The Old School Otaku Lounge

I was quite young during the 90s and 2000s so the concept of time didn’t apply to me. My first introduction to fansubs was actually Real Media encodes of Sailor Moon, and while I knew links could die, it never occurred to me that files could disappear forever. I definitely regret deleting stuff, lik...

Do you want me to post a list?

Yes that would be great! I’d appreciate it!

I’m just now getting into Vampire Princess Miyu, Video Girl Ai, To Heart, and Macross 7 thanks to some VHS tapes that I’ve been able to acquire. It’s rough though because I don’t have a lot of time and I recently got into JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure too and that’s a lot of episodes. I also plan on watc...

So I recently came across a bunch of these subtitled Dragon Ball Z movies from Facebook Marketplace. They appear to be fansubs, but duplicated by a bootlegger. The tapes had nice clamshell cases with slipcovers but the only label on the tapes said "Best collection of karate & martial arts&q...

I'll take older knowledge over my current lack thereof! I'm on Linux myself, so I figured I might have to hunt down a similar enough software package if AegiSub and VirutalDub aren't open sourced or have a compatible free version. But any help along the lines of the process beyond writing a transla...

I have a few things I want to sub myself now, so if you're familiar with it, I'd appreciate any insight you may have! Unfortunately my fansubbing insight is quite dated, and I'm also running on a Macbook now instead of Windows. But back in the day, I used Aegisub to time all my subtitles, it was a ...

Hey welcome to the forum. I think I might've found those SM fansubs of yours years ago and saw through the first series which took me a couple of years to do lol. For Number 3, im part of a few online communities of people who have VHS tapes of TV recordings and put them online for other people to ...

Welcome!! It’s so great to find other archivists here

Wow, I didn't expect such a welcome. As for what I'm doing now, I'm REDOING the entire BDB series using a 720p Bluray source, and reediting the original tape translations and scripts and adding new comments and corrections. My intent is to make a definitive "Technogirls" version of the en...

Hi everyone, I'm willing to buy VHS fansubs from anyone who's looking to get rid of their tapes. I've been reading a lot of tweets from people who say they just throw their tapes away and it's really sad. I'm collecting 1st gen and master VHS/SVHS tapes and digitizing them onto the archive, as well ...
