Sure, because no one EVER breaks the rules and talks during a movie at home. Seriously, if people are willing to talk during a movie at the theater when you're not supposed to, why would they adhere to it at home? People are more likely to adhere to rules inside a home than at a public facility. If...

The value of cinema is seeing something with people. This is a crowdpleaser so if you wait for it on streaming or red box, you're missing out. Even if they are the "mcdonald's of cinema", those are the films built for the movie theater experience. And yes, it's a clear DB homage. I have r...

These will still deteriorate. I have some from the 1980s in fair to good shape. Others have had the glue in the binding deteriorate causing the issue to literally fall apart. I had stored hundreds in my garage because I ran out of space in the house. That was a bad move as the paper absorbed the wat...

Well, at least my Osamu Tezuka signature is genuine as my bud was there in Minneapolis to get it for me and my Shigeru Mizuki sketch and autograph are genuine as I was at the convention and met him in person. But yeah, with Toriyama being camera shy, getting a real autograph would be as hard as gett...

7 - St Seiya Already happened , though I need to watch past the second episode and see girl Andromeda Shun. Yes, and not to mention the '97 Slump remake series is lesser known when compared the original '81-'86 anime. I've heard it didn't do that well in ratings. That's how it is especially when th...

But I wonder if the Japanese themselves will try to do any of these (or others) as live action series? I always wonder if the sole reason many series from the 60s and 70s got remade in the 70s and 80s was because it was cheaper to do in animation. Akakage, Rainbowman, GeGeGe no Kitaro, Akuma kun, Mo...

Sorry, but no. The teenage version of Jonny Quest was not better than the original, not in my opinion anyway. But I guess we come from different eras with me being a 60's kid that absolutely loved the original series for what it was...a boy's adventure show. It was meant to be watched by pre-teen BO...

Better to support the people who made the various series as they were the ones to suffer for all those years. The reason many animators have to work multiple projects is that there isn't much money in it. Until recently, there was no Union for animators in Japan. This is unlike the U.S. and other pl...

Depends on who is giving the definition. Many times I have seen people, especially lawmakers define anyone under 18 or 21 as a child (kid). Though nowadays young adult seems to be popular in some circles, like movie franchises. But perhaps under 12 or 14 is listed as youth, though TV ratings also li...

I knew about the series as an offshoot from Dr. Slump though I wasn't big on it like I was with kung fu movies out of Hong Kong (though that also became a big passion over time). I was given a copy of the first collected manga for Dr. Slump which I enjoyed, even though I could not read it because ma...

This felt like I discovered some grand treasure. It seemed to fill some kind of entertainment void that other shows I've seen before couldn't even begin to compete with. The characters, the world, the animation, the music, the general feel of it. All the qualities I look for just magically clicked ...

I was born in Japan in the year that DBZ started airing, so... It was hard NOT to know it by living there. Wow, you're only a year older than me? For some reason I thought you had an extra year or two on me. The user name "Kei" was already registered by a different person, so I added &quo...

Magnetic media presents a lot of problems. Chief among them seems to be deterioration of the tape's magnetic material from the backing. This is known as sticky shed. I had heard they had problems with PCM audio recordings of some episodes of GT which required the tapes to be restored through baking ...

I'll send the project info along to people with a better grasp of the subject and see what they say. LD is one thing. VHS/Beta...going to need some help with that I suspect. One guy I know might be interested in a project like that but I've lost track of him. Ah well... Hmmm...it should be possible ...

They were in lots of series as well as night time shows. Nothing new. We have had them over here too. Lots on localized broadcasts. Used to get them all the time for weather alerts from various stations...

If you guys want digitization of old videotapes in professional quality, I can help you out, but sending rare tapes oveaseas is somewhat risky and I don't really recommend it, though. TanookiKuribo's copy of the Funi-Zero dub was accidentally lost when he sent it to someone else by FedEx. Don't get...

I remember my Uncle had Satellite and it was almost always out because were we live in the mountain areas, if it rained ANY! it was gone. haha I remember getting wildfeeds of many shows using a 10 foot BUD (Big Ugly Dish) back in the old days. I recorded many shows that way like Babylon 5, Star Tre...

I recorded as many as possible so I could rewatch them as much as I pleased (if I happened to be watching while recording, I'd stop and start it to cut out commercials so I could fit more on each tape). Then once the DVDs started coming out, I started purchasing those since I wanted to watch it in ...

Good chance that the earliest home media releases came from France or one of the dubs of Spain, due to their beginning several years before the English language BLT dub of 94/95. And it could be from Hong Kong or South Korea for the same reason. It's extremely hard to track down detailed informatio...
