I told him the same thing over on Crunchyroll, to no avail. When I saw his first message here, I didn't even have to consider if the username was the same; the obsession with cell phones is a very unique and annoying identifier. |

Unlike Paulie Shore, Clyde_Cash is hilarious. Anyone think he'd mind if I locked him in an unusually shaped scientific enclosure?
Aw, c'mon Justin, you still haven't seen the glory that is Media Blasters' Grindhouse Edition Blu-ray! It's got LD quality inserts and everything! ...seriously, I'll bring wine. (A lot. You'll need it.) You have to see that train wreck, from a video nerd standpoint if nothing else. |

Oh good, it's not just me with the pile of anime series partly watched or not at all that just keeps growing instead of shrinking each year... after 17 (for me) years. Look forward to future columns.

I only keep my 15" CRT TV around because my 22" LED TV won't display my Super Nintendo, N64, and PS1 games properly. Got a PS2, Gamecube, and Xbox which I barely touch. |

Awesome column; I'm very much looking forward to more. As a UY fan, this show sounds like just the kind of thing I'd enjoy.
You're making me want to dive into my own backlog too. Actually, how's this for an idea: what if we all try to watch something from our backlogs during the next two weeks and tell what we watched in the comments next time (in addition to commenting on the article, of course)? The day a new column is posted could be Backlog Reduction Day! And BTW: I have never owned a cell phone (just needed to get that out of my system). |

I was using one of these until 2009. I only replaced it because I couldn't find a new battery for it. I still have it as a backup phone in case my iPhone breaks. Best phone I've ever owned. Back on topic, this show sounds awesome. 80's comedy is right up my alley. Looking forward to more of this column. I've missed Justin's writing. |

Clamshell use has dropped precipitously over the past 2 years in my opinion, as carriers other than softbank started carrying them as well as Android phones.
I'd say it's maybe 60% smart phone, 40% other at this point. |

Congrats on the new column!

I'm excited for this new column, as I was introduced to anime as a kid to things like CCS and Sailormoon, so beyond things of that era I've had next to no exposure to "classic" anime of any quality (Can it really be vintage if it's '80s? That can't be right). I'm eager to change that beyond delving into icons like Ranma, Kenshin, and Hakusho.

Justin it is great to see you in a column again, and one I am very excited to see as well.
And your first choice for topic was Tokimeki Tonight! Awesome pick! As you heard there is a group that has been slowly subbing the entire thing, and that is very very welcome. I first saw a bit of this show back in the late 80's in raw Japanese because a friend of mine's brother had taped it while he was in Japan and was insistent on sharing it, and that was all of it I saw for about two decades. It remained in my mind because it struck me as just so light and delightful, and now that I have been able to watch it in better quality and subtitled it has held up to my memory pretty well. Thank you for the review of it! Another old classic, due to the fansub group "Technogirls" that did "Brother, Dear Brother" aka Oniisama E, is Mizuiro Jidai, They called it "The Blue Green Years", and it is a sort of Wonder Years of anime. I'd love to see that show up in your column. It is an old favorite of mine, and it is slowly nearing completion by another fansubber in DVD quality. |

I still use a "clamshell" "flip phone" whatever. A Nokia 2720. I'm just not ready to talk into a ceramic tile just yet.

I support this idea, my backlog may not be particularly old, but there's stuff in it that i've had for over a year and need to get to. |

That's not my ACTUAL pile of shame, I added 2/3 of the discs in my collection for comedic effect. Of course I've seen HachiKuro/Honey and Clover, as well as the discs they're laying on top of, the Patlabor movies...
That sounds pretty cool! DO IIIIIT! I expect a full report by next column! Thanks for the suggestions guys. I already have enough titles in the queue to keep me busy for quite some time, but some of those (Happy Birthday, Momoko) sound like good bets for down the road. (And Escaflowne??? REALLY??? What am I, a newbie?) |

Okay, phew! I was wondering if that was the case but had to say it just in case it wasn't.
