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?...

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!

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。

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

"Rewind the VHS!" is a japanese TV program that regularly re-airs old OVAs, like "Gosenzo-sama Banbanzai" obscure anime (1989) by Mamoru Oshii & Satoru Utsunomiya (the rebroadcast begins in a few days, on CS Satellite Theater). news.pierrot.jp/eigeki-gosen... www.eigeki.com/special/vhs_...

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.”
