The Old School Otaku Lounge

I have similar feelings about My Youth in Arcadia since my first viewings. Prior to it, my only exposure to Harlock was the GE999 movie and just clips of other Harlock dubs from BAD (So, uh, thanks, Dave and the rest of CPF :lol: ). I felt like Harlock was something I would (or maybe should) have re...

Back digitizing some tapes again and popped in a couple of fansubs I got from a distro and found some surprises (always fun). The first tape was Pokemon S1E38 - the seizure episode - which ended up not being subbed (the things you forget after 20+ years). Unfortunately, the tape has some discoloring...

MomoCon and DragonCon have teamed up again to host another Geek Garage Sale event on Sunday, Feb 19th 2023 at the Georgia Tech Exhibition Hall in Atlanta, GA. It runs from 11 AM to 5 PM; the first 100 attendees are free but after that it's $5 at the door. It's your typical garage sale/flea market ty...

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...

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 ...

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...

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 ...

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 ...

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?

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...
