I just want to say again, I went to college with the anime club that first fansubbed Utena, and it’s been a real pleasurable surprise to see that one be canonized

I don’t think any of the people who worked on the translation were still around, even the grad students, but it was a canonical part of our rotation such that every undergraduate would be exposed to it once

Up there with what, Eva, Cowboy Bebop, Patlabor (!), I bet they’re not still showing Escaflowne

Record of fuckin’ Lodoss War! You know that one was a guy writing up his D&D campaign?

These schedules clearly having been originally programmed by grad student otaku in the ‘90s

Vampire Princess Miyu. We never got that into Hellsing, guess that stole our vampire loyalty. You know I still scissor my index and middle fingers when I’m trying to exert magical influence, in imitation of how she chimes her rings together?
