The Old School Otaku Lounge

2025 was my last year managing AWA's Super Happy Fun Sell, and in the latest Let's Anime I look back on the seventeen or eighteen years of being in the center of that whirlwind of secondhand commerce! https://letsanime.blogspot.com/2026/02/ ... -sell.html

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

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.
