What I remember is that during my first year of middle school, I was staying up late studying for a test, and I happened to see the opening of Rozen Maiden on TV, which made a strong impression on me, so I completely neglected my studying and ended up watching the entire first episode.
I have a feeling that the content was an episode where Hinaichigo and Suiseiseki were making sweets together.
End of Century Occult Academy
I think I am one of the younger ones among the nameless.
Outlaw Star
It was an era when late-night anime itself was rare.
I pretended to be tough, so JoJo was my first late-night anime.
SAO that I watched when I was in first year of junior high.
Miami Guns
I thought it was a dream when it happened because of the nature of the situation.
ToHeart, which was broadcast after Uma Nari-kun.
It was Inukami.
I found out later that it seemed to be towards the end of Clannad: After Story.
Super Dagan
Heaven and earth
D.C. (Da Capo)
It was a twilight cherry blossom.
Everyday life I saw in first year of junior high school.
An episode where Chan Mio gets into a dispute with the police.
I happened to watch Fortune Quest L late at night on a Saturday.
Minami-ke
Sister Princess
Masaru-san
.hack
Midnight Anime
I watched “Kisstell” when I was suffering from insomnia in my first year as a working adult.
When I was in middle school, it became a topic at school that they were showing something naughty late at night! So I watched “Ai Yori Aoshi.”
“Smile PreCure is a late-night anime, right?”
I understand that you’re not talking about that.
>>22Well, it’s the founding work of late-night anime.
I think it was probably Code Geass.
It was a supplementary broadcasting station, so it was about a year behind.
I first learned about the existence of late-night anime through Shana.
Since the first time I saw it was in a recording with 3 or 4 programs set, I don’t remember which one it was.
Inukami, The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, or the Gargoyle from Yoshinaga’s House.
I think it was Minami-ke K-On.
I might arrest you, I suppose.
I don’t know about Tokyo, but it was on late at night in my hometown.
>>26It’s Tokyo, but when it comes to arrests, it’s an evening anime.
Nanoha
EATMAN
It’s more like late-night anime.
I have a strong impression of watching the Battle Athletes Victory on Animax when I woke up alone in the middle of the night.
I just found out that it was re-anime-d.
Misaka Mikoto is from the generation of…
Is it possible that the anonymous person is younger than expected?
>>31I feel like there’s hardly anyone who feels young…
>>31It’s categorized as late-night anime, not just regular anime…
I think there are times when we can be a little distant from our age.
>>116The first anime I watched was probably Anpanman.
It was Re:Zero.
I was really shocked because I never thought that they would be airing somewhat erotic anime in the middle of the night during my second year of middle school.
>>32A Relaxed Otherworld Life of a Former Hero Candidate Who Was a Cheat from Level 2
I laughed when I heard it being called “Reiwa Risermine.”
Figure 17
A little after that, Stealthia.
They are the ones who hunt elves, right?
I was disappointed because it wasn’t that erotic.
Galaxy Angel…?
One night, I happened to turn on the TV and watched the first episode of Cowboy Bebop, and it changed my life.
Maybe Fullmetal Alchemist.
I wonder if it was Prisma Illya.
I was in the same grade as Ilya-chan.
Pandora Hearts
I have memories of Madoka Magica.
Late-night anime…!?
The drama version of Devil Summoner: Soul Hackers… it’s not an anime…
Yoshinaga’s Gargoyle
Disk Princess Warukyuuure
Trigun
After that, I started watching late-night anime every day and began to be late to school regularly.
I thought there were a lot of young ones, but then an old one showed up.
Jubee-chan!!!!
Big Edo Rocket
JINKI
Noir
I wonder what made me start watching it…? I got hooked, though.
>>50I am here…
I was captivated by the opening theme, but I can’t remember what made me want to watch it.
>>50It’s nice, isn’t it… both the song and the content.
I wanted a life where I could become Kirika and have a yuri relationship with Mireille.
>>178It was my first time seeing Ali Project, my first time seeing Yuki Kajiura, and my first time seeing Akino Arai in my life.
B-Train… where are you now and what are you doing…
…Lyrical Nanoha…
Maybe it’s The Familiar of Zero.
Wasn’t there a scene where the innkeeper’s sister lets you touch her breasts or something?
Maybe it’s not the first time.
I was able to watch the late-night anime “Higurashi” because I woke up in the middle of the night.
Let’s nupunupu!
Fire Demon Legend
Angel-like Cheeky
HAUNTED Junction
Those Who Hunt Elves
Is it Dejiko or Masaru?
Berserk
I think it was the final episode of Akame ga Kill!
The first Berserk
Lost Universe at a local station.
Even I, who doesn’t care about art style at all, was terrified by the coconut crab.
Whether Gimiabureiku is a late-night show or not.
Love Hina… but I feel like it wasn’t that late at night.
>>66The reckless bravery to confront either News Station or Report Station.
>>66It was definitely around 10 PM, right? Love Hina.
Since I lived in the countryside, it stopped at Aika from Masaru-san.
I envied those living in the city.
>>67Back then, there were significant regional disparities, weren’t there?
>>77It was terrible until streaming became common, so the gap has only closed in the last ten years or so…
Wish
Inachuu Table Tennis Club
The Hokuto no Ken that was being aired with the sponsorship of the pachinko parlor.
In a rural area where there are only 2 or 3 late-night anime series each year, and with no smartphones or subscriptions like there are now, and only three TVs in the house, I was lucky if I could even watch shows like Seed or Eureka that aired during the day.
>>71How big of a family is that…
In Kansai, they used to air “Tomorrow’s Joe” late at night.
Grappler Baki
Chromati High School
Wasn’t “Laughing Salesman” on around 7 to 9 PM?
What I consciously thought about was Masaru-san and Cowboy Bebop on WOWOW.
But I feel like I was watching late-night slots on Animax and Kids Station even before this.
My memory is vague now.
It’s the Idolmaster anime that I watched when I was in elementary school.
The Familiar of Zero
Kami-chu…
Trouble Chocolate
The place where I live received MX, TVK, and Teruma, so it was the best.
The cuter Haruhi
Lain from Generator Gawl
For some reason, they are re-broadcasting Lupin in the middle of the night, just in time.
Farewell, beloved Lupin. That’s what it was, right?
Those Who Hunt Elves
I think it was a rerun on Animax or something, but I happened to see the Madoka Magica ED late at night and it was super scary.
What I remember is only the first .hack, but if it’s about late-night programs, I used to watch Wonderful and then Tonight 2 every week with the volume turned down to 1, covering myself with a blanket to keep the light from leaking out…
Black Lagoon
I happened to turn on the TV in the middle of the night and what was on was “Omamori Himari.”
I was shocked because I was only interested in things like Doraemon and Pokémon.
They didn’t broadcast late-night anime in my hometown…
I tried renting everything.
I feel like it was a side story of Sakura Wars or something.
To be exact, it’s the scene where he falls down the stairs in the final episode of the prequel Cowboy Bebop, but since I’ve only seen that scene, it doesn’t count.
Coming to the city for university and being able to watch Azumanga Daioh in real-time.
I was truly happy.
Excel Saga
The re-broadcast of Digi Charat that aired on summer vacation nights.
For someone living in a rural area with hardly any options for anime, it was too much刺激.
Time-Space Transmigration Nasca
>>98I also happened to see it when I was staying up late as a middle schooler, but honestly, I didn’t understand it at all.
I wonder if I should have become an angel…
>>99Late-night broadcast…? I thought, but it turns out some songs were aired late at night.
Aquarion…?
It feels like I was watching something that aired after Countdown TV…
There are many young people, and I feel out of place.
Because my parents were otaku, I feel like my first work was a bit older than my generation.
I have a memory of being surprised the following week when I saw the original animation after the episode of Aquarion where the animation was all wobbly.
I think it was Evangelion that was being rebroadcast in the middle of the night.
I wonder since when there has been a regular late-night slot for anime that isn’t a rerun.
Maybe a change.
I think it was Toheart that was on when I happened to turn on TV Saitama.
I watched it again the following week, but it was the series finale.
The Fortune Quest that I happened to see was completely static, and I thought it was a broadcasting accident.
People in their 40s are gathering one after another.
My parents’ house didn’t even get TBS, and I didn’t have a TV in my room until I graduated high school, so I hadn’t watched it until I entered university.
There are too many people who seem like they’re from the same generation…
I am in the world of Narue.
In this no-good countryside, private broadcasters don’t air anime at night.
I think the first time I noticed it was when it was on BS11 or something, but I can’t remember what I watched…
It’s either the midnight marathon of Eva or Fortune Quest L…
I don’t remember the first time, but I think it was around Generator Gaul or something like that.
Legend of the Brave
I learned about the phenomenon called “denden” after about 10 years had passed.
I only vaguely remember that a strange monster appeared in the karaoke shop and something like a massacre happened.
I really don’t remember it at all because I just happened to see it when I was a child.
It was the Wonderful Table Tennis Club of Inanaka.
Is it something like “Heaven and Earth”? Or Azumanga Daioh or Hanada Shonen Shounenki?
No one may know, but the Strange Case Files of Ryouko Yakushiji.
When it comes to the Akihabara Electric Town Group, the Kanto people just can’t seem to get along.
>>124There are local broadcasts that air late at night…
Wolf’s Rain
It’s either Hyperpolist or Maze.
I don’t remember which one was broadcasted first.
I feel like about 80% of the people in this thread were born between 1985 and 1990.
Is it a Lemon Angel?
I wonder if it was the ones who hunt elves.
The anime “soltylay?” was my first experience.
I feel like the main characters were an old man and a girl.
>>130When you say “Salty,” isn’t that part of the K-On! crew?
>>141What does that mean…?
I have the impression that you’ve been doing Da Capo for a long time.
I remember it, that is Sister Princess.
I happened to see it and was shocked by the opening.
Lottery Unbalance
Wild monkey
This is Shana III’s first experience watching anime on BS11.
Was it Berserk…
In late-night anime, it’s like “One Step” or something around there.
I have memories of watching Re:Zero at a senior’s house in college.
Surprisingly, there are no one-man armies.
I think I wanted to wake up late at night because of Tetsuwan! DASH rather than anime, reminisces about anime radio.
I think it was Abenobashi and FLCL that I watched on cable TV.
Maybe it’s amazing, Masaru-san.
The only thing I watched all the way through from beginning to end was the theater version of Macross that I happened to see late at night.
I have a memory of something like .hack or Shana.
Was it the case that shows like “Those Who Hunt Elves” and “Master Mosquito 99” were the pioneers of the late-night anime slot?
If we consider late-night anime, it might be Infinite Stratos, I guess…
Or SAO
The last thing I actively recorded and watched was SAMURAI DEEPER KYO…?
You were planning to wake up in the middle of the night to watch some naughty shows, weren’t you!?
>>150A girl and E girl, huh!
>>150Yes
>>150Because if you’re playing Yosuga, you would see it, right?!
>>150I was watching Tonight 2.
>>150I could watch things like Tonight 2 even if it wasn’t that late at night!
>>150If I woke up for that purpose, I realized there weren’t as many erotic shows on late at night as I thought.
>>174When I was little, I would get excited looking at the titles in the late-night section of the program guide.
Once I was able to stay awake, there was nothing but safe options left.
>>174I feel like there used to be more male nudity in late-night variety shows back in the day.
>>150The feeling of watching Gilgamesh Night and Mini Skirt Police with the volume turned down almost to the limit is a bit hard to put into words.
>>188This guy is erotic!
>>188It’s not late at night, but I was watching the adult version of Bokyaten in the same way…
I was always excited and nervous during that time when the commercial for Knight Ramune & 40 was so erotic.
Is it a virus?
DOGDAYS
Ha… Hanaukyou Maid Team…
I have memories of Cowboy Bebop.
I have a memory that there was some trouble that changed the broadcast time.
>>157It originally aired in the evening slot on TV Tokyo, but it ended after one season, and the complete version aired late at night on WOWOW, so maybe that’s it.
It’s an old man who thinks that the anime that’s on late at night is actually Kuriyoshi Yoji’s Mini Mini Animation at 11 PM.
>>158I was一直 mistaken for someone from Gebageba.
Upon closer thought, Kinoshita Renzo’s style has always been quite cute, hasn’t it?
Eva
It seems it was a new Getter…
Local stations broadcast in the evening or, conversely, air in the late night.
I don’t understand the details.
Is there really no one here who is new to Spigra?
Not here…
>>165It’s the weakest board that couldn’t be live-commentated in episode 1.
Fortune Quest
Since it’s an anime that’s on late at night, I thought it would surely be erotic, but…
It was a normal anime without any erotic elements other than the pastel mini skirt.
>>167Since the original work was already extremely famous, I didn’t really understand why it ended up being aired in the late-night slot at that time.
I remember it well because I almost died laughing while watching Excel Saga.
Surprisingly, there aren’t many Devilman Ladies.
Masked Maid Guy
I accidentally fell asleep in the living room, and when I woke up, it was showing some boobs, so I ended up watching until the end.
I can’t quite remember the title, so I’d actually like you to tell me the title!
The protagonist probably fights in a robot, but it’s not a type of robot you enter; rather, a girl rides the robot, while the protagonist boy controls it to fight. Additionally, there is another girl who fights in her own body as an ally in the anime!
>>172Is it a priestess of the month of the gods?
>>172I can only think of types like the non-riding midnight robot or Gad Guard.
>>259Hmm, that’s not it… The robot looks completely different, and it shouldn’t be such an old anime… I also feel like it had a school theme…
>>326Isn’t it Asura Cryin’?
>>341Wow! This is it! The problem that felt like a small bone stuck since childhood has been resolved. Thank you!
Isn’t this Angela singing?
>>326Dancing princess?
The first late-night anime was definitely EATMAN, right?
I remember watching a slightly risqué anime that was paired with some erotic shows, but I can’t recall the specifics.
>>180Aika seems suspicious.
Demonbane, the Roaring Machine God
There was some kind of program on Saturday late night where you could see boobs, but I can’t remember the name of the show at all.
Wasn’t there an anime of Fullmetal Alchemist airing late at night back in the day?
If you were doing it, then that.
I think it was the second season of Rozen Maiden.
Azumanga Daioh
Shana’s changing scene
First Generation East Pigeon
Not many, surprisingly…
>>189The regions where it was broadcasted were like that, and I have the impression that it was tough to watch in real-time on weekday late nights back then…
>>215It’s Sunday, not a weekday over here.
I remember it was broadcast around 4 AM because of the election.
>>189My sister was really into it… I watched it even earlier than that when it first came out…
It’s something like the title of Wolf’s Rain that I was doing when I woke up in the middle of the night.
In Kansai, I used to watch reruns of Vifam and Macross 7 during the Anime Shower time slot.
I have a memory of trying to watch something like Gilgamesh Night and ending up watching Berserk.
Paniponi Dash!
Riku Mao
I’m nervous every time there’s an episode with something erotic in Tonight 2.
>>197Director Yamamoto, was it Thursday?
I remember staying up late just that day.
Don’t rely on me!
I was desperately watching, thinking “What is this pervert?”
It was part 2 of Cowboy Bebop’s Jupiter Jazz.
My brain was burned out from the OP…
Sci-fi Harry and Trouble Chocolate
I don’t have much memory of Mini-Skirt Police being very erotic.
They were occasionally airing OVAs on late-night television in Hokkaido, but I think it was around 1992-1993.
In an anime set in modern times about yokai slaying, a girl gets trapped in a temple and has her clothes torn to shreds.
And then, when I became in my underwear, the crowd of youkai’s faces around me started laughing, leading into a commercial.
Seeing that, the children got so excited that their little things became erect.
Do you not know which anime it is?
There were no corresponding scenes in “Monster Hunter Youko” and “Demon Beast Classroom.”
God Family
I haven’t really watched much late-night anime in real-time.
I usually watched it on recorded videos.
Ziek Axus has reached a level that it has never been before.
