I remember buying a TON of anime VCDs back in the day. It's amazing how decent they were up until I started using a flat panel monitor with about triple the res and then questioned what the hell I had been doing for 5 years.

But VCDs appear still to be popular in third-world countries.

VCDs are 27 year old technology by now.

No doubt. Even something a bit blurry is better than nothing. Not going to pretend like I didn't watch a fair share of scan-lined, scrambled porn after discovering what the higher-numbered cable channels ran at midnight.

Same. It was the only way to get some things. I still have some of the ones I purchased that had a Japanese-done English dub where the stuff wasn't butchered. It's strange to hear Japanese speak with a neutral Nebraska accent.
