Re: An index of prominent figures in the early anime fandom?

I'm living in Canada right now and am on staff at Anime North. Captain Harlock / Albator was huge in Quebec in the 70s and 80s and into the 90s. A lot of 70s series like Candy Candy, Grendizer ("Goldorak") and Albator were really popular in the Francophone world in general, including Queb...

Re: pages from C/FO Magazine V2 #3

I traded tapes with some California fans and sometimes would just send blanks and return postage for copies and people seemed to be pretty open about copying anime, but this was in the 1986-87-88 time frame, a little later than the C/FO meeting shown in the video. I do know that there were some Cal...

Re: An index of prominent figures in the early anime fandom?

Say, on a related topic, anyone here is Canadian or familiar with the Canadian anime fandom? I am interested in two topics: the conventions (like Anime North), and the French-speaking anime fans (Is it true that Leiji Matsumoto is just as big there as in France?)

Yeah, I really did forget about AWO. Thanks for pointing that out!

Also, anyone here have any other suggestion?

Re: An index of prominent figures in the early anime fandom?

Sorry for the above post. It seems like the [Spoiler] tag on another forums does not work here.

Say, does anyone here have any idea about the anime clubs that Joe Vecchio joined in the 1990s? I can only find out about Anime X, but he mentioned somewhere that he was affiliated with two clubs.

Re: battlin' fandoms

Wasn't Fred Patten a member of the Los Angeles Science Fantasy Society? I suppose that there were other sci-fi fanclubs in different colleges back then, right? In this interview with Walter Amos and Robert Fenelon, they talked about how some sci-fi conventions became smaller and attended mostly by o...

Re: pages from C/FO Magazine V2 #3

Anyone here know how can I reach out to Luke Mecnichelli of C/FO Philadelphia? I know from this website that Luke is still active at the Philadelphia Animation Society, but that is just it.

Re: An index of prominent figures in the early anime fandom?

Neil is on LinkedIn. I actually reached out to him to ask him about a SciFi books (he has translated a few) but didn't hear back. Don't blame him though, people have to remind me on other sites that they've messaged me on LinkedIn. :) Yeah, it seems to me that most people just make a LinkedIn profi...
