Re: Boston Japanimation Society newsletter uploads
I thought this cover by Motoi Sato was pretty nice.

Re: What did old-school fans think about digital fansubs?
I did a lot of copying and trading of VHS fansubs, and helped out on a few of the CPF releases. In terms of the scarcity of fansubs, or the ability to replace lost fansub tapes, well, generally you got that fansub from someone you knew. If a dog ate that tape of the Patlabor movie fansub, or if you...

What did old-school fans think about digital fansubs?
During my era, it was the height of the "the internet never forgets, it reroutes around damage" feeling about online fansubs. The idea being that there would always be a Somebody that kept things online forever, without specifying who that somebody might be. We've been forced to eat our wo...

Re: What are you Watching?
Affair *of* Nolandia, excuse me- :) (There is also a prolonged scene where they decide after being trapped in a repeating nightmare, that the best way to draw the target out of the jungle is with handmade stuffed animals.) Not sure if this is about outside circumstances back when OVAs were new, or t...

Re: What are you Watching?
For me, the latest is Dirty Pair: Affair at Nolandia. :D This really seems like an anime that would do well with a re-make, as the original is bad, but bad in a way that could have retro-appeal if it wasn't so incoherent. Like the gratuitous tentacle scenes, which later on sort of suggest they are P...

Re: When did American anime fandom and Japanese import game fandom come together?
I liked a few NES and SNES games, and the folks who said they had games from Japan that hadn't come out here did seem kind of cool, but I was never involved in the import scene myself :) Same goes for fighting games and rhythm games, as I could never do the complex moves. :lol: My interest in anime ...

When did American anime fandom and Japanese import game fandom come together?
Nowadays I think the popular perception is that American anime fans who were not originally gamers are in the minority -- when I first became involved as an anime-fandom-middle-schooler, the import gamers were a subset of anime fans, not everybody but noticeable. So when did the connection start? Di...

Re: RIP Kevin Lillard
What will happen to his photos and negatives, I wonder? It would be terrible if they weren't preserved somehow.
