get out!!

Awesome gallery of covers of the Japanese animation magazine OUT - lots of super obscure stuff made the cover. It lasted until 1995!!

I only have one issue of this (thanks Dave N.), didn't see any in Japan or I'd have more.

my anime want list circa 2010

Frequently - well, not so frequently these days, but it happens sometimes - people will want to swap DVDs or files or whatevers of anime, and they don't have a list of what they've got, they just ask me what I'm looking for. And at this stage of the game what I'm looking for is some pretty obscure stuff. But also, at this stage of the game there is a vast secretive network of fan-subtitlers working on projects that I may or may not even hear about, swapping files and links on closed-members-only message boards, so the chances of something I'm interested in making its way to being available for me to watch, those chances are getting better and better all the time.

Yeah, I understand that me asking for swaps might go against the mindset of the 21st century that we should only watch anime that is approved, translated, dubbed badly, bought and paid for from a North American licensor. Well, North American licensees aren't bothering to release the shows I want to see, so until they get off their can and start catering to my whims, they can go fly a kite.

(My attitude is the same attitude I've had since 1990, which is that if it's legally available in North America as licensed product, I don't make copies of it or distribute it. It's an attitude that's served me well for 20 years in all strata of fandom.)

So if you have any of these shows, or know of a ztorrentz or a mega-borgupload where it's available, or of somebody who's fan subbing it, let me know. I will cheerfully swap whatever I have that you might want. No, I won't copy Anime Hell discs for you, come to the damn show and enjoy it in the crowd like everybody else. Thanks! (YouTube links are cute and all, but are worthless for my purposes, which is to say, actually enjoying as a television show as God intended them to be enjoyed. Kthnxbye. )
