Thank you kindly! Hopefully, more eyes will be drawn to Jim's work. Several large online outlets like ANN and Kotaku are covering his story.

RIP to a fandom legend. Given they're such a staple, it's hard to imagine what both the convention and online scene would look like without AMVs, and the various offshoots that were influenced by them. Jim Kaposzatas' videos truly are important pieces of Western Anime fandom history. Since you downl...

I think anything in the "Otaku" sphere was eventually brought over. If you look at Mail Order stores from the early 90's, a lot of them offer not just anime, but import games, garage kits, CDs, etc. The Ranma game on SNES actually getting localized could have also gotten people curious abo...

Count me in, I'm also interested to check out your newsgroup; Though I get the same message as DKop.

Props for the all-Japanese cast here. But Kuwabara without his famous hairdo? Madness! It's clear they were going for a more realistic approach to this new Netflix version, though given how fantastical YYH is to begin with, I agree they could have gotten away with more "anime-like" designs...

All in all It looks pretty great! Good catch with that name. Given the website and online handles are still registered under "All Stars", I wonder if they'll use both in branding (I'll probably stick to All-Stars myself to differentiate from the original anime) Either way, it's interesting...
