About this Blog (post 76)
Much of my free time
has been spent in the last few months taking photos and scanning
Pen-Pal letters, Fanzines and manga (sometimes stretching from '90 to
'92 or even taking the Chronology further in to the future from the
past) to record what is left of my collection of mainly 80's and 90's
Anime and manga memorabilia, as well as adding to them for
cataloguing. I still hope that by tackling the past on a month by
month basis an over-all picture will emerge from my observations and
recollections, and from the written word.
Blog updates as follows
A small piece of
information regarding Convention Video room listings has come to
light.
More information on
Robotech in the England has been pieced together.
Finding the lost manga
of BAOH
The May of 1990 onwards
was when I was having treatment for Cancer of the tongue, both
Radiotherapy and later surgery and is to this day difficult to write
about, and think about that time of my life.
My continued scanning
of private Anime Pen-Pal letters (many of whom I have lost touch with
over these past 20 to 25 years - writting as of August 2016), to help track how events unfolded in
the infancy of the UK's Anime & Manga Fandom has again taken up
my time in more ways than one. As I am transported back in time
rereading them, I am once again immerse the excitement, hope, and
discovery of like-minded people exploring what Japanese animation had
to offer, making it all so fresh in my mind 26 years later!
Spending snippets of
time when I can, to use the World Wide Web and the Internet to try
and reconnect with old friends, I had not prepared myself for the
possibility of them no longer being alive. This has taken me aback,
and emotional and personal feelings have come forth and slowed my
progress in typing this record of the early days of the Fandom as I
reflect this.
