My Youth in Anime Mags

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!

Rakuten Ginkou Debit Card.

Get in there (and thank me later).

There's also a JNB one-time debit but I find this somewhat cumbersome.

Actually, I applied for a Rakuten credit card and I think their prompt decision was ruled in my favor. At least that's what the e-mail led me to believe. I've yet to receive it, but I hope I get it soon. Maybe last year I had so much trouble getting a credit card because I didn't have even a year of work with one employer at the time. I also applied for a Hatsune Miku Family Mart credit card. Hopefully I'll get that, but I'll be satisfied with at least the Rakuten one.

Well, if it doesn't come, just get an Rakuten account, then apply for the debit card. Easy as can be... and that never happens here!
