My Hunt For A Nearly Lost 90s Anime 

Ah, Flash... :p For games, I've always really liked these Mystery/Horror stuff like Detective Grimoire, The Dead Case, Crimson/Viridian Room, etc... :p There's also Fear Less, Memo Huntress, Phoenotopia, and so on. :? Some platformers like Tower of God... Some newer stuff that people might know are also Deep Sleep and Don't Escape. :p As for animation, well... I mainly watched a lot of weird comedies like The Decline of Video Gaming and LegendaryFrog stuff like Ark & Kerrigan, though there was also this awesome series called Xombie. :p And... it's not flash, but there's Knox Klaymation. ^^; Other than that, well... there was an old, weird, but interesting AMV based on Elfen Lied's Lillium of the same name, a flash called Lilium that I think was about some goth girl and some "deal with the devil", some kind of demon and stuff... :p That might count as obscure nowadays but I think it's otherwise one of the top viewed/rated animations on Newgrounds, but yeah. :?

Phew... I thought this comment wasn't going to post, it kept saying it didn't, ugh. >_< Glad it submitted, I spent a long time on that...

one day, their paths are destined to meet

lol kind of funny I tend to archive a lot of japanese flash animation onto the internet archive myself.

I would LOVE to see a video like this but for an obscure lost flash animation I actually have a specific one I've tried to find for years but never could. It unfortunately had the unsearchable title of something like, "Sonic vs Mario". The only distinctive thing about it was that it had story segments for some reason in the Ganbare Goemon world. I don't think I'll ever find it though and I've resigned myself to accept that.

Ahahah I was having deja vu at first!

Gotta like the dedication

@@witch2019 gotta pay respect to good creators!

Hear hear!

what was the site that she used?

when do we get 'hazel: after hours' where she talks about all that stuff

Same here. I love Hazel's channel because almost all of her videos remind me of myself where I find some obscure game/song I grow on quickly but have no one to properly talk to about. And the most important about her videos is that there is so much passion and pain splattered all over them.

Yes holy shit, Way of Life is so good. That and "Time" are my favourite P3P songs

she's like a mythical dragon but instead of gold and jewels, the treasure is old japanese media

@@lizardasslick This has no right to be as accurate as it is.

i am stupid and was not looking at the eensy subtitle clarifying the 販売 point already in the actual video itself please completely disregard this comment

my wife and i may or may not have already been working on a video on this subject on and off for a few months

@@hhhazel Awesome. I know I'll love whatever you make and ill keep an eye out for this one. Thanks for replying 😊

bro thats just like hazel all the time

the definition of hazelcore

I sent this exact type of rant to my friend earlier this year because I found footage of what I *believe* is a Meiko Nakahara tribute band performing in 1984 and I went on an unhinged hunt trying to find any more information. This is just what happens when you Crave Information. ....and this is wonderfully done because it expresses that spirit perfectly. I love it.

@@RabbitEarsCh You're a good friend! its always more enjoyable talking to people who are passionate about their interests than to someone who's always meh about everything

I'd be that friend lmao

Such a small world.

Ultimately, Arisa's OVA title was a total jinx!

Made worse by the fact that disks can be resurfaced.

@@atomicskull6405 oh no buddy, you don't know. Like some of these discs were almost snapped in half, or were missing chunks. Some looked like they'd been run over by a car. I worked for this little company for awhile and we resurfaced plenty of discs. I know when one's beyond hope.

@@KnaveMurdok Fortunately it's just data and the ISO is of course now available, so rest easy. This reminds me of a similar scenario I found myself in, quite a while back. I had bought DVDs of a storm enthusiast series called "Tornado Video Classics". They were fairly miserable transfers of what I assumed to be D2 master tapes. Unfortunately, the DVDR media used was also miserable, as all three discs had issues making it impossible to recover every VOB. So I requested replacement DVDs and, after quite a bit of back and forth, finally got them. They were *also* corrupted in more or less the same way. Fortunately, however, in each disc's case, it was a different VOB that was non-recoverable. So I was able to piece together non-corrupt iterations of all three discs from the available data. As far as I know, I may be the only person on the planet who has the data from those DVDs in a fully intact state.
