Guys don't encourage me. This is what I think counts as a "review".

Gregg Mayles has just unveiled the full plan of Stop ‘N’ Swop, and its glorious!

QUICKVID: how do you find music like game music? i have some thoughts.

Seeing this weird trend where kids don't know popular anime from my youth, but DO know some insanely obscure OVAs that have been sitting Free on Youtube for 15 years. Copyright has paradoxically created an environment where the more popular something is, the less know it becomes.

bought a new VGA monitor so I can still play my MiSTer on a CRT while being able to upscale and capture at decent quality. This is important for those videos I don't make.

Good morning

Guys don't encourage me. This is what I think counts as a "review".

I only saw 380 anime this year. It's so over. letterboxd.com/KennyLauderd...

❄️PUNCH PUNCH FOREVER! Christmas Panic!❄️ new vid out now!! ⚠️YT: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ni4Y... ⚠️NG: www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/...

Falling in love with this anime convention fan animation made in 1992. Dude literally made this in his garage. I wish they still did this for opening ceremonies, but I guess there's too many conventions (we should try to bring this back!) youtu.be/3fWFwByQx5Q

I do not fear the man who has watched 1000 Anime, but I fear the man who has watched the same Anime 1000 times.

AaaaaAAAaaahhhh the French...anime...has always been celebrated for it's excellence... (cut) - Take 403...

Can we take a second to appreciate how insane VHS recordings are? You're taking Radio Frequencies out of the sky, & copying them onto magnetic tape. They're snapshots of the EXACT moment a TV Tower was beaming signals into space. We should be treating them like Ice Core Samples.

"Ah yes, I see you've noticed the PILOT CANDIDATE toy mint in box. $300. No tire kickers. I know what I got."

"Nobody's gonna notice we held our anime together with scotch tape" - Some guy in the 60s

Can I get to 3000 followers before the end of the year? Completely arbitrary, I know. Won't change anything. But if it happens, I will be like, "neat! :)" for a moment

Blocking bots is easy. I'll post some student film that only me & 3 other people from 1984 have seen, that's been lost media for like 40 years, & someone will go "Oh man, I LOVE (impossible to watch anime) I use to watch that all the time when I was a kid". Who are they foolin?

I don't get this hyper obsession with things needing to be widescreen. Do borders scare people? I know some anime was made with the 4:3 to 16:9 crop in mind, but in other cases it's like you're missing 40% of the movie. Laserdisc may be standard def but at least you can actually see the entire film.

& remember

Every time someone asks me what my favorite anime is I say "Tide Line Blue" because I am the only person on Earth who's seen it. I keep assuming someone's gonna crosscheck me on this but I've literally never been called out on it.

You know what? Fair enough.

According to an article from 2016, one of the movies available to Astronauts for viewing on the ISS is Spirited Away. This means Spirited Away has a non zero chance of being the first anime to be viewed in space.

Point Nemo is located at 48°52.6′S 123°23.6′W, & is the place in the ocean farthest from land. It's so remote, that sometimes the closest anime is being watched by astronauts on the International Space Station when it passes overhead. The nearest manga is roughly 1,670 miles away

"And in his last, desperate attempt to quell the roaring emptiness inside him, Kenny started collecting anime on Video-8. Some say they found his name on a tarp behind a Dollar Tree Warehouse, but it was probably kids"

No, I will not "Subscribe" to Crunchyroll to watch Minky Momo. I will have a Super Tanker import the VHS tapes from Japan over a 2 month waiting period. After my anime makes it's transcontinental voyage, I will MANUALLY subtitle the episodes myself with a Commodore AMIGA & a VCR.

I'm tired of Youtube telling me to "broaden my audience". I want to narrow my audience down to three construction workers at a bar in Minnesota who all like anime on VHS for some reason.

One time I rented Animal Crossing from Blockbuster, returned the disc, & then just never powered off my Gamecube. It's so small you can play it without the Disc. I kept my system running 24/7 for two months until an electrical storm knocked out my power. Best $7 I ever spent.

In the 90s, nobody knew what anime was, so they had no idea what I was talking about. Now, EVERYONE is into anime, but I watch the exact same shows so nobody knows what the hell I'm talking about. They say they're writing a Twilight Zone Remake about me.

Calling anything my friends like "Quality Slop", & saying "You just like it because it's good". Slowly watching people around me twist into distorted figures as they try to make sense of my sick & twisted sense of humor. They're calling me "The Pretzel Joker".

Avoiding Dopamine Slop as a Youtuber is like having a grim reaper's Scythe on your neck at all times. "Yesss! Keep doomscrolling YESSS. You don't need to make a new video. Who cares if the bills don't paid. Oh look a new SEGA Genesis rom just got leaked". It's like constantly fighting against demons

Win11 forced on people, then the ram prices go up, then Sata Drives getting discontinued, I can see where this is goin. They don't want you to build a PC to rip VHS tapes digitally. This is a targeted attack against weirdos who watch anime on Laserdisc SPECIFICALLY, & I don't like it.

Japan's obsession with not pirating anime is cute. They'll have "showings" where they say "Come to this ballroom. We'll watch .hack on DVD" just because there's no Blu-Ray yet. Obviously the sane option would be to just download it, but there's a community aspect I really respect

Who are all these rich assholes buying snake oil, instead of hunting & De-oiling their own snakes like normal people?

Conversation Overheard at Walmart: "You got any of them Magnetic Shrimp?" I wanted to correct them, but now all I can think of is shrimp you can stack like Oreos & I'm pissed off that doesn't exist.

I think I'm in a Parasocial relationship with my brain injury induced anime tulpa. She hasn't talked to me since the car crash.

So anyway here's DAICON III in 4K restored from the original 8mm film stock. This wasn't done by me, I'm just spreading the word. The raw file can be found on the internet archive. RIP Gainax. archive.org/details/zgfp...

There's so much wonder in this world.

Told someone I saw a movie on "Apple TV", & pointed at one of these. People tend to get filtered by my humor. I'll say one thing & they'll slowly go insane as I gaslight them with dad jokes. I just want the world to be full of fun & whimsy, is that so much to ask? (Nintendo Make these for real)

Youtube just nuked this from orbit, so here it is, again, on a THIRD site. KEEP CIRCULATING THE TAPES odysee.com/@KennnyCaps:...

Pro Tip: Instead of looking for an anime with a "90s aesthetic", just watch a 90s anime. HUGE time saver.

The amount of people who have opinions on anime they have never seen is staggering. I understand it's easier to put trust in another person, but I don't like that we're normalizing offloading opinions onto other people. Watch a bad anime on purpose one day. You might be surprised

Being a retro anime fan with a platform is rough, because I don't wanna be that guy who goes "all modern anime is bad", & then I try to watch some new stuff & it's machine translated Isekai/D&D parodies that are so bland I forget what all the characters names are.

Looking up old anime on Youtube makes you feel like you're going insane, because you'll watch a movie from 1996 & the first 3 results will be some guy talking in front of a DVD shelf going "This anime sucks more ballz than a crooked bowling alley". Why were we all so mad in 2011?

"What happened to (show that ended on it's own terms, with 5 seasons, & had no controversies whatsoever)?" I hate this Youtube format so, so much.
