Writes about obscure & forgotten anime/manga/games/media at The Land of Obscusion over on Blogspot. Hopeless fan of all things Masami Kurumada. Published (once) on ANN. Living contradiction. He/him... Who again?

Instead of crapping on YouTubers who want to get attention & make people annoyed by calling titles like Escaflowne or Tenchi Muyo! "obscure" or "forgotten", I say visit this here blog, which for ~15 years has focused on stuff that ACTUALLY IS "obscure" & "forgotten"!

Also, I should point out that I plan on doing something similar to The Ages of Jump next year for another manga magazine, though one that'll be ever-so-slightly less ambitious, due to it only turning 35 in 2026.

Still...

In the original arcade version of Final Fight, there's a third button whose function is to escape grabs. It's not wired by default in arcade machines, but was left in the game code and can be accessed via emulation. Here, I tested it via MiSTerFPGA. It was probably used by the devs during QA.

Review #300: Galactic Patrol Lensman!

After 15 years I finally have reached 300 "traditional" reviews!! To celebrate I cover the second of Kodansha & MK Company's infamous anime adaptations of the Lensman series.

Until 2024 this was impossible to watch in full... but was it worth all the trouble?

Too bad they can't have fun & make a season based on the Uwe Boll film now, since Udo Kier just passed away. What terrible timing to make this announcement.
