RTGame on YouTube has started doing a yearly watch-along of the major game conferences of 20 years ago. Xbox of 2005/2006 also had “1 billion” as a goal back then- they seriously claimed to be able to sell a billion Xbox 360s way back in the day.

(Also, obligatorily “-and Mario will never start shooting hookers.” Nintendo was crazy back then.)

My step-dad got bit by one of these. He can only eat chicken now and it sucks.

Ranma 1/2. From a strict reading of the material, Ranma is not himself trans (he insists he’s a guy even when in female form), but someone that changes bodies from male to female on a regular basis understandably resonants with a lot of trans people.

I personally feel Ranma works better as an allegory for trans-male since that’s what Ranma always identifies as, but for an anime that old it’s still amazing that it exists.
