The Old School Otaku Lounge

I've been wanting to create an AMV for a long time, just as a fun, quick little side project. So I finally gave it a shot, and here are two I put together. "Line of Fire" Anime: Bubblegum Crisis, Dirty Pair, Gunsmith Cats, Iria, Kite, Mezzo Forte, Armitage III, Cowboy Bebop Link: https://w...

Does this have some of the extra footage that was cut out of some versions? Most specifically, in the first episode there is an extended dialogue sequence with Rick and Minmay inside the plane after he saves her. I had this scene on the F.H.E VHS releases but that sequence was chopped out in every ...

I was recently able to get all of the Hyper Police DVDs that Image released in the '90s. Great deal, fairly cheap and some of them were still sealed. I'm nearly at episode 20, so only a few more to go. Not a bad series, but it's not one of my favorites. The main characters are likable, but it certai...

Just finished Psycho Pass. Maybe it was all of the high-expectations from everyone telling me how great it is, but I was left extremely disappointed. They had some great world-building and the initial plot was very intriguing. Sadly, I felt that after a few episodes the show started to meander. The ...

I have to admit, I'm liking the updated designs. I feel they're close enough to the originals without any drastic or unnecessary changes. My concern is, with all these new characters, how much screen time will be given to the old ones? Either way, as a fan of the original Tenchi shows, I'd definitel...

Ooooh, nice sticker! :lol: At least it isn't written with a Sharpie marker or something. Years ago I got a bootleg of the Japanese "Transformers: Headmasters" series. Half the discs had stickers and the other half were labeled with multi-colored markers. Unfortunately, they were the circu...

I was going to hold out and wait for the blu-ray, if it ever gets a U.S. release, but I couldn't wait. I gave the dubbed version a watch on Netflix tonight. I was extremely surprised--one of the best sci-fi films I've seen in years. I loved the animation style, the characters and soundtrack. Would h...

Ok, so the covers for those Ranma bootlegs looked vaguely familiar, as did the Engrish on it, so after doing a little digging, I found this old Ranma design (I'm pretty sure it's either a poster or a shitajiki)--whoever made the bootleg covers used the Engrish right from this Japanese design. That'...

I'm looking forward to seeing it, I'm a fan of this CGI style. Though it's strange that the dubbed version, as of now, is only available on Netflix. I was hoping for a 3D Bluray release with the dub.

Just took a few photos of my Dagger of Kamui laserdisc. This was the subtitled version. While it would have been nice for AnimEigo to include a dub, it's for the best they didn't since the English version (released only to VHS) was heavily edited with over 20 minutes cut out (and it was retitled Rev...
