Our buddy @spaceleech.bsky.social cut a new trailer for Gainazine. Now that the Gainax story is truly over, couldn't hurt to go back to the beginning, eh?

The story goes like this, in 1967 a little girl called Takara’s customer service number, and asked to speak to Licca-chan.
Not wanting to crush a little kid’s dreams, the operator quickly replied “Hello, this is Licca-chan!”
Very cute, totally harmless. …right?
I've slowly been working on series of article tracing the history of Heavy Gear, the VOTOMS-influenced tabletop game that arrived in 1995 and still exists today. The game's origins lay with a couple of early anime magazines, Protoculture Addicts and Mecha Press.

Well here we have a new format added to the Museum. It's CD Video. You know, the short lived audio CD format that could play five minutes of video on your laserdisc player.
Not to be confused with Video CD. Wait. Confusing right?

New Minky Momo OVA announced!
I posted this three years ago in Japanese, but it seems apt to say again:
"If there's a Reiwa Momo, how's she going to bestow dreams and hopes to children glued to their smartphones?"
Yes! I wish I knew how to do layout and design stuff like that but I never took the time to try and learn.
My copy of Anime Herald Magazine #1 has arrived. Voluminous, and from a quick glance, nicely printed. Looking forward to reading it thoroughly.
Happy to see more fan publications enter the space 🙂

Ashita no Joe at the Art of Manga exhibition in San Francisco!!
I’m amazed they got such iconic pages to display. Most of the exhibition goers don’t realize…
Also, I'm only now realizing that I screwed up the original post and typoed the Japanese movie title, so maybe it was my fault that it didn't draw much attention, whoops.
