Re: Apollo Smile!!!1!1!1
If you were in anime fandom in, say, 1997-1999 you might remember Apollo Smile, the Live Action Anime Girl! Well, she had two whole issues of her own comic book back in the day and they were pretty bad. In fact one might say they were... Stupid Comics. Which Mister Kitty certainly agrees with, beca...

How did old-school fans view the 1977 animated The Hobbit movie?
Two years before Star Blazers, and likely to be on the radar of fantasy fans, if not sci-fi fans. Did people realize The Hobbit movie was animated in Japan? I don't really remember how I would have come across it. Was it a VHS at the library? TV syndication? (Who would have been showing it?) It firm...

Re: What did old-school fans think about digital fansubs?
I'm with you - the preservation game is strong, though right now I am not sure I am preserving too much beyond my own sentiments and nostalgia.
