I’m sure that I had been aware of it for years. I don’t know where exactly I first heard about it, but I must have seen numerous references to it on the internet over time. I recall trying to watch “‘MANOS’ The Hands of Fate” a few times on Youtube or Google Video or something and never getting past the driving sequence at the beginning (it seems so short and tame now to be honest…). I also know that I saw the “Robot Rumpus” short a few times and that I enjoyed it quite a bit. It wasn’t until this past summer when I finally started watching episodes in full on Netflix that I “got” into it. What pushed me into checking it out at long last was a list of shows to check out where it was ranked pretty high.
