The Old School Otaku Lounge

^^ Hey, can some mod get rid of that, that wasn't the right images. Ok, trying this again... Nice collection! I've been wanting to track down those Moldiver LDs. I recently picked up a still sealed copy of Vampire Hunter D on laserdisc (Streamline dub) and the first two episodes of You're Under Arr...

It did the one thing well that I was expecting it to do well on, and that was the visuals and recreating scenes from the Oshii film. I was pretty content with that. But for me, it's still far from the worst animated to live action adaptations that I remember seeing in the past. The visuals were imp...

I've been reading the Patlabor manga, which I'm finding extremely enjoyable. It's interesting that every Patlabor series introduces the characters differently. I've also been reading a newer manga, Freezing. I liked the anime, and the manga is fun too. It also helps that they're being released in an...

I made two back in 2014: Macross: Do You Remember Love / Mighty Wings (Cheap Trick) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ij-BrhKBuNk&t=8s Gunsmith Cats, Bubblegum Crisis, Armitage III, Dirty Pair, Mezzo Forte, Kite and more / Line of Fire (Lee Aaron) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WXZUQvwjvsU&t=...

I've been re-watching Ghost in the Shell: SAC 2nd GIG. Even better than I remember it, and more enjoyable than the first season. I love the episodes that focus on the Section 9 characters and their backstories, since so many of them were overlooked in the previous season...not to mention the origina...

The Clone Saga is where Marvel really started to jump the shark in the 90s. I always cite the Clone Saga as the exact spot where I fell off the Marvel train. And from there it just went from bad to worse. Before the Clone Saga, I had really been enjoying the Spider-Man comics, even the Maximum Carn...

A new comic shop opened up a few months back, and they have tons of back issues for $1 each. So I've been buying up a ton of Captain America issues from the late '80s/early '90s. Fun stuff. The '90s Marvel era gets a bad rap, and rightly so--but prior to 1994, they were still printing some great com...

After playing the lackluster Dragon Ball Xenoverse game, I felt the need to play a better DBZ title. so I re-purchased Raging Blast 2 for the PS3. I forgot how fun the game was, and there's still some people who play online--though waiting for a match takes a bit of time. I find this game to be one ...

I just picked up all three volumes of Dark Horse's Gunhed manga. Just started on it and enjoy it thus far. I may be one of the only fans of the Gunhed film, but I'm a sucker for miniatures, practical effects, pre-cgi artistry, and Toho's brand of shenanigans. Plus the soundtrack is amazing.

Wow, everything about this is amazing! They really nailed that energetic old school anime feel with it. And there's a definite Project A-KO or Burn Up vibe from this, especially with the fanservice, mechs, and frenetic art style. All of the '80s references are great too, with the G1 Optimus Prime ro...
