lol what is there to talk about? Fans still talk about Turn A cuz it gives them actual food for thought. Greco was simply a dumb thing a handful of ppl enjoyed roundly mocking, and that is its total stamp on the gundam legacy: "what a dumb thing that was."

Ok that sounds hilarious and it might actually redeem the series in my eyes

i made it to episode 7 of ex-arm

they were so lazy they created a character who talks through a glowing bracelet so they didn't have to animate the mouth

and then they had a fight with a villain whose power makes you temporarily deaf so that they didn't have to do sound design

Correction: I love Re:Zero spoilers because I love Re:Zero so much and season 2 covered my favorite novel. I barely give a poo poo about most other anime spoilers because "Oh that's cool. These fans will have fun with that. Anyways..."

Also most anime isn't cel animated anymore. Guy's just talking about 2D animation and trying to sound smart about it.

That scene made me not want to give two shits about the show. Haruhi is the worst protagonist since Albert from Gankutsuou

Okay to be fair Tajimi has actually had it's population increase over the past decades. So it's definitely not the birthrate.

Okay chat thread. Bubblegum Crisis. How do?


Should I watch the OVAs first, go straight to the reboot, or what? I may end up just doing the latter out of convenience.

tbh I'm not sure if there's anything specific I want to know right now, other than if there are any good, comprehensive fandom breakdowns, especially the ones that challenge some popular stereotypes/misconceptions. but I guess you've already answered that

Imagine it’s the late 90’s and you love anime. You correct people who say “Japanimation” or “read an anime”. You met your friends at Suncoast or Borders. Pocky is new to you. You and other otaku get together once a week and sit around your huge & heavy TV then press play on your VCR without any clue of what you are about to watch, or if it will even work. While you have moved on from anime, your spouse has not and continued to buy tapes, scrolls, figures, models, etc.

Now imagine it’s decades later and you have 600-700 anime tapes in your basement.

I’m offering all of these VHS's for free. About half of them are legit, factory tapes. These are 13 tapes here per column. There are more bins. A majority of these were viewed once.


The other half, fansubs brought at conventions and elsewhere. These go back three rows.




But that’s not all. You’ll get posters, some figures (note, maybe not these, but others) and models (TBD later). All free!




You also get two VCR’s for free! One of them breaks? Your local thrift shop will have another one waiting for you.



Here are the rules:

* We will not separate titles. We were going to throw all this out, but really we wanted to see if anyone would be interested in taking the whole thing and not letting it go to waste. Let’s say you have an anime club or are just a crazy person. We’re good with whatever.

* I cannot guarantee the quality of any tape. Some may not actually work, or never worked. The factory tapes should be good, but the fansubs maybe not. I will say that many of them are unique to watch as they mock other subbers, call you an rear end in a top hat for buying a tape at Octopus Kingdom and so on. Some were recorded from directly from TV and have the time in the upper right hand corner.

* We live close to New York City. If you are in that area or wish to drive and pick them up, it’s preferred. Shipping will be expensive for you.

* This includes all the tapes as well as a good number of anime action figures and models. I do not know the specifics, but you will get a ton of free stuff.

* If you pick it up, you’ll get everything offered, free bins, as much help as possible loading it, and a good dinner or lunch with drinks if you chose.

I know this is ridiculous and we’re probably going to throw everything out. I was just putting this out there to see if anyone would be interested. Mock away.

You can post here or DM me directly if you are interested.
