Did you grow up on Speed Racer, Star Blazers or Robotech?

Then this might be for you.

Rules:

1> Vintage is in the eye of the beholder but probably pre 2000s is a safe bet.

2> Discussion of new release of old shows is welcome

3> Discussion of unofficial releases should be limited to shows that are not currently available outside of Japan otherwise.

4> Have fun!

Hey, I’m Rem, remino on SDF, 41M, living in Japan but from abroad.

I watched some anime on TV when I was a kid, mostly stuff dubbed in French, but years later, I got deeper into some of them. However, I couldn’t afford them, except one VHS copy of Ghost in the Shell, and one episode of AikA which was not what I was expecting back then. I also liked Sailor Moon, but never got into Dragon Ball. I was mostly hanging out in the chat room of AnimEigo, and a kind soul mailed me pirated copies of Evangelion, whom I’ve never thanked properly.

If you’re wondering where I’m from, I’m sure the above will give you enough clues to guess it. ;)
