How... How did...
Fansubbing on VHS as a concept first of all is making my head hurt, and that's how you got them?
I, what?
HOW.
What is this witchcraft?!
When the internet was still a child... late '90s, I searched and found a guy in Florida with a website distributing them upon request. It took a month for him to get them to me, but eventually stopped because it was sapping all his time.
Ahh yes. Old people like myself did weird things. I also used to record songs that characters sang in shows with a tape recorder held up to the T.V. speakers so I had the songs whenever I wanted.
Notably songs from Animaniacs, Super Mario Bros. 3, Whose Line is it Anyway (UK Version)... and other odd and end funny songs that were in shows that I liked.
