#old sites

[seekerbr]

I explored a bunch of anime websites from the 90s/early 2000s, and found a bunch of interesting ones that I wanted to show off somehow, so I'll do it by showing some reviews of Yu-Gi-Oh season 0 I found on them; Most are from before the 4Kids dub of Duel Monsters aired, so yeah, old

To start, we have Thentavius's Underground, that liked it and gave it an 7/10

This site is called Anime Meta-Review, run by a guy called Andrew Shellton, who thought YGO it was okay

This one is from a guy called Cryptochrome, that hated it a lot and thought it "was most blatant commercialism he had ever seen"

This one's from a site called Shoujo & General, focused more on, well shoujo, and it's of Duel Monsters instead of Season 0; one of the reviewers hated it, the other thought it was okay

This is from a site called SciFi.com, who reviewed the Season 0 Movie; it got a pretty bad score (though I don't get why they review things in this site with an american test-style system?? When you get an 50 you get an F)

There's also this comment. It is about the card game instead of the anime, but I found it funny

In case anyone wants to look up some other sites like these, here are some lists with links to help you get started (note that some have NSFW content)!

Blasts From the Past

I just slapped up a new page on my blog containing links to some of TXF sites from way, way back in the day, when Philes were rocking the webs like no one else could. It’s nice to be able to look back and see where many of us started and compare it to where we are now, almost 30 years later.

Check it out: Blasts From the Past

Hey! You! Yeah, you! Lookie dis!

Decal has more discography apparently (source)

The other Decal things that are sold in Japan that have the asterisk are lost ones or obscure ones, but what’s even funnier is that on said albums they’re listed as G.U.S, which is one of their former names.....

Anywho anyhow, does anyone wanna find any info on the Grunge 101% album sold in Japan?

Well, just out of nostalgia I took a look at the old Sonic Central site and it turns out there was a Q&A on that site, so I thought it could be amusing to share it over here! (Regardless if it’s relevant or not)

So apparently according to this Sonic learned the Spindash based on somersaulting.

Also...I just really can’t help but look at the hindsight of the movie question.

Well, I’m still looking through Sonic Central out of nostalgia and something that strikes me as curious is that Fang actually got a profile there, even though he and other Classic character weren’t relevant at the time. Perhaps they probably wanted to fill in blank space but it’s still kinda curious considering that Chaos for example could have filled that spot.

Ok, I might be dumb for this, but I tried to read Homestuck again for nostalgia sake. I'm surprised and dismayed to discover that it's broken!

This is my fault for trying to reread it.
