My $12 yard sale find

Post by Anayo »

Today was a Saturday. Consequently my dad and my sister took stuff to the farmer's market. Basically I got called on the phone to bring something that got left behind, so I got in the car with my brother and went. On the way back, I saw a sign reading YARD SALE in the middle of town so I detoured and my bro and I checked it out.

There were TONS of sci-fi movies at this place. It was like the local star wars/godzilla/ray harryhausen/otaku nerd had died and they were selling off his wares or something.

The tantalizing thing is when I asked, "You guys don't have any more old Sega or Nintendo games, do you?" she answered,
"Sorry, we had a Nintendo and another Sega but someone sorted through and took what they wanted."
I don't like thinking about what I could have missed out on! Was the "other Sega" a Sega Saturn? Did it come with really expensive and rare games? I shouldn't think about it. >.<

I've already seen Terminator and Blade Runner, but I'm wondering if anyone can tell me about the anime I got? Specifically, these don't have any NSFW content, do they? I'm not much of an anime connoseiur, but I'm a little wary when it comes to non-Ghibli or kids' stuff. Also, is Patlabor memorable/worth watching? I just sort of picked this up at random cause it was cheap, so even if it sucks it's no loss on my part.

The Patlabors are basically police mech stuff, should be fine. Roujin Z is a hilarious anime about a machine that takes care of a senior citizen going haywire and attempting to take him to the beach, believing the entire time that its his dead wife. The small amount of nudity is censored, if I remember correctly(the old man is shown naked in one two-second clip).

Wizards is...well, it's Wizards. The other two, I couldn't tell you what they are.

Wow... you got really lucky! I need to pick up a genesis at some point too. Wizards is a Ralph Bakshi movie( guy who made the fritz the cat movie and the lotr animated movie). Wizards is amazing. Its about a post apocalyptic world were people use magic and stuff. There is some big fights between twin brothers, and of course one is evil. The evil guy using Nazi war machines an propaganda. Its done very well. Kind of reminds me of heavy metal minus the metal music.
