The Old School Otaku Lounge

It's the first time for me to see it, and I really enjoyed it. It's not without its flaws but this movie is one of my personal favorites.

I mean, G SAVIOR was a joint Japanese-Canadian production and neither cinema industries are bad on their own... Budget matters, sure, but directors and producers can make all sorts of good ...

A long time ago, I noticed when looking through the various pre-2000 anime fansites that some of them are hosted by colleges, which are indicated by their url. I am not an American so I have no idea how can you get permission from your college to create a non-academic website that has the college's...

No, I hadn't and that looks like it would fit the bill! Thanks, _D_!
