The Old School Otaku Lounge

Whoa, just watched your vid on the 8-bit Cafe...that place looks awesome! Definitely the kind of place I'd want to go to if I ever manage to visit Japan. (Of course, there are so many cool themed cafes/bars/etc there that I may never get to visit them all ;3; There's a Sailor Moon themed cafe in Osa...

oh man, if I knew more Japanese, I would totally help out with this! ;3; I hope they can find some translators!

The most "recent" anime that I've watched all the way through so far would be Kids on the Slope, Mawaru Penguindrum, and Working!! (aka "Wagnaria"). All 3 I actually enjoyed. "Kids on the Slope" was done by the same people who did "Cowboy Bebop" (they even got...

I wouldn't mind checking out A-fest, too. AnimeFEST is definitely worth going to, almost certainly the best ANIME convention in the state. (2012's guest lineup was incredible and they had some awesome panels around them) Plus, it's in the hotel that A-Kon was in for the last decade(?), if that's a ...

Wow, you were involved with the fan dub of the Ys game for the PC Engine! You have just gained 3,000 EXP...

I think we all went through somewhat of a weeaboo phase when we first discovered anime back then. Call me selfish, but anime was more exciting back when it was more of a secret, as you put it, than as a part of mainstream. Welcome to the forum. It's nice to see another YouTuber on here. I first lea...

about that kinda stuff, haha. I follow him on Twitter to keep up on his updates.

Sounds like he needs to be invited to our place here!

oh, I didn't even think of that! I'll have to see if I can send him the link to here, heh. ;D

Nope, there's 2 more vols, it's 3 vols all together! :3
