Hi, all,

We're cleaning out our media shelves.  We have a bunch of videotapes from Ye Olden Days of Fansubs. We can't donate or sell them, because they're fansubs. And yet, I am loathe to chuck them, because some of them aren't necessarily available commercially here, or someone might enjoy seeing the fansub even if the show is commercially available.

Here are four lots of tapes. If you want one or more lots, tell me. Email me your snail mail (send to tohubohu AT mindspring DOT com) and in a week or three, your requested lots will show up in your mailbox (or at a place of your devising if you're local to central Massachusetts or Boston). If you'd like to contribute toward shipping, that'd be spiffy and help us out. They become yours, to watch, pass on, or throw away at your whim. Some of them are obscure and odd, some are things you might not necessarily want to pay to try out, but you're morbidly curious anyway. Reminder: these are VHS tapes, they are (mostly) fansubs, which means not fabulously high quality (we threw out the worst, though) and always subtitled.

Lot 1: Miyazaki
Future Boy Conan Volume 1
I Can Hear the Sea
Mononoke Hime (Princess Mononoke)
Laputa (Castle in the Sky)

Lot 2: Questionable Gender
Yami no Matsuei Volume 1 (Descendants of Darkness)
Kamikaze Kaitou Jeanne Volume 1
Legend of Basara Volume 1
Swordsman 1, 2, and 3 (these are not fansub; they are home dubs of Hong Kong Cinema movies we have since managed to locate on DVD, but they're hard to find and fabulous)

Lot 3: Coming of Age/Romance
Hana Yori Dango Volume 1 (Boys Over Flowers)
The Glass Mask Volume 1
The Glass Mask OAV
Blue-Green Years Volume 1

Lot 4: Silly/Nostalgic Childhood/Other
