The Old School Otaku Lounge

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 ...

I love Pet Shop Boys! And all those 80's new wave bands -- New Order, Depeche Mode, Erasure, OMD, Thompson Twins, The Cure, A-Ha, etc. I love 80s music! I still have many 80s albums on vinyl, and a Bowie poster hanging above our computer, lol. I'd be amazed if you've ever even heard of most of thos...

I honestly don't have much on my Youtube channel...a lot of my older vids are more personal stuff than fandom-related, but as time goes by hopefully I can change that. ;D Thanks for the welcome! Wow, you were involved with the fan dub of the Ys game for the PC Engine! You have just gained 3,000 EXP...

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

greg wrote: About To Terra, I bought that big manga in English a few years ago, but I have not yet read it. Did they ever release more than just that one book, or is that all there is to the series?

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

I have noticed that online, I do see a more cosplayers saying they're going to cosplay certain characters/things/whatever just because they like the design without knowing what the character's like or anything. But that doesn't bother me--for every one person who does that, there are 100 more that c...

Hiya usamimi. Welcome to the board. Good to hear from another Texas resident (lots of "foreigners" on here ;) ). You should come down to Ushicon in 2 weeks http://www.ushicon.com we have some good people on hand. :) I still have those actually, if you WANT them we could probably part with...
