So very cool to see some of these. Still blows me away what fans were talking about in the 80s and 90s that didn't have domestic releases until much later or not released at all.

Agree that digital can be very transient and in a way, print is king, but man, closet and attic space is so limited...

One more who has started watching Eizouken . Like all of the characters but man, do I identify with Kanamori way too much... I've also started watching Slam Dunk after years of not taking the chance, despite all of the recommendations I've had for it. Enjoying the series but the transfer (on Crunchy...

I want to say that AnimEigo and Pioneer also did this (I am thinking of their respective You're Under Arrest and Fushigi Yuugi releases). Occasionally, fansubbers would do this, too (I think my CTennosaur B'tX tape does this, too). I think often times, it might have depended title to title rather th...

I like it a lot but really, my wife and I love those types of dumb shows ( Kitchen Nightmares , Res...

Huh, WordPress's scheduled posting feature is broken - I had this article scheduled to post a couple of weeks ago but it never posted. So, while you (may) be recovering from your turkey coma, have a look at this Free Talk segment about the infamous Son May (and others!) - Not Bootles As in Undergrou...

I'm part way through your Halloween episode but one thing got me - did you get new theme music? (I really dig it)

New podcast episode up earlier this week at Akihabara Renditions, this episode we break from our usual review format to discuss Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam!
