The "Golgo 13" anime (from 1971) will be released on Blu-ray in Japan.
This series was considered lost until the masters were found two years ago.

This is the cover that spurred trying this game out earlier this evening and then scrambling to playthrough and write about it.

It's GLORIOUS. One of Terada Katsuya's finest.

So anyway I restored Daicon IV from scratch. This was a joint project with Chris Person (papapishu), who sourced the incredibly Rare Laserdisc release. The raw files can be found on the internet archive for those interested in processing it yourself. Enjoy! archive.org/details/DAIC...

When j-pop, anime, and western fantasy combine - Ultima III for Famicom!

Richard Garriott confirmed several years back that an Exodus anime was made (though unbroadcast) and hinted that he had tapes of it.

Hideo Kojima says big-budget games today are safe and tremendously boring 🎮💤

“People making military games probably don't know how to dismantle or shoot a gun… that's kind of sad”

“[I do], because I've been doing this training … and I learned so many ways to kill people”

He did not elaborate

There was going to be a Spice Girls anime, but they cancelled it. We were fucking ROBBED.

Found a weird one today. A strange Lupin style anime about Kidnapping girls to rule the world. It has this bouncy Tiny Toons look, & was never sold outside Japan. It also has a girl in a Princess Leia costume for 1/3 of it. Nothing looks like this anymore, not even cartoons.

The death of Freezer blew my mind when I was a kid. Makes me want to play mgs rising every time I see it.

Gave myself a little treat. A new artbook by Masamune Shirow. I was hoping for more tank police, but I still highly recommend it. Might do same scans later.

“Ghost in the shell” had a surprisingly fun game on PlayStation. It also had amazing cutscenes that perfectly replicated the original look of the manga.

I’m replaying resident evil 4 again. It’s been 20 years. Am I ever going to stop?!

“Birdy the mighty” had some great fight scenes. Give it a watch.

Imagine living in 1988. The only animated movies you’ve seen are from Disney and you go to the cinema to watch akira for the first time. Must have been a mindblowing experience.

My remaster of The Weathering Continent is finished. I did a 200gb decode of a brand new Laserdisc & returned it to the frame rate it was mastered at. Final render is 23.6GB with the highest visual clarity possible. Yes, this even beats that sideways DVD they released ages ago in America.

Black magic m66 is the perfect mix between terminator, predator and 80s anime. It took me way too long to finally watch it for the first time. Don’t repeat my mistakes.

Collecting obscure Japanese manga is such a thankless hobby. I can’t even read these!!! Anyway here are some scans from my latest purchase. Basara tank corbs by Mikiya Mochizuki
