The Old School Otaku Lounge

I've been watching the new Cardcaptor Sakura series despite really hating the character designs. I feel like I need to report myself to the police for child endangerment every time I look at Yukito and Touya. Hard to imagine that, despite the characters now being in college in this series, they look...

(Also, My profile pic was the only image I had that fit within the size restrictions. I do love Sailor Moons artstyle though.) Same here. I've met a couple of the animators in person. Totally love Miho Shimogasa. Suuuper nice. I recommend Oniisama e... (Dear Brother). It's like the ol' school versi...

This is not Japan. The market just won't support $500 box sets. If you seriously believe the company can survive on sub-500 unit sales, well. Good luck with that. ..Except that Aniplex has used this model in the US, and for most of their BDs/DVDs, they've sold very well for their price point. I rem...

I have an insane amount of leave that I need to burn. So this and the Japan trip in late October will help. A couple of the AZ peeps are in the same boat. And if you think my schedule sounds hectic, Preston not only is doing both cons, but going to Japan at the end of April. I'm looking forward to s...

Looks like I'll be going to ACEN as well. The guest list, combined with the fact that I had to already reserve the time off work to go to Animazement, made it worth it.

My friend's company, Sekai Project, are the ones bringing over Yokota and Yoshimatsu. They'll probably have commission slots.

Yup. It's apparently gotten progressively worse for him. I'm hoping that he's doing ok, they're not really giving any updates about it. :/ His blog mentioned that he experienced a relapse towards the end of DMP's fundraising period in April 2015 when someone hit him and he fell at a train station i...

Excluding the final season, the entire series has been released and is in the process of being re-released by Viz. Does that include the movies? I don't think I've seen them on Amazon or Rightstuf. Pioneer/Geneon released those in the US years ago. You can probably find used copies for cheap on E-b...

I've got a copy of Sailor Moon R and Sailor Moon S films that I want to show my niece. I don't think they've been released yet. Or if they ever will be. Excluding the final season, the entire series has been released and is in the process of being re-released by Viz. I think Viz is through the firs...

So here's the latest update to this and every other outstanding Kickstarter (KnJ, Psyche Delico, Wonder 3) DMP has.. Dear all our Kickstarter backers, First of all, please accept my sincere apology for causing such a considerable delay in fulfilling your books and rewards. Since you put a lot of tru...

I live in Sweden and unfortunately microchamber paper is only sold in America and no stores carrying them offer international shipping. Since they only come in stacks of 100 or more, the shipping cost would probably exceed the price for the product itself anyway. But I appreciate your care for thes...
