| 2369 | Article | Mr Magic | I like fye a lot because they have movies that stores around here don't have. Shows like Kimba the White Lion, DBZ and Hamtaro increased my interest in anime, while movies like Grave of the Fireflies and The Tale of the Princess Kaguya helped as well. Anime has grown on me. | Jul 08, 2015 |  | |
| 2370 | Article | pikachulover | Samurai Pizza Cats was funny my mom got into it a little. Where I live it took over Sailor Moon's old time slot so a lot of people were pissed about that and they expected me to hate it too. I was a closet fan of the pizza cats. Suncoast was expensive. I bought a few anime things there. Remember buying a Sailor Moon backpack there and some Sailor Moon trading cards. The one at the local mall didn't have a very good selection of manga. | Anime memories | Jul 08, 2015 | |
| 2379 | Article | Hoju Koolander | Suncoast Video was the best source for weird/rare videos in the 90's, loved that store! Never got into anime outside of The Guyver, but Ranma 1/2 always got a lot of press, so I was aware of it. | Anime memories | Jul 11, 2015 | |
| 2400 | Article | munkysrench | This is your bro Stephen by the way, lol. I remember the majority of these on TV growing up with you. Toonami was a blast to watch on Friday and Saturday nights when there was nothing left to do on the weekend. I bought the Guyver series as well as the first couple volumes of Voltron on DVD when I first got stationed to Grand Forks. One lesson I learned from that is they were only fun to watch when you're a kid, and don't care about the dialogue. Watching it again was painful as an adult, because nothing anybody was saying made sense (there was a point in the Guyver where an enemy was like, "Feel the wrath of 100 million volts!", like he really didn't know how much power he had). I was glad to see Suncoast, as well as Sam Goody's just because of how obscene their prices were. Good article, bud. Thinking of writing one on here myself soon. | Anime memories | Jul 15, 2015 | |
| 2354 | Article | Vaporman87 | Wow. I've never heard of these actors or these movies, but to discover how popular they were even into the 90's boggles my mind. They're like the David Hasselhoffs of Italy! I've watched a few movies out of Italy, but they were mostly dreadfully awful sci-fi schlock starring Antonio Sabato (not Jr., but his dad). I didn't even know why they were called "Spaghetti Westerns" until just now. Is that sad? LOL | They Called Him Trinity | Jul 06, 2015 | |
| 2355 | Article | jkatz | Vaporman, all I can say is if you love old cheesy b-movies (and who doesn't?), you're cheating yourself by not watching more Italian titles. It's actually quite amazing how one country can be responsible for both highbrow, arthouse cinema and some of the most shameless, trashy schlock possible. Must be something in the water... | They Called Him Trinity | Jul 06, 2015 | |
| 2356 | Article | mickyarber | I remember watching the Trinity movies right after VCRs became popular. My uncle (who was my neighbor) had a VCR, and when the first video store opened in out little town, he was renting a movie every other day or so. My cousin and I watched them during the long summer days with him, and Trinity movies were some we watched that summer. I thought they were good then, but have not watched them since. I'll have to give them another look now. Thanks for the reminder. Good article choice. | They Called Him Trinity | Jul 06, 2015 | |
| 2358 | Article | Vaporman87 | @jkatz - Or something in the pasta. | They Called Him Trinity | Jul 07, 2015 | |
| 2389 | Article | Vaporman87 | Yeah, basically the whole card collecting/manufacturing craze imploded around the time the final movie in the franchise came around, and that is pretty evident here. I actually prefer the simple, plain style of the original series of cards. Reminds me of my days collecting Topps baseball cards. Once Fleer, Donruss, and Skybox got big in the game, things got way too complicated, flashy, and collector oriented. It wasn't about kids picking up cards and enjoying them, it was more about adults who wanted them simply for the value in a Beckett. That bubble burst around the same time that comic book values plummeted. Great retrospective on the Batman series and cards in general Hoju! | Batman Trading Cards of the 80's and 90's | Jul 13, 2015 | |
| 2365 | Article | Vaporman87 | Wow. That's a lot to digest. Clearly MTV had a major impact on you in the 90's. My interest in MTV waned beginning in the late 80's. In the mid-80's, it was the "cool" thing to do to watch MTV and Friday Night Videos, catching the latest video representations of your favorite music whenever time allowed (and someone else wasn't watching the big screen). I can recall pretty clearly sitting with my buddy Phil on one of those crazy looking curved chaise chairs, powering on the big screen TV (the kind that lifted out of the cabinet like some kind of alien fortress), and watching music television. But by the 90's, MTV had run it's course with me. Later, when MTV introduced Beavis and Butthead, Aeon Flux, Singled Out, and other entertaining programs, I started tuning back in. I also found myself fascinated by the first season of The Real World, like you (I HATED Puck!!!). Then, once again, I began losing interest. Since then, I have all but forgotten MTV. You would have to pay me a significant amount of money to watch it at this point. And when they started introducing other channels (MTV2???) just to air videos, I knew this thing had jumped the shark, at least in my opinion. But it will always hold a particularly special place in my memory jar, for those nights long gone, sitting with a friend and enjoying our favorite music set to video. | MTV: The 90's | Jul 08, 2015 | |
