The Old School Otaku Lounge

After watching Mobile Suit Gundam: Witch From Mercury, I was instantly interested in going back and seeing all the Gundam I missed previously, considering I didn't know much at all about the franchise previously. So I'm starting with G Gundam. And... oh wow, it is not what I was expecting. Granted, ...

Legend of the Galactic Heroes is a very special series for me. Not only was it a huge part of my tastes changing towards more cerebral, character-driven stories, but I watched it almost literally right as I was starting college, so I associate it with some very big changes in my life. So I was reall...

For some reason, I didn't realize that the podcast was available on Google Play (for some reason it's the only thing that will work on my cheap garbage phone). As someone with a deep fascination about This Sort of Thing, thanks for helping to keep stories like these alive. The interview struck a gre...

Agh, some of those Gintama shirts are really enticing... and I love the Yamcha shirt, despite how played out the joke is. All of them are really cool though, and I'm glad to see a lot of classics represented.

My friend screened Castle of Cagliostro to the club, and from what I hear, it was a big success, with some of the students immediately wanting to know if they could watch more stuff with Lupin in it. So yeah, gre...

So here's a topic that might be of interest to some of you. My friend is a teacher, and helps to run/supervise the Anime Club at her school. She's been tasked with selecting shows that would both be appropriate for a school club, and engaging for the students. While she's already selected some works...

That's a good comparison, haha. Thematically not really what I had in mind, but then again, that could also change. I too considered the possibility of exploring the story through film, but I'm holding off on it for now. Not because it's a bad choice or the wrong one, it's just that I'm less versed ...

It's good to not over-promise, that shows thought. OK, gonna throw out a couple of things, because I think checking your goal can be useful. Ready? :) 1. Do not use any real anime or manga in the play. You don't need to, and the audience won't care. Nobody is going to see a reference to (show) and ...
