. I found the soundtracks on You Tube and it was so nostalgic.

I miss when youtube had stars, and was all about "funny fat guy gets hurt LOL".

I can't tell if that song is in Japanese or English. @.@

I have nostalgia for the ads that used to be on this VCR tape we had of Disney's animated Robin Hood movie. We would watch the tape about once a year. It was taped almost 20 years ago near Christmas, and the ads on it are just so different in tone to the ones we have now.

Other things, also found on the edges of old VC Rs, include a very short snippet of some anime that I forget the name of. In this snippet, all hell was breaking loose, and some guy was arguing with his girlfriend. He said "You have to understand!" and she cried "I don't understand! I'll NEVER UNDERSTAND!" in this whiny voice that I used to find hilarious.

Also, the dried up exoskeletons of cicada nymphs. I loved those things. I still can't see one clinging to a tree without feeling an urge to pull it off and play with it.

Rewatching old VHS tapes. Something about watching a movie or a tv show with a print that's starting to fade brings some warm fuzzies. Same for flipping through old comics (even ones I may have never owned upon their initial publication) and running across an ad for a much-paraded product that has since faded into obscurity, or for a movie or video game that we and the execs once thought was going to be big, but has since been proven many times over to be so many levels of awful, gives me a little bit of nostalgia-induced chuckle.

I got nostalgic for Neopets one day, so I decided to make another account there. I'm medicalbonk if you want to find me.

I get nostalgic reading sprite comics, you know, those webcomics that used old video game sprites like from the NES, SNES, Sega Genesis, etc.? I used to read them all the time back in the early 2000's, specifically back in 2001 or 2002 (I think) until about 2007. Since then, few times I've gone back to read some of them, but now, in 2016, it's been a long time since I completely read one. I wonder if they still make sprite comics, somehow, I don't think so because Youtube exists. I used to read them until I came across Youtube and the Angry Video Game Nerd.

I get nostalgic over Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, particularly the first route's theme.

Also, Baby Looney Toons. It's theme song...

And Zoboomafoo. I miss that show...

Like some of you have said, I get nostalgic over computer-related stuff

But I'm wondering, did anyone else here ever play Humongous Entertainment games? Or the I Spy games? (I Spy: Treasure Hunt was my favorite! )

That's not a weird thing to have nostalgia for.

God, Zoboomafoo, that takes me back to like 8-12 years old.

I miss a documentary narrated by Derek Jacobi (in English at least, I saw it in Hungarian), called The Velvet Claw, about the history of the order Carnivora (aka the mammalian predators).

Here is the intro music (in pretty good quality, mind):

. .. ...

WAIT IT HAS A REMASTER MADE IN 2017?! *.*

Anybody remember Caramelldansen?

I read the word Caramelldansen and the chorus went on in my head to the point where I had to start to (try) to sing it (I don't speak a word of Swedish so glad no Swedes were around me or their ears would have suffered xdxd)
