Here's a Wikipedia index that is a blast from my geeky past

Anime of 1998

I got into anime fandom in 2000, when daughter koe_no_shinda discovered anime during the Toonami block on Cartoon Network and then discovered Wizzywig Collectibles, then dragged me along into fandom with her. That was about the time when most of these shows had been licensed and were on Wizzywig's shelves. I'm looking through this index and see 14 series and a couple movies that I've watched all the way through, along with a number of other notable series, movies, and OVAs that I've watched an episode or two, and many others that I've at least heard of.

As for how I found this index--I'll let the following from tonight's Overnight News Digest on Daily Kos set it up.

The Japan Times: Team finds more Peru geoglyphs

YAMAGATA (Kyodo) A Japanese research team has discovered two geoglyphs on Peru's Nazca Plateau, which is designated as a UNESCO World Heritage site for its gigantic lines and geoglyphs.

The team, led by Masato Sakai, professor at Yamagata University's faculty of literature and social sciences, said Tuesday that the newly discovered geoglyphs appear to represent a human head and an animal.

In 2006, the same team announced the discovery of about 100 geoglyphs on the Nazca Plateau, many in the form of straight lines and triangles.
I am such a geek that when I read about a Japanese team discovering new geoglyphs on Nazca, I first thought of the anime Nazca.

At the bottom of the entry for Nazca was the link to this index. Of course I clicked on it.
