The Old School Otaku Lounge

I would say that I have seen more than one high school student regularly wearing animal ears and occasionally tails. So even furries have become more... not accept...

Thank you for the link... skimming through the pages of that gave me lots of nostalgia feels. I had one issue of OUT myself, but I know that I either ebayed or gave away all my old magazines a move or two back :/
