Nostalgia
Sunday night I had a bout of insomnia. Since I was awake and Megatokyo updates at 1:00 AM, I decided to take a look at the new comic.
The comic hadn't updated yet -- the artist updates on time about as often as I feel good about myself -- but the editor had a link to a Wikipedia article about a set of characters from the original Mobile Suit Gundam series.
After bouncing around the various Gundam series for a while, I found a link to the article for Starblazers. I learned some new things, like that there was a third series that either didn't air in America or got far less airplay. They said that Cartoon Network refuses to air the series, allegedly beause the people who own the rights want too much money, even though they aired on the web site a few years ago.
Then the article mentioned the full DVD box set. A quick trip to Amazon verified it: There's a six-DVD set of the first series, the Iscandar saga. It's silly, especially considering that the animation isn't quite up to snuff with the current fare, and that the original Space Battleship Yamoto aired three decades ago, but I really want this DVD set.
And of course, I can't afford to buy anything non-essential right now. Damnit.
