Heh, worst i have is a 16mm print of the same film, though it somehow has English captions of the dubbed dialogue running through the film. I sorta wonder if this was made to teach people to read or for the deaf? Quite an interesting item. |

Why I hardly watch it anymore!
Sad really. I sorta wished we had something like that over here. |

I think it's a shame they didn't. This should've been a weekly event for anyone who bothered keeping their TV license up-to-snuff there! Oh well, it was their loss at the Beeb. |

To make a few corrections. That program block Nickelodeon used to had weekend afternoons was "Special Delivery". I used to watch those a lot back when Nickelodeon was not the powerhouse they've become. Today's Special was the name of a half-hour program that usually aired during the morning/early afternoon hours of what is now Nick Jr. The show was produced by TVOntario.
Heidi, Girl of the Alps actually first aired in Japan in 1974. 1979 was when it's theatrical compilation film was released I believe. And yes, it's a terrific series that Nick should've bothered picking up instead of playing this movie comp. It would've fit in perfectly with Belle & Sebastian! There were a lot of these I only wish were out on DVD here (and no one'll ever fansub the R2 releases either). Here's one from the 70's I bothered tracking down several 16mm copies of... Kum Kum This series in particular was produced by Sunrise of all studios, Rintaro directed the series with designs by Yoshikazu Yasuhiko. Paramount Pictures handled international distribution (though it was never shown in the US), but the English dubbing was handled in Australia, using a voice cast that included the future voice of Bullwinkle J. Moose! Speaking of Run For Life, thanks Mike for having showed me what I just bought two 3/4" U-Matic tapes of... I think the video label that had Run For Life was Children's Video Library, a subsidiary of Vestron Video. I thought I saw this tape once at a store but didn't think to renting it as I didn't think it was going to be that interesting. The clips proved me right! Too often videos like this used to be a common stable of the kid vid section of any store in the 80's when it wasn't the usual familiar titles we've grown up on. Your parents could always end up rending the worst on the shelve and you had to deal with it! And because I tend to pick up things daily in my private archives, here's other anime-related mementos I've picked up along the way! That's all folks! |

God, you're making me remember the bad old days of video production. Jeez, were things a pain in the butt back then. Expensive as well!
Cool collection though. How did you manage to snag the Streamline Fist of the North Star 35mm elements? (Too bad your 16mm prints have all turned red... damn Ektachrome stock.) In the future, could you combine all of the above to one post? I know you're enthusiastic. |

I've had the irrational desire to have an Amiga/Video Toaster set-up ever since I read the cover feature article in Video magazine. Irrational because I've never even done any serious hobby video work, just messing with Betamax decks and a Video 8 camcorder. From checking ebay.com, an Amiga 2000 isn't that expensive (though shipping it to the Philippines will be), not even one with the Video Toaster 2000 hardware and software. Fully tricked out Amiga 4000T with Video Toaster 4000 and Flyer for non-linear editing, though.... At least I can console myself that it's cheaper and more useful than getting a PowerPC-accelerated classic Amiga. Never used an Amiga, so the desire to run OS4 is weak in me. |

I had recently watched the dub of "Blue Sonnet" Ah! Derwin how I miss thee. not And to think they use to fly the VAs over to Carmarthenshire, West Wales as well. I blame it on the jet lag.

That's another old Manga UK dub I'm dying to see. I loves me a good Michael Bakewell dub. (I thought they didn't start dubbing in Wales until very late, like post-Ghost in the Shell era. Which basically includes Psychic Wars, Vampire Wars and Shadow Skill.) |

I know. Need to locate a U-Matic deck now, then perhaps I'll burn off DVD's of "Run For Life" I can unleash upon the world of new tots in the $1 DVD bin at Wal-Mart.
I still don't know how. It's as if I'm buying stuff out of Carl Macek's attic. Either way, it's neat owning something valuable in my collection.
I know how you feel. Anything below LPP is just unspeakable if you don't care for it in the upmost fashion. The only good reason to have it I feel is the soundtrack alone. Just haven't noticed any copies of this film in English floating around there, and I could easily extract the audio and sync it to a DVD if I have to (still have to see how much I can match this perfectly if I bother). Still reminded of the little tête-à-tête I had with DiscoTek that resulted in English audio channels being available for two of their three Toei anime classics discs. If they ever get a chance to go after Hols, Prince of the Sun, I wouldn't mind loaning my print for the hassle.
Will do! And yes, I was being too enthusiastic there.
Heh, or me, it was leafing through issues of Videomaker I'd get at a nearby convenience mart every month that got me all hot 'n bothered at the Toaster and the Videonics equipment.
Makes me which I had one myself. Being reminded of the days I had begged my mom for an Amiga 500 like there was no tomorrow (ended up getting a POS Atari 8-bit from a garage sale instead, and didn't do much on that anyway). Missed out on a good thing there.
I could always buy one of those on eBay if I must, but I have yet to develop a thing for abandonware myself. So far, I'm in a retrogaming phase, and have bought a near-mint ColecoVision with some games and a Super Action Controller included last month (it just begged me to get it in it's original, though beat-up packaging). Just today, my PC Engine came in the mail! |

I wonder how horses would do that strafe-jump in real life.

I remember seeing Derwen on the credits for Shadow Skill (which I picked up cheap in Game or something) after working with Barcud-Derwen on a temp job doing recordings of the Nantygwyddon Landfill Enquiry. They do, or at least did at the time, sound stuff for the National Assembly.
I'm going to be haunted by their little logo jingle of "boys and girls come out to play" all night now.
We had an Amiga 500 and I always wanted a Rockgen Rockey so I could mess around with chromakeying and stuff. I wanted a Video Toaster of course, especially after it made a name for itself on Babylon 5, seaQuest and the like. I remember the Video Toaster making the front page of an Amiga magazine when it finally came to the UK thanks to a NTSC/PAL converter card (the Toaster itself was NTSC-only). |

HAHAHAHA, you'll never escape that!
I'm still pissed I never had one! I missed out on creamy Amiga godoness. |
