The Old School Otaku Lounge

Awesome episode! I actually hadn't had a chance to listen to an episode of your podcast for a good while, and this was an excellent one to bring me back in!

Again, awesome job and looking forward to tuning in for more!

At the moment, I'm currently watching a few Go Nagai series; I'm doing a presentation at some conventions coming up talking about the links between the works of H.P Lovecraft and anime/manga, so at the moment, watching the original 70s Devilman, and the 90s OVAs of Demon Lord Dante. Oh, and rewatchi...

Yeah, I thought they were absolutely great. Not only the science fiction and narrative aspects, but the deep historical background the author created for this world really draws you in, particularly the social and political history involved.

I know I said I'd host one a while back, but I just had a crazy number of months between work and other things, I haven't been able to check in as often as I'd like, but with things winding down, if we set a date, I'll be there! Also, just out of curiosity, has anyone thought of ...

When's the next one scheduled for? The last few months have been crazy on my end, as far as work, but if I know well enough in advance, I could the google chat or something.

Hello all! I wanted to see if anyone on the list was thinking of attending Matsuricon in Columbus, Ohio this summer - I will be a guest at Pulpfest, the convention sharing the Hyatt with Matsuricon that weekend, and am thinking about doing a history of anime fandom (or something along those lines) p...

Absolutely; I know that's certainly the case for me, haha. I wouldn't be free until the middle of January myself, and I'm sure that's the case for alot of folks.

I'd certainly be willing to host one, one weekend, if enough people are interested.
