Re: KBSC, KWHY, and the 1970s C/FO
I'm floored! This is pure gold! It looks like Marukai had a US branch in Hawaii in 1965, maybe explaining how they got involved with KIKU. The remarks about a New York office in 1975 might also help explain how Raideen ended up on WNJU. Company History ( Los Angeles Division) 1938 Founded Marukai Co...

Re: Who fansubbed Lupin III in 1986?
the first fansub I remember seeing was a fansub of the Macross movie, in 1985, which was created using the facilities at a public television station (or so the story goes). That's amazing!! I haven't had much luck finding out about pre-Amiga fansubs; I guess that would make the Macross movie the ve...

Re: Who fansubbed Lupin III in 1986?
Need to be more specific. Which Lupin III? Series? Movies? I think it was an episode -- the details are a little sparse, as they are from a 2003 phone interview with C/FO Rising Sun's James Renault that was used for a 2005 paper on the early history of anime tape trading, Sean Leonard's "Celeb...

Who fansubbed Lupin III in 1986?
I see mentions to this being the very first recorded fansub -- according to James Renault, Roy Black of the Blacksburg, VA chapter of C/FO got his hands on an Nth generation copy and sent one to the Rising Sun chapter in Japan where he saw it. However, in the stories I've read, nobody knows who the ...

Where are they now: Mark Merlino
Credited by Fred Patten as being the founder of American organized anime fandom, mostly because he bought a Sanyo V-Cord machine in 1975, making it possible to show recorded giant robot shows off of the local Japanese TV station to those who had not seen them live. (^_^) Not sure if he's still into ...
