It was a subset of an umbrella event called Vocaloid Paradise that happens anually, it's just the Gumi part that happened infrequently. Bought stuff at the request of other people too. You may have noticed an xbox huge post with way too many albums on the front page of this imageboard. They were all bought from that event.
Pic related, *three* Gumi cosplayers who bought stuff from each other at various points.
>80s stuff seemed to have more substance compared to the randomness of later cartoons. Funny you should mention that because 80s western cartoons are considered the dark ages of cartoons because laws regarding advertising to kids got repealed and cartoons became shameless toy advertisements (eg. Transformers, GI Joe). It should be noted that I personally enjoyed watching the transformers, and the point of me saying all this is that everyone has different opinions.
