The Old School Otaku Lounge

How about a topic for cool AMVs for retro anime shows? None of this Bleach/Narutard crap with Linkin Park music.

here's one for KOR:

Aside from watching Totoro repeatedly, over the weekend my wife found some Doraemon DVDs, 2hours worth of animation each for only 900 yen each. That is super crazy cheap for anime DVDs. We've been watching the DVD we bought for our girl. They were at the Village Vanguard store, which is a real cool ...

I'm glad you like them! I realize I hadn't taken them with me until after we'd packed up everything. If you go to Michael's Crafts, they have poster frames that are the right size for those. The LOGH poster is already trimmed, but you'll have to trim the KOR poster slightly. I bought the LOGH poster...

You're putting those magazines to better use than I ever could! Good job on the scans. I knew it would've been a waste to just stick those magazines into the recycling bin. My conscience wouldn't have allowed me to do so! Let me know if you ever come across an advertisement for a company called Spac...

TRU actually had some Mr Hobby Aqueous paints and Gundam Color lacquer spray cans, plus a fairly decent selection of modeling tools and supplies. I went to Tachikawa in 2010. It has a decent, quaint otaku scene. I'm sure it's nice for those who want a small-scale shopping experience, but for visitor...

There was a Toys R Us in Himeji. That's where I bought the TRU exclusive Kakizaki's Macross Valkyrie by Yamato. Lately I've mainly just been to the TRU in Ikebukuro, and a couple years ago the one in Matsumoto. It's amazing how identical they look to an American TRU on the inside, but the toys are w...

Yeah, for the price, it is scraping the bottom of the barrel, so to speak. However, there are some nice 3DK apartments for about 30k yen or more in this city. A real nice 3LDK can go for about 50k, even. This ain't Tokyo, that's for sure. My wife has told me about the houses in Hokkaido with central...

I am more than annoyed with the provided apartment. Pretty pissed off. Apparently this place was abandoned for a long time, for the most part, before it was sublet by my company. This building is so crappy and old, and the area is town is known for being comprised of shoddy, old, drafty homes. It's ...

Well, here I am in Japan. We flew into Nagoya airport for the first time and my wife's mom was there to meet us and take us to the in-laws' place. Tomorrow I will report to work, get shown around, and be introduced to our new apartment. Then on Monday I begin classes. Such a whirlwind! We flew ANA i...

As for the copyright infringement. Not in Japan, but many companies like Harmony Gold restrict what they can release overseas as does the board of censorship. Keroro Gunsou 2 episode Rip-off of Macross is being blocked even on Youtube. Can you describe these Keroro Gunsou episodes that spoof Macros...
