The Old School Otaku Lounge

Translator and fan Neil Nadelman recently uploaded some vintage 1984-1987 issues of Final Stop Andromeda, the newsletter of the Boston Japanimation Society. If you want to see what the Boston fans were up to and what they thought about anime at the time, this is a pretty good snapshot of the time and the place!

Fantastic!!

If anyone is curious about the art director, they have an old-school official website: https://www.weirdcrap.com/frankstrom/biography.html

These are a real treat, thanks for sharing! My favorite part of fanzines is the original art that they drew themselves, in this case, Frank Strom's.
The more uploaded on archive.org the merrier, I say.

I thought this cover by Motoi Sato was pretty nice.

Very cool to see these! Very interesting in that 1984 issue looking at those long running series and how Sazae-san was ignored even in the early days.
