Why is this on here? Sorry, I'm missing the context.

Just thought it was interesting—from a design and content perspective—as the site hasn't changed much since 1999 and it still feels like “ye ol' web”.

I appreciated the intent right away. Thanks for sharing.

Yes, a fine specimen.

Ah, okay thanks for clarifying! I thought perhaps there's some special significance to this site that I wasn't aware of.

But how will we ever monetize this!? /s

1. This is a site for weird internet nerds, which has a healthy overlap with people who like cowboy bebop.

2. The site is an excellent example of a small web 1.0 site run by a single person. This is a (possibly a painful) reminder for some that the web doesn't have to be SEO optimized corporate BS, and of a time when the internet was full of wonder and the possibilities seemed endless.

Fan made websites were very popular in the nineties. This one is really well made and recently updated which is really cool. This particular anime has also a cult follwing in the west.

You're on Hacker News and hacker culture has had a significant overlap with anime fandom since at least the 1980s.

Just reminiscing of what the web was before we destroyed it with ad based monetization and responsive design.
