The Old School Otaku Lounge

I came across this video that was on someone's personal recordings off the sci fi channel anime airings. During the commercial breaks of Gall Force I saw these interviews that sci fi channel did to promote anime on their stations in the 1990s.

I was able to compile all the promos I saw on these video files into one and stuck it on youtube and put it on my podcast twitter. I guess for me is does anyone know how sci fi did their other Festival of Anime spots, and which con was this filmed at? My guess might be an early anime expo con but I could be wrong.

I thought Prisoners of Gravity might have covered anime back in the day, but I guess I was mistaken:

Might have had something on Space channel but I'm not sure.

From what Trish Ledoux has said on twitter, she told me that it was Anime Expo 96 is when their "on the spot" interviews were. I'm assuming the Japanese guests had a room to do all their interviews at as well. She went by the guest list that year and it seems to check out.
