Flint's parody ode to being an anime fan in the 90s.
lyrics
Fanboy got Dragon Ball,
Made sure to watch it all,
One garage kit a day,
Got high on model spray,
Mech posters on his door,
Couldn't even see the floor,
Never went to Japan,
What happened to his plan?
He was gonna be an idol,
He was gonna be a star,
Gonna get a replica,
Of Nekki Basara's guitar,
His desk job 8 to 3,
Is now the enemy,
No more D&D nights,
And nothin', has been, all right
Since Akira, Gokudo,
Way before Naruto
There was Van's Escaflowne,
And Sailor Moon on USA,
The newbies in high school,
They tell us that we're uncool,
'Cause we've had our Asian fix,
Since 19, 19, 1996
We've seen all the classics,
Every line we know,
Kenshin, the Slayers, too,
Even Nadesico,
We sang Sana's rap,
Knew all the guys in SMAP,
Thought we'd get a hand,
On a member of Priss's band
Where're the bikinis made of tiger?
And who's that Tenchi clone out screaming bloody murder?
When did that OAV become TV?
Whatever happened to
Tape trades, cel shades,
In the decades since
Akira, Gokudo,
Way before Naruto
There was Van's Escaflowne,
And Sailor Moon on USA,
The newbies in high school,
They tell us that we're uncool,
'Cause we've had our Asian fix,
Since 19, 19, 1996
We hate cuts, make them stop
When did wine and beer become tea and pop?
And when did pirates start using toy guns?
Glad 4Kids was dropped, dropped, dropped!
Now show Akira, Gokudo,
Way before Naruto
There was Van's Escaflowne,
And Sailor Moon on USA,
The newbies in high school,
They tell us that we're uncool,
'Cause we've had our Asian fix,
Since 1996
Akira, Gokudo,
Way before Naruto
There was Van's Escaflowne,
And Sailor Moon on USA,
The newbies in high school,
They tell us that we're uncool,
'Cause we've had our Asian fix,
Since 19, 19, 1996
