New Daicon III & IV LD Rip
Various versions of the Daicon Opening Animations have been bouncing around on YouTube and NicoNico for years, but this one seems a hair better than earlier efforts: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VFUjooR9sqM The realities of Daicon IV's amateur production and limits of the LD format suggests that ...

Re: AnimeCon '92 (and '93?)
Ok - I must have misunderstood what you had posted from Usenet; I was under the impression that even though there were organizational issues, the 1992 show still happened. The show not happening makes a lot of sense though. Sorry about that, should have been a bit clearer. I was mostly surprised to...

Re: AnimeCon '92 (and '93?)
This topic got me flipping through some of my old Animag magazines - specifically because I remember seeing some convention coverage when I was doing some other research looking to see if I could get any coverage of AnimeCon ('92, at least) but all of that coverage was from Anime Expo '92. Since An...

AnimeCon '92 (and '93?)
I attended Fanime in San Jose, CA for the first time in years last week and it got me thinking about the history of Bay Area conventions. During the early ‘90s, there were two places to be for conventions in the US, the Bay Area, and Dallas. Of course, it’s pretty well known by now that the Gainax-s...

Re: Anime phone cards?
As recent as a few years ago Nakano Broadway still had a shop dedicated to these, I forget if it was still there when I was back last November. Could be wrong, but I believe they're still made in limited qualities strictly as limited edition pack in items. Cell phones have, obviously, made them pret...

Re: Joy's Japanimation?
Judging by the URL linked for the Disciples of Zor website, those photos may actually predate 2001. I think they switched to a proper .com domain at some point around 2000/2001. I knew Fer (the co-owner of Joy's Japanimation) through that club, which was a largish Robotech fanclub spread out between...

Re: Talkin' About Kenichi Sonoda
Ya know, I recall reading that he's mostly taking over the family store now. Did I miss something about what kind of store it is? That's got to feel a little soul crushing. The hot, hard, fast life of Tokyo mid-80s and now, running a store out in the boonies. Yeah, I mentioned that in the first art...

Talkin' About Kenichi Sonoda
Over the last month or so I've found myself writing about Kenichi Sonoda (Bubblegum Crisis, Gall Force, Gunsmith Cats, etc) in two different places: Gunsmith Cats’ Kenichi Sonoda Talks Explosions, Influences, and the Family Business Sonoda was a guest at this year's SakuraCon. We weren't able to sna...
