The Time Capsule

The roughly mid-90's and earlier (generally pre-Toonami, pre-anime boom) era of anime & manga fandom: early cons, clubs, tape trading, Nth Generation VHS fansubs, old magazines & fanzines, fandubs, ancient merchandise, rec.arts.anime, and more!

I have runs of New Type, My Anime, Animage, Animedia, etc. those alone would fill several book cases and these things are HEAVY!
oh, wow, man! Jealous!! XD

Looking at an issue of Anime Janai (#32 March 1st, 1992) in the replies to my section talking about getting a new 50 MHz 486 for $2,500! Boy have times changed. My i5 laptop with 6 Gig of RAM and a 500 Gig hard drive cost $700... :lol:

Better than I could ever do! It's certainly at least on par with the stuff my students here can draw.

Awww, Ryoran you should be proud! I sent like, dozens of drawings to Animerica and not a single one ever got published. XD I did get 2 drawings published in the "Letters" section of the old Oh My Goddess! monthlies, though (and one in an Evangelion monthly, too, I if I recall.)

EDIT:
I keep forgetting to post this--found this old ad on Tumblr a while back and it amused me so:

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!
That's an excellent idea -- We really need to be sending out more personal invitations to the people we know and/or bump into that would make good fits for this forum. Has anyone sent a message to this person yet? If not, I'd be happy to do it.

P.S.: I'm finally getting around to updating the Time Capsule on the site -- If anyone has any more submissions, post them now or forever hold your peace (or at least you'll have to wait to get "published" until the next round of updates).

That shit right there, that Laserdisc ad is why we need a tumblr, that links to this site. That could be pretty popular. I might take it upon myself to maintain it.
