Other places I lurk
Twitch: twitch. tv/kennylauderdale
Youtube: @ kennylauderdale_en
I have a few other places, sites I dump random stuff, but honestly I'd rather people just stumble on them at random. It's more fun that way.

I'm gonna do what they call a 'Pro Gamer Move" & just ask directly. Please follow me on twitch. I don't even care about the site, I just want another place I can reach people in case something happens.

There was a time where Suncoast Video was selling the Trigun DVD box set for $280+tax. This may seem insane, or like I'm misremembering things, but I swear to you this is what anime use to cost. You have no idea how good you have it.

The fact we only have the Sonic OVA soundtrack because some guy thought "maybe I can look through the credits & just ask each person who worked on it politely" is really funny to me.

Didn't anime use to last 52 episodes?

"Robot Detective" has to be my favorite design in Japanese media. It works well every time it's done.

Can't stop thinking about 1950s live action Astro Boy & his cursed sausage hands.

There's always a few copies for sale online, but nobody ever buys them because they fail VERY often. Even the old Orphan release from 2016 has some pretty bad horizontal black lines from where oxygen is eating into the disc.

Notes: As with the previous release, finding a Laserdisc of this that works is beyond me. In theory, stacking 5 copies of the LD & then color correcting it is the way to go, but as this Anime is notoriously known for being susceptible to Laser Rot, this is the best we get. Still a massive upgrade.

Presented for the first time ever, a NEW Version of 1985 anime NORA, painstakingly remastered from my hacked VCR. Enjoy!
Improvements vs. the Laserdisc.
- Correct Colors (Previous Rips were Faded)
- HiFi Audio from Linear Tape Capture
- Ghost Frames Removed, Various tweaks.

If you can't click TWO things to find the source of a random image on Bluesky you're not gonna make it. You will not be prepared for the uncaring world that presents itself.

Kenny Lauderdale @kennylauderdale.bsky.social · 1d

I'm not gonna post sources. Learn to check my Letterboxd or click reverse image search. You can do it. I BELIEVE in you!

Just found a Public Access TV style horror show by Go Nagai & it IMMEDIATELY devolved into tokusatsu porn. As expected of the master. (look at him in his Dracula tape, all cool about what he's about to release on an unsuspecting VCR)

Ok this rocks. A laserdisc of every female Tokusatsu villain from 1968-1993.

Don't have enough money for the electricity that would cost.

Kenny Lauderdale @kennylauderdale.bsky.social · 2d

Nah you were plenty helpful. I'm going to do decodes of everything I talked about on my main channel & then once I have something to show for it I can Yolo all those renders into a sort of "When have I been/ here's what I accomplished" video. Got a TON of lost media I want to upload after.

Kenny Lauderdale @kennylauderdale.bsky.social · 2d

It's amazing how much better VHS-Decode got in the past year. This new video I'm making is going to look SO good.

Is that why you keep throwing car batteries into the Ocean? To "Return them to mother Earth"?

Technically there's a re-release of The Little Mermaid from the same club that MIGHT (might) have come out later by like, a week, but I'm not counting that. Nobody mention Alien Romulus to be btw, you know that doesn't count.
