Those were all so good. Aeon Flux (even though it was American), Akira, and Ghost in the Shell got me into Anime.
That was also an incredible time for sketch comedy with The State!, Kids in The Hall, and Upright Citizens Brigade. You could just leave MTV on and always get something good.
Then they had to learn how much money they could make off reality tv with The Real World, and everything went to shit. It’s a damn shame.
My favorite sketch show of all time, believe it or not. I'm squishing your head.
Even the first Real World was a lot better than later years of MTV. I think one thing that MTV never gets credit for is helping to normalize homosexuality in US culture, which they did by always having a gay cast member in the show.
Did Kids in the Hall run on MTV? Damn I feel super old rn.
