Ah, you're into tapes? I think we'll get along well. Did I message you on YouTube recently?nordstar wrote:I can't wait to trade stories and tapes I find with others that love the older anime.

If I can dig out the whole lot you can have them. Several do have commercials still on them, but some are cut for time.AnimeSennin wrote:Welcome!

In any case, I am currently in the process of creating a (digital) archive of old stuff on tape for us aging otakus. Particularly, I am trying to build up an archive of old anime TV recordings and fansub tapes. I'm hoping that people will contribute what they can, and in return I will give what I can. If you've got tapes, then please do consider getting in touch with me. I won't ask to keep your tapes. I will give you professionally made digital copies of your stuff back, if you wanted. I do not yet have a list or anything of the TV recordings and fansubs that I have, but if you have a request then do let me know. Here are some (kind of out of date) photos of some of my anime stuff; you're welcome to look through them and see if there's anything that you want there as well: http://forum.animepast.net/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=68

Welcome Nordstar!!!nordstar wrote:I was born in 1979 and my childhood was eaten up by two things Star Wars and Lego. That pretty much didn't change until I saw adverts for a new cable channel "SciFi". I remember the bumps and waited for a none stop SciFi Channel. I watched that channel 24-7. Then the adverts for Saturday Anime came and from the first showing I was hooked. What I say changed my focus for many years. I never really had anyone else to share the love of these shows/movies/OVA's until about 1999 but by that time most people had moved on to other shows. I remember friends marathoning Excel Saga and Slayers and I just couldn't fallow so they left me behind. They did introduce me to Neon Genesis Evangelion which I love (Pen Pen was the best). When Lain came out we where all over that show and went and saw Boa preform in LA at 14 Below.
I am mostly a thrifter/bargain shopper when it comes things so my only outlet at the time was Suncoast and we all now how expensive they where. I kept up with what was on TV from time to time and bought the odd movie that I liked. I remember staying up late watching Blue Seed and other new stuff when Encore Action started showing anime.
As of late though I have been finding a lot of Anime VHS and Laserdisc at garage sells and 2nd hand stores. For the past year I have been head over heals again for the great anime of the 80's and early 90's.
I can't wait to trade stories and tapes I find with others that love the older anime.
