Re: What are you Watching?

Re: William Chow's vodcast series, History of Fan Anime in North America
Still going on- inspiring :!: Lately he's been interviewing other old-school fans, but this has brought up a common struggle, which is that some folks who are big fans of animated girls became that way due to their adversarial relationship with actual girls :lol: This isn't a gender-specific problem...

Re: Crunchyroll to stop offering free option for newer anime
It looks like they've locked up everything -- does Crunchyroll offer any ad-supported free shows anymore? I'm not against subscriptions, but this might be a barrier for younger fans who don't have an easy way to pay for access. Supposedly now they have a "limited" amount of free titles non...

Any news on Kay Shapero?
I guess for a long time she played the supporting role to Fred Patten, anime-wise, but I noticed that her website is down; anyone know if she is OK?

It also helps confirm the opinion of the reviewer, that Blade Runner did not deserve the praise it received. :lol: Ma...
