The Old School Otaku Lounge

Thanks karageko!

That show looks amazing. Cute 80s character designs and it's about ninjas. How is this show almost completely unknown?

I'm guessing it's either just not very good, or it's super creepy in terms of how the young female characters are treated and nobody wants to import it.

There's a ton of stuff on Amazon Prime video right now. Found after a cursory search: Iria: Zeiram The Bounty Hunter 1994 Street Fighter II: The Animated Movie 1994 Goku Midnight Eye 1989 Fist of the North Star 1986 Black Jack: The Movie 1996 Arcadia of My Youth 1982 Lily C.A.T. 1987 Urusei Yatsura:...

First one is Fantasia: https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E3%81%B5%E3%81%81%E3%82%93%E3%81%9F%E3%81%98%E3%81%82 Third one is Sonic Soldier Borgman II: New Century 2058 Nazi dude is Keishin Keidan/Kishin Corps, IIRC Oh, The Girl From Phantasia! I've seen that. It was released on VHS by AD Vision in the ...

Thanks. Google it and it has that 80s aesthetic that I think a lot of us really like.

I often see screenshots from cool looking anime that I can't identify. Usually this happens when looking through old Japanese anime magazines (Out, Animedia, My Anime, Animage) or when some jerk on Tumblr posts a cool picture without tagging the anime title. So here's the first batch. What are these...

Maybe because I've seen so much that I'm jaded, but I don't recall anything too out of the ordinary in Dream Hunter Rem, and I watched the whole thing a few years ago, including the uncut episode. I honestly don't recall much from the hentai scenes in question. Another one that should be mentioned ...

I hope whoever (ie we all know its Discotek) releases that on DVD/Bluray adds in that old Dangaioh sub with the infamous "SIDE KICK WAVE" attack. Toshifumi Yoshida/Trish Ledoux early translation/subbing roles must be preserved, and they harp on their mistakes at their panel every year on ...

Now for more never released wishes. This list only gets ever longer as I remember/discover more shows I want to see. Dream Dimension Hunter Fandora Cosmos Pink Shock Dream Hunter Rem The above are all sci fi with super 80s character designs so they've always been on my radar. Since they all have fem...

I feel like I must have seen Ogre Slayer on VHS at Blockbuster back in the day, but past it up due to the boring cover. I think I might want to add Luna Varga to my wishlist for DVD/BD. I think I had it filed away in my brain next to Gude Crest and Capricorn, probably conflating them. Capricorn == O...

Ooh, this was not on my radar. I'll give it a listen!
