Some entries in the anime guides got a few sentences. Maybe it's mostly clear what was going on or there's an assumption know general knowledge of the program. Others would get paragraphs and even span pages to detail character importance and points that would be lost. I can tell you it wasn't easy reading with just the light from a doorway shining through! #anime #animeguide #retroanime #baycon #baycon1985 #otaku #otakulife https://www.instagram.com/p/B_oyJp-DbM9/?igshid=w1glb6apkoxb

In the mid-1980s, anime was found in comic book & sci-fi cons in a darkened video room. Subs were rare & dubs non-existent except for a handful of commercial releases. Fan groups assembled guides for con attendees to help explain the plot of the videos being shown. Sometimes a paragraph was all you had to get through 2 hours of anime! #anime #animeguide #baycon #baycon1985 #retroanime #animecons https://www.instagram.com/p/B_oxOwAjBbM/?igshid=1j7iwhixc0wip
