This blog is dedicated to one man's collection(and other people collections if they are willing) to show the world what anime was like, to show the way things were before the dark times, in this futuristic year of 2000!!!!
Here is one of the panels I was grateful to do for AWA online back in December of 2020 where I focused on bad anime dubs. This takes maybe, possible, totally direct inspiration homage to the old Corn Pone Flicks BAD videos Matt Murray, Dave Merrill and a handful of other Atlanta based anime fans did to mock what was considered bad back in those times (almost 30 years geez!) I plan on putting more on this site like I said in my last post which will happen in due time, but this will just have to suffice for now. Enjoy!
I know that just about every single post on this blog is dedicated to scanning and uploading my personal collection, followed by my lack of interesting opinions for certain columns, but I thought I would share this with you today. With a week away from Animazement 2015 to again make its mark on Raleigh NC (and my roughly 6 hour drive to get there), I occurred to me that on a random youtube search for "trish ledoux animazement," I came across a video someone did of one of her and Toshifumi Yoshida Saturday panel from last year's Animazement that my magazines were featured in this video.
To sum up the story, I usually bring a handful of Animag or Animerica stuff for Toshi and Trish to autograph every year if there at the convention, and last year I was willing enough to have them use some of the issues I had as a prop for one of their panels. I'm just happy that it was featured in someones video that was literally a few feet from me on the first row with out me ever knowing about it till today. Even though this isn't a full panel video, it does briefly explain Toshi and Trish back story on how they got into the anime industry.If you want more on my convention report from last year, here is my podcast episode about it. See you guys in a while, because I'll have plenty to scan...
I was told to keep a secret for about 2 weeks now, but now that the Grey Ghost has posted this to his podcast, I will now share the panel I was producer and star of, the "What the ?!? moments in anime!" (Originally titled: What the Damn?!? moments in anime)
So here it is in all its glory (and family friendly...sorta):
