The Old School Otaku Lounge

I watched Saint Seiya on rental tapes from the Japanese grocery store as it was airing in the 80s, and I also caught some of the "Knights Of The Zodiac" version on Cartoon Network. https://letsanime.blogspot.com/2022/04/ ... odiac.html

Mecha-May and Mew-Bot 5000 explore the 1985 TV anime, SPT Layzner, a robot show that explores what it's like to live under an occupation! Does it succeed or does it go up in smoke?

Travel back in time to 1975 and look at what Japanese animation was up to in that amazing year with the latest Let's Anime! https://letsanime.blogspot.com/2025/10/ ... world.html

NEW LET'S ANIME!! Is this pamphlet from an obscure 1970s toy line the first time Japanese comics appeared in English? Team up to defeat the invaders with UFO COMMANDER 7!! https://letsanime.blogspot.com/2025/09/ ... der-7.html

It's a time slip back sixty years as Let's Anime looks at what anime looked like six decades ago! https://letsanime.blogspot.com/2025/08/ ... -moon.html

it was a lot of fun to do, I love watching these goofy dubs with friends!

I see some of the view counts are ridiculous, it definitely points to automated something doing something.

happening tonight!

that bad dub is a real deal breaker, as it is for so many titles.

Steve Harrison found the VHS of this 1982 cable show, now here it is for everyone! Thrill to Toei's NYC office, be awestruck by the toy collection, and be intrigued by a short English-dub segment of a Queen Millennia TV episode! It's all waiting for you... Beyond The Horizon! https://youtu.be/0RDOk6...
