I grew up on vague memories of Speed Racer. My formative years in gradeschool were spent watching way too much Star Blazers, G Force, then the glut of giant robot shows in the 80's (Grandizer King! woot). I still treasure my full collection of fansubbed Maison Ikkoku (~83 eps and a summer special ova). Was too late to get in on the fansubbed Ranma 1/2 series before the license got bought up and all fansubs destroyed or permanently archived. And when Animeigo got to do Urusei Yatsura, I started collecting those boxed sets. I know there's more but my set ends on the 50th dvd.
p.s. Do you know where I can find a copy of "The Excellent Anime Adventure 1993" and "1995"
I somehow lost my vhs tapes in the years moving from place to place.
It's a 4 or 6hr mix of anime, fanvids, a brilliantly hilarious fan
dub, mind altering snippets from Bob Dobbs and the Church of Sub-genius, and weird Japanese commercials. The fellow who made it, used to live in FL.
