The Old School Otaku Lounge

I have a DVD backlog about that long with things I've owned for almost that long, same with material on my external HD. Farscape is my evening show before I fall asleep for right now, then I need to get back into finishing Twin Peaks. Anime should be in that at some point. I got little projects to w...

That's kinda how Animazement has become. Last year I only went because Robert Woodhead wanted me on his AnimEigo panel to be a talking head, so my cost for the ticked and hotel were covered, can't complain with that and very grateful for it. I felt like I barely got to meet with you when the year p...

Surprisingly to me, Galaxy Rangers is a really well done series. I bought a couple of DVDs used a while ago and watch them and I was pretty engaged in what I saw. I'm not sure how I would feel about Bravestarr (probably not much), but I haven't seen much on Saber Rider/Bismark other than MIO doing t...

Your report reminds me of what conventions have largely become for me - An excuse to travel to the opposite side of the country to hang out with friends - and less meeting guests, attending panels and being introduced to new anime. I didn't start attending conventions until 2009 (parents would have...

I've kinda had the opposite in seeing anime in theaters to you guys, as in I saw whatever came out which is newer and ive gone back to see older films at a Regal in Greenville SC i'll drive up too to see whatever they got. I want to say my first anime film was Pokémon the Movie in middle school, and...

There's a toy shop near Greer that has the Mazinger Z in the display case, I got to fiddle with it a few weeks back before they put it out there. Their asking price for it is 300.

Momocon just cancelled as well. I will say this that for people who entered into the AMV competitions, the organizers are doing Twitich streams of the finalists. I've submitted a piece of work for many cons this year and ive been getting on the finalist list, so last weekend Anime Detour did theirs ...

As far as I know, there hasn't been an anime convention that's had to make the decision to cancel without a city or state gathering ban already in place. IF, and this is a hypothetical, if a convention was forced to make the decision to shut down without the benefit of force majeure as a cover, the...

The Raleigh Convention Center has barred all events till the end of May, meaning that gets Animazement out of their contract. They say they might "postpone" their con, but I think its inevitable to just move the con till next year, which is fine with me, more money saved. I got a feeling that AWA is...

I remember asking that question to Toshifumi Yoshida years back at Animazement, and from what I gathered he's gotten completely out of the anime industry, but works somewhere in the media market. So in a sense he kinda fell of the radar, and there's no way to get in contact with him afaik. Although ...
