Pop tarts won the vote and so became the product chiefly associated with supporting the campaign, reasoning that advertisers would put pressure on too for broadcasts to continue.

Save Our Sailors rang a faint bell as something I'd heard about in the past, and found archives of the old sites from 1996.

It was a 'procott' campaign, organising the mass buying of products advertised on broadcasts of Sailor Moon in an effort to get the whole show aired in North America.

Hey Val! <3

Happy Friday!

Heyuna <3 Hope you do too 💜

xD Hey Amy!

Nice! And yeah, one of my faves still too. <3 And yeah, that's something worth remembering, that as much as it sometimes sucked that JRPGs didn't get localized into English then, non-English speakers might be doubly out of luck for getting Euro language localizations.

Armitage III. 🔥

Sending you some wireframe bunny themed greets, peeps. 🥱 Good morning/afternoon, y'all 💜

My oldtaku butt hardly ‘gets’ hololive (I tried to get into it during lockdown but it wouldn’t stick 😅)

But I do like pink gundam so that “Sakura Miko” Nu Gundam is a must build! 🤩

(She says at least aware that hololive branded anything will set her back triple-digits eventually 😭)

A Japanese ad for a Game Boy Pocket with a classy feel as if it's aimed at professionals with a visible keyboard in the photo of two, silver and gold, and a fountain pen and mug.

The Game Boy Light - A tougher console that can be played for longer periods of time thanks to that all-important backlight!

Such a sleek design, and as with a GB Pocket ad I shared a while back, the copy promotes it as one for adults because of the less toy-like design.

The legendary MACROSS returns! Serving as a sequel to Do You Remember Love, SDFM 2036 is a pretty nifty side scrolling shmup that makes good use of the PC Engine CD-ROM2 for animated cutscenes produced with series character designer Haruhiko Mikimoto's involvement.

The cover for the Genesis game Elemental Master, with a 90s looking dude posed like he's casting a spell while another giant hand from a monstrous creature reaches out from behind.

Brad never expected to wake up one day with magic powers. Now he's on a quest to save another world. Unfortunately, all he had to hand for hero clothes was his dad's old Tatooine moisture farmer cosplay top, a satin bedsheet, and some trash bags - and a pair of scissors.
