Too early in the day to be asking this? Am I so out of touch?

Yes.

>>146087951
The thread's only been up for 10 minutes man, give it time.

Out of all the tapes there I think I'd be most interested in the random Japanese tv shows ones for some reason.

>>146087863
That Dbz movie with the guys from another planet using a sword

>>146087863
Probably around 12 years ago

I want to say thirteen years ago. My stepmom used to record Sailor Moon on VHS and mail them to me in secret, because my guardian proclaimed the series to be a promoter of witchcraft, and wouldn't let me watch it.
I owned the R movie, too.

>>146087863
DBZ back in like 01'-02'

I still own a bunch of VHS tapes but the last VCR I owned broke over a decade ago.

I'm almost 20 and got into anime in ~5th grade, back then youtube was already a thing.

Unfortunately for you, Japan stopped making VCRs just last month

>>146088229

Nobody has made a decent VCR since 1994 anyway. The second they become popular enough, every company made them as cheap as possible.

>>146088229
VHS was a shit format anyway. Another example of substandard products achieving market dominance if you just push them enough.

Good taste if thats your collection. I don't see Tenchi Muyo though. Ryoko is still mai waifu

15 years ago
I only rented anime on VHS and never actually owned any. Also once i got my PS2 I said goodbye to VHS.

>>146087863
Never, I only watched anime on TV. Have you thought about digitizing that shit before the tapes degrade too much?

Not mine. Some guy's collection that had to be thrown away/donated when he got married.

If she was this demanding before the wedding, imagine afterwards. Fuck 3d.

I'm triggered. Also, is that dubbed? If so, I feel for you. The dub of the TV show was horrendous.

I remember when this would've been a gold mine back in the tape trading days.

I'm an old man now. Where has the time gone?

for a second there i couldn't figure out how those vhs's were floating.

jealous of those KOR tapes. I guess maybe like 20 years ago or so.

What was anime like in the 80s & 90s anon? Tell me a story.

>>146088849
I sure hope those are softsubs.

Last week, I have a Turn A Gundam Moonlight Butterfly Tape that is my holy grail of anime stuff. No group name, no website, no email, or irc info. I've researched who could have mad it simply out of curiosity but haven't had any luck.

Are those pictures of your personal collection?

Fuck off, Sony, and kill Aniplex while you're at it..

I used to tape Escaflowne for my brother when it aired (in 2002) but I'm not sure if I watched those myself.

>>146088911
I think he may be making a joke.

>>146088201
My parents were also against anime. No idea why but they hated it for some reason. Then years later when I lived on my own I started to watch anime because of 4chan

2007. My VCR is still alive and strong.

The First Pokemon movie, probably.
So shit, around 1999 I guess.

I saw a rather sizable collection (multiple shelfs) of official anime VHSs at Goodwill some months ago. Most spanned the decade of the 90s. The oddity collector in me wanted to buy them, but the huge amount of space and their general uselessness (and at 2 bucks a VHS, the cost was way too much) made it prohibitive.

I'm sure they all ended up in the trash. That goodwill was in the sticks so I tend to imagine some guy living in the middle of a cornfield died or got married.

I've still got a couple robotech VHSs I'm seriously considering getting rid of as well as Little Nemo and some assorted episodes of the hello kitty and keroppi anime.

yes it was last Friday watching an off-air recording of GITS 2nd Gig, I am surprised the tape (and tape recorder) held up after thirteen plus years since I brought them out.

Every single day when I watch HorribleSubs 1080p upscales. Sometimes I even put scanlines on it for true nostalgic flavor.

>>146089450

There's literally nothing wrong with streaming HorribleSubs.

>>146089483
Unless you dislike bad quality.

Had pokemon and dbz vhs last time I used a vhs was probably 1999.

>>146089520

Who didn't. A friend of mine had EVERY Dragon ball Z episode on VHS, plus all the movies, plus all of Dragon Ball. One wall in his bedroom was literally dedicated just to DragonBall on VHS. He even had the Uncut & cut versions separated.

Shame I lost contact with him. I wonder where those tapes are now.

>>146088180
This

pretty much owned the vhs for every anime that showed on toonami up until -maybe- early 2001, if that means anything

i sold them years ago to pursue other things, like dodge chargers and such

>>146089420
I've had them for a long time, I had a lot more but I don't think I will ever find them again, I used to have Ah My Mini Goddesses, You're Under Arrest and bunch of miss-matched VHS.

Shame they're all slowly de-magnetizing. who knows how long they could last. I have tapes recorded off TV from 1989 that look brand new when played, but most of my VHS look terrible & don't track properly anymore.

>>146088499

Either contribute to the topic or don't.

>>146090363

Same, Although I donated just about all of mine.

>>146087863

Around 2001-2002. I remember it was horribly sub-titled, badly recorded, Azumanga Daioh.

>>146087863
It's been at least 15 years, but I went digital as soon as it was an option.

>>146090768
>You will never know what it feels like to push a VHS tape into a VCR.
I know people in this day and age that don't even know how to use disk.

I retrieved some old VHS tapes from a ex girlfriend in 2006 and there were some dubbed episodes of Saint Seiya and Rayearth in some of those tapes, so I would guess 2006 or maybe 2007 was the last time I did watch anime in a VHS tape.

How are they holding the tapes up like that?

>>146091777
magnets

nice trips

>>146091777
The picture was taken in Australia.

I remember last time I watched it on Laserdisc. Looks great; especially compared to many of the discs I get my hands on that suffer from age.

>>146089450

You can't see those in an interlaced video unless you pause...

What a fags. Kei was always the best

>>146092345
Yuri is a more traditional girl while kei was a tomboy. Nips hate proactive girls, see Rei vs Asuka, all haremshit

The fuck is this?

>>146092901
Its what old people have, because buying new copies of things you already own when a new media format comes out is retarded.

Anyways, I have a dual DVD/VCR and basically inherited all the VHS tapes I want from my parents (along with their records), but no anime tapes.

>>146093054
Got any home made porn from your parents mixed in the lot?

I'm so glad we have straight up digital formats now. The amount of VHS and DVD's i fucked up by constantly rewinding scenes i like.

>>146093054
>Its what old people have,
Is there a cure for it?

>>146093090
I didn't take any recorded tapes.

As for the format, I like watching anime on a tube TV (fortunately kept my nice mid 2000s tube mostly for vidya), but I don't have any attachment to VHS specifically. Tapes in general are very susceptible to wear and age.

No, but I still have all the tapes I bought from Suncoast video back in the day.

>>146093242
Death, it will happen to you too.

There was a Chinese supermarket by my house that sold anime on VHS tapes. Since I was a kid it was either Zoids or Yuyu hakusho.

>>146087863
The last time I remember was around 2001 or 2 when I was showing stuff at anime club in high school.

>>146089450
I know this is a joke, but is there any decent crt shader for mpc-hc? Found a couple, but they weren't very good.

>>146092477
And japs even back in day had shit taste. They probably didnt like Noa Izumi either

I still have recorded Cowboy Bebop on VHS

>>146087863
about 14 years ago. I watched the first vhs of trigun with my dad.

Yes, the Digimon movie, at least 10 years ago.
I watched it countless times.

>>146087863
Not really. Got everything in digital form and recycled the fuck out of old tapes. they took up too much space.

>>146087863
spic dub heidi, long long ago

>>146091317
Don't you know there was more than one?

I used to rent that shit all the times when I was young.
