kitchenstaffI both love and hate getting into older media. Getting (official) merch for it is a mixed bag. Like it's either unpopular enough for the merch to be at a reasonable price and a high chance you can't find it easy or so popular that the merch is super expensive but easy(ish) to find. And if you get into something that wasn't even popular enough to get merch, you won't even get any official merch. And if you get into something that was initially unpopular (but still got merch) and then suddenly got mega popular, then good luck finding things that are still cheap.
But I still love getting into older media. Like I have been a VOCALOID fan for 10 years and it's always fun seeing all the new stuff that comes out for the characters, both fanmade and official. But kinda recently (like around the same time last year) I started to get into Sakura Wars and this last month I've been wanting to get physical, official merch and the actual physical media behind the series but all the games are either on consoles that I don't have or region locked (Yes I know that there's a 2019 game on more modern consoles but I only want to play the game after I play/listen/watch all the old stuff first).
The main reason I like 90's/2000's anime a lot is because of the artstyle and also I grew up with some anime from the time. I was thankful for being born in an internet age because I couldn't have watched some cool ass anime without the internet.
