Hey friends. After having open heart surgery in Dec and another procedure in July, I've been left in 10k+ debt while recovering. During this, we were also laid off from Skullgirls. To try to help dig myself out, I have begun listing things on eBay: ebay.com/usr/mshinzan

I don’t think an anime opening has ever made me laugh so hard.

It's well-known that the OG CD of NSB2 has a flourish ending on "Lakeside Story" rather than a fade out on later reissues. However, I did notice that "Mahou no Hitomi" is actually shortened by a few bars on the 1991 CD (the difference is about 50 seconds).

Got this in the mail: the original 1984 CD release of Niagara Song Book 2 by Niagara Fall of Sound Orchestral (I already have the 1991 remastered CD of this album).

Apparently it came from a radio station in Hawaii, so there are some writings in the booklet for some songs.

Funny that I see this bc I believe I have all the clothes needed to pull off a Ken Kubo cosplay. Dunno if I wanna do it for Halloween tho

Once again making silly things for the podcast instagram 🎃

An image that says "Got my Halloween costume squared away:", and its a photoshop of an "Oldtaku" bagged costume. The image on the front is of Ken from Otaku no Video holding a ton of VHS. Text on the costume bag reads: "OLDTAKU. Costume includes: vintage anime button-up shirt, bootleg VHS w/handwritten label, huge backlog, bottle of ibuprofen. "

Finally had the chance to watch the TV Tokyo special for myself (rental copy, can't show anyone else, apologies) and while they're not the focus you -can- briefly see my oshi corner, so that makes me happy.

(Also hi! That's me on the left there! In my own home!)

My stupid gaikokujin ass at my office desk, surrounded by a frankly ridiculous number of anime collectibles. You can see the Senpai corner in the middle-ish of the screen, to the left of the monitors/the Constructicons.

Non-"blendy" telecine of a composite print of the Toho Champion Festival version of the 'King Kong vs. Godzilla' trailer that features on the 1991 Toho LaserDisc (capped by @mitchhang.bsky.social), but was not ported to the 2001 DVD release, where the familiar "blendy" telecine was utilized instead.

This was me a bit before I started HRT cosplaying as Queen Millennia and holding a cel.

Now I'm years on HRT and have just gotten the series not only in America but in HD which I never thought would actually happen

This one's a trip. It's got exaggerated faces, mecha warfare, plenty of character cameos -- Mendou from Urusei Yatsura gets blown up in one scene -- and the fact that the main villain is named "Rory Conn" (I don't have to explain what that name suggests).

Found this on YouTube while searching for old fan animations similar to the Daicon openings. It was uploaded over 15 years ago, and the description says that some of the people who worked on the project later made it big in the anime industry.
