TL:DR Japanese fans are now recording the new Urusei Yatsura on VHS and Betamax. Anyone here crazy enough to do the same? The biggest problem seems to be finding blank tapes. A long time a go I came across an Ebay listing for packs of 2 blank tapes for $50.

I've got some blank VHS tapes in an old cabinet in my basement. Folks in Japan are lucky since they can just record it from live TV if they have a VCR, but we might have to do some sort of PC-to-CRT TV deal, using an HDMI to AV converter. I have a friend who uses his CRT as a computer monitor regularly, so I'll have to ask him about it.

My nostalgia has a limit. I like good picture quality, so I prefer digital recordings over analog.
I do still have a bunch of recordable VHS tapes lying around though. But I don't believe I have any VHS players anymore, if I had any, it would be at my parents' house. My mother would likely have tossed them by now.

I'm actually having a ton of luck finding blank VHS tapes off eBay. You can find a lot of people reselling their pre-taped VHS tapes (great source for finding rare TV recordings or TV-only edits of certain shows/movies), but also if you know a specific line of tapes you're looking for, there are lots of people selling tapes in bulk. I just put in a couple offers on a couple listings of Fuji A/V Pro tapes for some VHS fansub trading.
