How cheap are VHS nowadays and some other questions

Just curious, how cheap are VHS movies, TV series, anime, etc. in America nowadays? And how well do they hold up after all these years? How often do you come across an entire anime collection on VHS with the cardboard case intact? Do you guys continue to use your old VCR and CRT, or have you spent s...

Re: Computer viewing

Between VLC and MPlayer I'm usually able to work something out. :) Format-wise nothing too crazy, although I have noticed that there is a subsection of the remaining fansub world that insists on releasing and sharing rare shows in fussy custom formats, like 10-bit mkv files, or the "what's a d...

The end to the Harmony Gold-Macross debacle

Big West, Studio Nue, Harmony Gold USA Agree to Global Distribution of Macross, Robotech

What are your thoughts on this? How would Satelight and its partners push Macross in America from this point on? What could we expect from them other than Blu-Ray releases of previous Macross series?

Re: Oldschool OVAs You Wish Were Completed

How do you guys think about the Gunsmith Cats OVA? Would you like an entire series that covers the original manga and its sequel? (On that note, I wonder what Kenichi Sonoda is doing nowadays? He and Manabe Jouji are two late 80s, early 90s mangaka that always stuck in my head. And they did visit Am...

Re: RIP Amy Howard

we learned recently that Amy Howard Wilson, the voice actor of Nova in the 1979 series Star Blazers, had passed away in February. Her family and friends are still stunned, and this includes the thousands of friends she made while visiting anime conventions in the 1990s and 2000s. I wrote a short pi...

Re: Tokyo Babylon gets a new anime adaptation!

To me, it sounds like the initial discovery of them copying other people's outfits lead them to look more closely and discover more problems...and yeah, I assume they tried to see if the work done already could be salvaged, but just couldn't. And they said they "lost faith" in the studio,...

Re: Other Japanese cultural imports?

Just curious: What made comic books jumped in price in the first place and made people thought that they were actually valued investments?

Discotek have found Project A-ko master reel!

This literary came out of nowhere: https://twitter.com/discotekmedia/status/1369115040880619522 It seemed like Discotek had been trying to find this master for a long time. They knew it was in a film lab, but couldn't find it. Robert Woodhead noticed there was a paperwork mistake, and thanks to his ...
