Anime of Yesteryear Presents: “That little ‘ol OVA: Goku: Midnight Eye”

After having a quiet (yet secluded) Friday night full of countless hours of playing Deus Ex: Human Revolution and the occasional Panzer Dragoon Saga, it was time for me to take my binge drinking feat to the next level, watching yet another old school OVA from the day. After popping in the one of many random tapes I encounter on my near endless VHS shelf, I parked myself on the couch and the world began to spin arou

Merry (late) Christmas to all you good little boys and girls out there. It has been a while since I wrote well… anything for the site. But now that I got some time off before school starts again (and jobless once more), I have all the time in the world to waste away at drinking and watching cassette based anime, oh what a joyous waste of time and life that is. So, there I was Christmas Eve, munching on cookie

So, back again at this I see. I should really see some sort of therapist or go to an AA meeting because these lonely drunken Friday nights are starting to take their toll on me I think. So, there I was, on a booze binge of picking something random from my VHS collection and chucking it into the VCR player, when the minute that Play button gets hit, my mind starts to go out on me once again. When I came too, I see m

So, another Friday night, another shot of Jack, and another hit of japanimation to watch. If you know the story by now, in which you should, this is the part where I start to pass out and into a world of what is on my VHS tape. As I awoke, I found myself surrounded by a heated battle taking place, where its covered by missile fire weaving through jungle brush. I look to my right and see a full size transport with s

Yep, another Friday night, another mixed drink of booze and carbonated soda, and another long lost anime on VHS to jump into before the liquor hits me. When I came too, like many times before hand, I found myself on a hot item of interstellar travel, with radical fans of cyborg baseball hot on the trail as I look out the hatch window. I then notice off in the distance, rapidly approaching at near light speed, a int

Survivor Series: Spotlight- Legend of the Galactic Heroes

I’m a little annoyed at myself for not writing something sooner, but now I have time so I will crank out 2 or 3 entries and save the others for the coming days. Here I’m going to talk about one of the longest running anime out there and one that definitely should get more airplay, Legend of the Galactic Heroes. It spans a 110 episodes in the main series, two movies, and two side stories(one with 52 epis

As I awoke from my friday night binge of anime OVA tapes and booze, I happen to see a smoking wrecked robot on its knees as a dark red liquid was leaking out of the main hatch, with a lone figure standing outside the wreckage, holding something in one hand that could be described as a BFG (for you non-Doom fans, look it up). He wore a dark green cloak, ruffled hair in a ponytail and enough firepower to lay waste an

Hey everyone. So its another Friday night for me filled with my plastic, boxy, large cassettes with images of japanese cartoons from the past with a glass of Jack Daniels by my side as I use to transcend time and space with the man made invention dubbed “blackouts.” When I came to, I found myself by facing two fierce female warriors, with binding spandex and eyes of a tiger, pouncing on the prey of some butch l

  So I’m back on this again, as I happen to dig deeper in the past, as far back as my binge drinking and obscure anime vhs collection can take me. When I came too, I found myself looking at some punk kid, who reminding me of what all of us seem to be at one part of our lives, that part where we don’t know what and where to go in life. Enter the world of 17 year old Akihiko Nomura, or what we’
