The Old School Otaku Lounge

Thanks for posting those screenshots, Taruby! I think it's very cool that it's much more like a transcription than narrative prose. Do you know if the story has been collected and published separately from the original magazine run? Regarding Chet Jasinski, I unfortunately do not know him and I am n...

The one subject about Lodoss War that intrigued me, after I heard it, was the Replay novelization. Not so much storytelling from the game, but what does the prose look like?

Very cool! I always love seeing folks' badge collections, even if I they're for shows I've never been to. I didn't realize AX had early shows up in the Bay Area, was that directly related to the fallout of AnimeCon? I'd always associated AX with SoCal, specifically LA (or Long Beach but then remembe...
