RIP Otakon Ice Cold Water guy, we held a memorial service
Today is a key date in Deaf Crocodile history, because on this date in 1981, FRANKENSTEIN: LEGEND OF TERROR was released in Japan! Deaf Crocodile will be releasing the newly restored Blu-ray of this gory yet humane spin on the classic tale this October! #deafcrocodile #bluray #toeianimation
40 years ago today. Personally, Robotech: The Movie is more than the sum of its parts. As a film, it's...not great. But as a landmark of the burgeoning anime market outside of Japan at the time, it's a significant indicator of the growing pains the business endured, to bring us where we are in 2026.

I saw a scant mention of the Dirty Pair Kickstarter in reference to Crunchyroll’s ongoing tomfoolery, and thought it’d be a good idea to reshare my investigation into the situation.
Anime News Network@animenewsnetwork.com · 6mo agoDirty Pair fans came out of the woodwork to back this project—to the tune of US$731,406 what they got were years of delays, authoring problems, and a disc wrapped in a napkin. What happened?

This Saturday (7/25) is the 40th anniversary of Robotech: The Movie's limited test run premiere. To celebrate, I'll be dropping an encode from a Domesday Duplicator capture of the PAL LaserDisc, along with a brand new HD recut, utilizing the disc's audio.
Tad late, but thank you for over 30,000 subscribers on YouTube!! (Well, should really be thanking Sea Cat, it's been popping off lately!) youtube.com/kinekovideo
It is really interesting to see just how many companies, especially in tech, have completely forgotten the purpose they're supposed to serve, and their sole mission is "boost shareholder value". If you don't make something people want, you will fade away eventually.
With @discotekmedia.bsky.social we've put together a list of their titles that are out-of-print. This list will be kept updated. mediaocd.com/out-of-print... If it's out of print nab a copy while you can. Some have been part of the Deep Dives at the MediaOCD store mediaocd.com/brand/discot...
Time for a new batch of @discotekmedia.bsky.social Deep Dives! Get them while you can, some of these are getting pretty hard to find. A few also have limited stock. www.mediaocd.com/category/dis...
Sealed, extra copy arrived a few days ago. $45 shipped (as pictured) within the US for anyone interested. Please DM if you'd like to scoop it up.

It doesn't *need* to? Tonally, it's been mildly jarring when the show and its respective characters have been included elsewhere (outside of Echo). Crossovers were always fun to read in print, but are a little trickier to pull off in more grounded, live action TV fashion, without the seams showing.
Adam Mallinger@bitterscriptreader.bsky.social · 6mo agoGod forbid a show’s deepest aspiration isn’t to contort its narrative to force in cameos from characters they aren’t even responsible for and who don’t have something to contribute to their narrative deadline.com/2026/02/dare...
The latest installment of "The Anime Business" is live, and it's another banger. Members only, but well worth the $$$. Personally see this series every bit as important to the anime realm, as what Frank Cifaldi, Jeremy Parish, and others are doing for documenting video gaming's roots.
Kogawa had a thing for fairies, change my mind.

As our small team of QC Discord members were busy ripping the content of the discs for better accuracy in reporting issues, I factored in the task of an alternate (re)design of the case insert for the TV Series, which better represents what exactly is *in* it.
Coop@riderstrike.bsky.social · 6mo agoOh boy, this one took a little while. In my latest for ANN, I take look into the game of Ru-Ru-Ru-Russian roulette that was the Dirty Pair Kickstarter campaign. From pandemic-related delays to company buyouts, Kei and Yuri had more than a few hurdles to clear on the road to release.
Took time, patience, a fair amount of luck, and a little $$$, but I've managed to get a PAL LaserDisc copy of Robotech: The Movie passed through a Domesday Duplicator. Not *perfect* (at least visually), but it didn't need to be. The audio however, is what makes it all worthwhile...
Not to be overshadowed by the Rave Racer announcement, this also is incredible news. Legend of the Mystical Ninja alone is a fantastic game, and to this day an amazing flex of the SNES hardware. Still one of my favorite OSTs.
