90s Anime Memes for OG Otakus Who Grew Up with Goku and Usagi on Toonami (April 9, 2025)

The 90s gave us some of the best anime of all time! If you grew up in North America, you're probably extremely familiar with the chokehold that Dragon Ball and Sailor Moon had on both Western and Japanese audiences. You might have also caught Yu-Gi-Oh, Cardcaptor Sakura, and Pokemon on Cartoon Network or Kids' WB in the late 90s.

Yu-Yu-Hakusho, Neon Genesis Evangelion, and Hunter x Hunter (1997) made their debut in Japan in the 90s, but their English dubs were not aired on American television until the 2000s. Still, anime fans could subtitled files online or DVDs at video stores. Still, it wasn't as easy as simply turning on Netflix to watch any show from their massive anime catalogue. I know I endured some cringey fan dubs in the early 2000s to get my anime fix. If this was your childhood or early adulthood, scroll down below for some memes that will take you down animemory lane.

Getting a full night's really does make you feel like all-powerful. However, sleeping too much can have a really similar effect to not sleeping enough…
