Re: pages from C/FO Magazine V2 #3

personal tape-copying anecdotes: I bought my first VHS deck for $350 in November of 1985. I'd bring it to the homes of other anime fans and I'd copy anime they had that I needed, and they'd copy tapes I had that they needed.

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

right now JSF is living in Denver and dealing with serious health issues - still involved as possible with fan activities, but not as much as before, obviously. I read that memoir she posted as well, and while it is very personal stuff, it's also pretty entertaining, and if she was to re-post perha...

Re: The Anime Nostalgia Podcast & Blog

Say, usamimi, do you touch on video game on your podcast? I came across news of the Game Gear game Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon S having been fully translated. It would be nice if you can give your listeners a heads-up.

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

I think I might be able clear up some stuff on Woodhead past. I did an old podcast years ago where we got to interview him, and to him he worked on Wizardry and was already known for that before tackling into anime.

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

Donno if this is off topic but Robert Woodhead of AnimEigo was and still is one of the biggest fanboys ever.. enough that he founded his own company to import anime, and did a damn great job of what he brings in, and still does.
