Today's the 20th anniversary of the podcast that got me started, R5 CENTRAL. Amidst the laser sounds & randomness, it was the show that literally got me to where I am today. To celebrate, here's a quick look back. Happy 20th, R5. Until the next. YT Link: youtu.be/po6n2HIhfkA?...

I animated a Power Rangers the Movie 30th anniversary fan film YouTube set my video for kids and killed all momentum over there Do me a favor and hit that repost button #powerrangers

Thanks everyone for coming on this ride with me!! I hope you all enjoyed this series - I'm still in disbelief that I actually managed to pull it off!

I was hoping you could make it to #G-Fest this year! Wore my VH shirt on Friday.

Today on @heroes3podcast.bsky.social we’re talking about Kinji Fukasaku’s 1978 space opera, Message From Space alongside @vintagehenshin.bsky.social !

It’s fun how we all seem to agree that seeing the RX-78-2 is one of the most terrifying things you can experience in the UC. Like every time a Zeon soldier encounters one it’s like “oh fuck oh shit what the fuck is that thing, is that a fucking devil” meanwhile the Gundam is just standing there like

Samantha Jones…Faction Paradox…the Amnesiac Doctor…Sabbath…Iris Wildthyme…Compassion…President Romana… Come with us to 1998, where there’s a party still going on… Meet old friends and new in a treasury of tales celebrating the most joyful of all the Doctors Who. obversebooks.co.uk/product/part...

AnimEigo's interview with Manga Video's founder Andy Frain is here! Such a fascinating insight into how anime came to Britain & so many great stories too. The kid who won the Akira bike, the Daily Mail hate campaign, changing music & adding swears! This is a must watch for all 90's anime fans!

One of the first mecha BL works shown at Comiket was from a rather large Grendizer FC. Daimos had such a massive community of both fujos and non-fujos "shipping" that Tadao Nagahama funded events where they could meet up and make friends. I don't think its fair to say the latter due to Gundam imo

Sale is still going strong! Get in on it while you can!

Teepublic currently has a site-wide sale with shirts up to 40% off! This also applies to the merch we have available on our store front! Get yourself a VH hoodie, sticker, or mug with our designs! www.teepublic.com/user/vintage...

I hate to phrase it this way, but I absolutely have no idea what to do at this point. I'm not getting any sales and I don't know where to sell these where it won't linger in purgatory bad I have to pay out of pocket to keep the listings up, so help would be nice, either by buying or helping me sell.

Eiji Kawamura has passed away at the age of 78. The composer/arranger behind the soundtracks of KAMEN RIDER ZO, GUYVER, DAIRANGER and more. A legend, whose music is a core memory to my childhood & the start of my tokusatsu adventure. Rest in peace. お疲れ様。

Super Rescue Solbrain With Winspector gone, Chief Masaki has founded Solbrain, the next generation of rescue police for the Metal Hero franchise! They have large shoes to fill, but the Solbrain team will keep everyone safe! store.crunchyroll.com/products/sup...

Kamen Rider X Keisuke Jin, the X Rider, strikes back against G.O.D. & their army of fused historical figures including Starfish Hitler & Ant Capone! The battle will be hard, but the other Riders might show up to lend a hand! store.crunchyroll.com/products/kam...

While doing research for this video, I came across this wonderful supercut of Keita Amemiya's often surreal PC displays. Fellow Zeiram fans, you up? @vintagehenshin.bsky.social #KeitaAmemiya #Zeiram

DROP FUCKING EVERYTHING. PEAK HAS RETURNED. THERE IS NOW A TAROMAN MOVIE. youtu.be/7rUv_zY4p9s?...

Ultraman and Sailor Moon support public transportation

Huge breakthrough on this project I expected to be done with months ago - I finally got some of the more finicky discs (like the Gunbuster Encyclopedia Concentrate, which I uploaded to IA almost two years ago(!)) working properly under VM so there will be much more video than I expected at launch

A bit late to this, but nonetheless — Happy 40th Anniversary to the top of the class of Japan’s era of “Battle Dramas”, SUKEBAN DEKA!

Reminder: Toei is sitting on tons of film with no HD remaster

I was a grip on the first season of the Power Rangers. The space behind the Zordon Wall was my team’s favorite place to take turns napping. I can’t look at that image without thinking “There’s a one in four chance I’m asleep behind there.”
