The Old School Otaku Lounge

I will always think of Five Star Stories as these decent sized model kits with absolutely gorgeous art work on them. I recently checked out that OAV for the first time and while I liked it enough, I'm just not sold enough on it to really get into the manga. I'd probably check out an art book or if t...

He is certainly my most favorite artist, even over Mikimoto. I don't think I could take such a brave stance - I'd have to say a toss up between them. While I wouldn't consider Sonoda the favorite, he will always have a special place in my heart as being one of the first artists whose style I could ...

Now that the convention season has cooled down for me for a bit, I am planning on getting back on the horse again. I need to pick up Kill La Kill again, both Gundams Unicorn and Build Fighters, thinking about diving into Attack On Titan but also trying to get back into some older shows, too. I got *...

Doesn't look to be all that bad of an adaptation to me. I mean, I probably won't watch it but that's mostly from just not being that into Doraemon.

I dunno where I stand on the story, but I LOVE the art for Macross II. Especially on those disks. I remember liking the animation and designs in the OAV the first few times I saw it, too, but now, I'm not so sure. Curious, greg, if you don't mind, how much did you wind up paying for them? This is m...

A lot of geeks hate sports because it stems from their childhood of being poor at sports or being picked on by more sporty kids. At one time I had that kind of attitude, but I grew to appreciate sports very soon after I got out of high school. And I like watching sports because I like watching peop...

I had a big ol' post written up about this but it must have been eaten by Internet Gremlins or something ... which I guess is good because it was probably kind of messy and rambling. In the rental house my fiancee and I share now, I have a "nerd cave" where the majority of my anime and ani...

I guess I was conditioned this way since I was a kid in school. I get what you mean - I have a couple of conditioned responses, too; mostly the first week or so of spring when the weather really makes that change from rainy winter to breezy and warm. While I like being outside during this time, it ...

Glad to see this thread getting some more love, but like Dave, budget is a little tight right now, I'll be holding off from toy purchases for a bit. Looking forward to any other tools or gadgets anyone else is using or looking at, even if I'm gonna have to wind up with buying another Windows License...

oh gosh I hope it's not some sorta War on Geminar or GXP spin-off or something. You'd think it was the core characters...but I guess we'll see, eh? I hope not either, really, even if I wind up just having a passing interest in this. At a 5 minute per episode runtime, it's probably best to stick wit...
