Pretty uncommon to find anime vhs in my region, when I saw this on marketplace I had to pick it up immediately! All is very clean and apparently was from a collector who recently passed away. Any rare hits in there? Time to start watching!
My friend bought me these tapes while they were in Japan, so I finally have a small anime VHS collection of my own! I've been on the lookout for the last few years every time I pop into my local thrift shops, but the only anime tapes I've ever found were French dubs of stuff like Dragon Ball Z when I was in Montreal, but I'm worse at French than I am at Japanese, so I passed up on them.
They're in fantastic condition, I watched the one on the right (The Weathering Continent) the other night, my Japanese is incredibly limited so I didn't pick up very much of the plot, but I loved the art style (even if it's a bit on the rougher side at times) and overall dreamlike feel of the world! Tonight or tomorrow night I'm going to tackle Bousou Sengokushi, I've heard it's not great, but I'm sure that's nothing that can't be solved with a joint or two.
My mecha tape collection continues to grow
Found vol 1-4 in the wild today. I’ll admit I’ve only seen this in various groups and wasn’t entire sure what it was. After looking into it after buying it, it sounds like a “so bad it’s good” genuinely good time. I do love the white and blue tapes and was pleased to find 3 postcards with them still in great shape.
I walked in the door yesterday on a gut feeling, only to be greeted by the biggest stack of anime tapes I've ever seen behind the counter. I saw the Evangelion spines and about lost it trying to get an associate to come over and let me see them. I paid entirely too much for them being from a thrift store, but outside of getting INCREDIBLY lucky somewhere else it was definitely the cheapest I was ever going to find them for...
Not bad for 200$ Immaculate conditions also!
Found these out and about today. I love the Gold and Silver hard shell cases these were made in. The shiny/holo slip covers look nice even with age. Excited to add these to the shelf!
Has anyone ever seen it ? Or own it ? I've been searching for years and can't seem to ever find it or know if it even exists.... Thanks for any info y'all! 🤝💚
