Re: Organizing Your Media And Merch

I'll admit, when I was first planning this whole thing, I was expecting to have to do a PC with a tuner card (like I did the first time I was attempting to digitize tapes in like 2001) but I happened upon the 4K box and figured it was cheap enough that if it didn't work it'd be easy enough to return...

Re: RIP Kevin Lillard

So sorry to hear about Kevin's passing. I'm fairly certain that I didn't know him personally and am having trouble recalling if we'd met in passing but I've seen quite a few people I know outside of our forum group here that knew him. I do remember checking out A Fan's View quite a bit in the early ...

Re: Organizing Your Media And Merch

Figured this place is as good an update as any - I've been excited, if not always having the time, that I've finally got something up and running to start digitizing my tapes and LDs. I had a few start-and-stop moments and a good realization that I am not 20-something and single where I could just s...

Re: Con t-shirt archive? (Also, when did con t-shirts become a thing?)

Convention T-shirts have been a thing for about as long as I can remember for multi-day types of events. And not just anime conventions, or even sci-fi conventions - I remember a few of my coworkers or bosses that would have shirts from tech shows and conferences from the 90s (I've had a few myself ...

Re: What are you Watching?

I dig Iria, but mostly for being just a good action anime, the action scenes really are well executed. Explosions, smoke, gunplay, hand to hand combat are crisp and mostly all on point. The story and plotting is OK, but mostly serves to move the action along. Just finished Iria tonight and I would ...

Re: Where Are They Now: Todd Allis of Japanimation USA

Remind me again - was Japanimation USA a convention? A club? A store?

I read through Todd's old website - I wonder if that Google Anime Club still meets?

Re: WTB/WTT: VHS Fansubs

Well, nostalgia is certainly a factor for me, I always wanted more fansubs growing up but alas was too poor, so now I'm kind of reliving those days. But also yes to digitally preserve titles as well. I'm in contact with a 74 year old man who has Dr. Slump recordings from the Hawaii channel Pearl an...

Re: annoying tales of anime fandom

Haha, I've watched bits and pieces of those VCDs but I'm sure I've never watched all of them completely. But yeah, it's easily over 200 VCDs. Guess it's better than having everything on tape as far as space is concerned though. There was a point in time where yeah, hauling a VCR and some tapes for a...

Re: The "Check this item out on eBay" Thread

YEAH the anime VHS market is kinda nuts right now. Even more nuts is the vintage anime T-shirt market--I've seen some people trying to sell old anime shirts for $1,000?!? If people are actually paying that much for them, I regret getting rid of some of my old t-shirts back in the day, lmao. Yeah, I...
