The Old School Otaku Lounge

Yeah, while there's still some old-school shops like that around, it's nice to know there's alternatives out there (or even places that cleaned up their act a little!)

What do you like/dislike about anime fandom at present? How has it changed and what do you miss? Are you still involved in th...

@Kale: How many issues of "Metal Bikini" did they make? I think I got that same issue if its the first one and I bought because "This looks dumb, oh well gotta have it!" Actually I don't think thats the first issue, I can't remember what I have, its all in storage. Academy Comic...
