The Old School Otaku Lounge

Ok, I can't be the only one who loved Megu-san something hardcore in the 90s, can I?! XD I remember at times it felt like she was in almost everything coming out (not that I minded!), and I had a ton of her music on cassette tape. I got really jealous when one of my penpals got her autograph at some...

I'm terrible with video games--I'll start one, then start another, and before you know it, I'm playing like 5 games all at once. XD Right now I'm still in the middle of playing LA Noire (found it at the bottom of the clearance bin at Walmart for crazy cheap), the newest Assassin's Creed, and Kid Ica...

The U.S. Penguindrum BD, for instance, was released in 1080i, and with obvious interlacing issues and motion artifacts. The Japanese BD was 1080p. It's not a dealbreaker, but it's just annoying enough to make you curse under your breath. Oh wow, really? I have the Penguindrum BD but I haven't watch...

Ah, thanks for clearing that up. Yeah, I heard a LOT of complaining from friends when they released the Persona anime on blu-ray with only a dub track. O__o I've never gotten into Persona, so I'd probably never buy it, but that's still pretty lame. I haven't seen many other companies do that yet, bu...

I heard Chihayafuru was good, it's actually on my "to watch eventually" list!

Haha, well, since that ep doesn't have anything to do with the sister, I might be able to watch it. If I can get past the idea of watching that show again. XD;; Maybe.

Yay! I got someone to join!

I think we should take pics of your Robot Carnival stuff, I bet people here would appreciate it. ;D

Mission accomplished.

Mwahahaha!

We have a PS3, so we use that as a blu-ray player. :D I've heard that some companies that release anime are trying to region-lock certain releases to hinder importing, but for the most part blu-rays released in Japan are region 1 (which is the same region as US blu-rays, but if they're region-free, ...

Awesome. I wanted that set, but settled for the dirt cheap singles when they were on sale. The original El Hazard OAV really is a great show. I actually got the single DVDs of it when I noticed someone was selling the first one on Amazon for only $10 (apparently vol 1 is really hard to find now...I...

Yeah, since they're Japanese releases, 99% chance of no English subtitles. But the cms for the blu-rays already look a million times better than the DVDs, picture quality wise: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NdonUBqN1X0
