Re: The Right Stuf International 1995-1996 catalog

Re: Eras of Anime
Maybe also off-topic, but thank you for the info! I had never heard of the term rep cinema before; that helps fill in a gap in my understanding of how people related to these things. It also helps confirm the opinion of the reviewer, that Blade Runner did not deserve the praise it received. :lol: Ma...

Re: Eras of Anime
For the anime itself, I think the big cultural split is availability -- I noticed this listening to a recent review of Blade Runner that mentioned that it was derivative of Film Noir, without really seeming to realize that in 1982 VHS was still in its infancy and there was no internet, so unless the...

Re: Eras of Anime
I think for the schools used here, the cut-off is "How likely is it that otaku will participate?" There are fans that are older than old-school, but other than a few outliers, it seems like they don't spend much time on message boards, maybe because their bread-and-butter was APAs and con ...

Re: Right Stuf store 'merging' with Crunchyroll
If you are looking for an independent seller, Robert's Anime Corner Store is still around, although they are split now between calling it that and The Anime Corner Store, maybe so that if Robert decides to take it easy and go watch anime all day, other store employees can keep the thing going withou...

Re: What did old-school fans think about digital fansubs?
I did a lot of copying and trading of VHS fansubs, and helped out on a few of the CPF releases. In terms of the scarcity of fansubs, or the ability to replace lost fansub tapes, well, generally you got that fansub from someone you knew.

What did old-school fans think about digital fansubs?
During my era, it was the height of the "the internet never forgets, it reroutes around damage" feeling about online fansubs. The idea being that there would always be a Somebody that kept things online forever, without specifying who that somebody might be. We've been forced to eat our wo...
