Years of softly searching for this pinup have paid off. Found in an issue of Fanroad from 1988. Scanned & masked the single horizontal crease. Uncertain if it was ever printed larger than 10x14, but know that it was featured on the AnimEigo VHS/Riding Bean Combo LD, along w/ the JP VHS clamshell.

Atari ST. Loading Dragon's Lair II from multiple floppy disks, is not an experience one forgets easily.

80 years later, an event we should never, ever forget, in hopes that it should never be repeated again. www.youtube.com/watch?v=vI9Q...

Aside from being heavily saturated & hyper competitive, along w/ the addition of A.I. now most assuredly eliminating many people from simpler solo reads (for advertising), how many have an education in legitimate acting, or have attended multiple workshops on proper mic technique / vocal coaching?

Those two words trigger a mental image like this in my head by default. We're cooked.

I promise you, with every fiber of my being, this would have been awful. We're talking full on, retroactive taint to the manga & existing film.

In my head, that Crunchyroll logo reads: "Remember who your daddy is". Has that energy.

Are there any limitations to porting NES games to the SNES? Hypothetically, could the entirely library be ported, one by one (as these have been)? Hoping for a few specific games, this was one of them.

That brightly lit room and giant screen, can't substitute for the dimly lit party rooms & animatronic stages from Chuck E. Cheese in its prime. Am I hallucinating about the animated wall decorations lining those rooms? Everything in this clip feels so sterile, so 'safe', nothing to spark wonder.

Personally the most relevant social media post I've read in quite a while. Thank you, Dave. Appreciate your words.

Talk about living in bubble. Who on your social media "team" thought this was a great idea to drive engagement, and NOT be ratio'd to hell & back? Tone-deaf as can be. I fight w/ myself *everyday*, to maintain my verbal composure in regards to your inheriting the Dirty Pair Kickstarter campaign.

Hell of a spread right there, fanned out with pride. *Incredible* remaster that's a North American exclusive (at the moment).

Doing some long overdue housecleaning on my YouTube channel, primarily by writing a number of descriptions for videos that were lacking them, providing better context overall. Here's one I upped yesterday: youtu.be/zkLpQ_PG-gw?...

16mm print of "Manga Sekai Mukashi Banashi: Alice in Wonderland" (1977/1981), English language dubbed adaptation by Fred Ladd. Shipped this out to @kinekovideo.bsky.social for scanning today. Should yield a decent capture of the dub audio pulled from the optical track.

Popped another full episode up on my channel, this time w/ audio captured directly from the F.H.E. LD. For anyone curious as to how original, uncompressed broadcast audio sounds in comparison to the modern 5.1 mixes, take a listen: youtu.be/JFBoHw7XaJ0?...

Saw this posted over on Reddit. Anyone here have any info on how many of these may have been produced?

Robert touches on the fascination of "discovery" in this episode. That's precisely Star Blazers, Robotech, etc. did for early enthusiasts. We saw this stuff on TV (unlike anything else at the time), and it was powerful enough for 7-12 year old kids to say "How do I get more of *this*?"

Yessir.

Once again running CIRCLES around *another* KS campaign.

せんぼんまつばら 川と生きる少年たち / Senbon Matsubara (1992) / Satoshi Dezaki / Mushi Pro / Magic Bus: The hefty 35mm reel set for this colorful, ecologically themed historical drama, was quietly dropped on my porch this morning (earlier than expected).

This is an *excellent* interview that goes the distance in clarifying Carl's industry involvement, from his own mouth. If you DESPISE Robotech, you owe it to yourself to listen to the entire 2+ hours, finding the information that backs up your hatred: www.animenewsnetwork.com/anncast/2010...

I've been around the block w/ all of this. Was glued to the set when it initially aired. As accessibility to more original Japanese material grew (via raw VHS bootlegs, etc.) regrettably took the 'purity' stance of immaturely dumping on what Carl had actually accomplished. Older & wiser now...

You're never too old to watch an unhinged, animated duck have a psychotic break in the presence of total strangers. 10/10, will watch again.

Video clips up to 3 minutes, but still 50MB max. H.265 (HEVC) works pretty well for clip prep given the constraint.

Testing out the ability to share lengthier video clips, w/ a non-potato-quality sample of these OAVs, including the end credits which oddly feature a song titled "Homeward Bound" by Patrick O'Hearn.

Need a laugh? Landing a brief spot on Andy's Call-In Show wasn't on my 2025 bingo card. The whole episode is definitely worth a listen, and I pop in near the tail end at 49:23: open.spotify.com/episode/1X3R...
