Anime VHS Archive Project

Hey y'all, there's an exciting thing happening that you might want to get in on!

Jason Scott of the Internet Archive has acquired 700+ anime VHS tapes, including a whole bunch of fansubs.

He's put out a call for people who want to get involved with the digitization and archival of the tapes. Check out his tweet here for instructions. I get the sense that he's especially looking for folks who know their anime and could highlight the rarest / most unusual stuff in the lot.

Or, you can just follow him on twitter if you want to see some of the outcomes -- he's been doing the first rips tonight and posting some sweet fansub screengrabs and clips.

I'm guessing that these will all get posted up on the Internet Archive when he rips them, though many will get taken down, so keep an eye out if you want to grab some rare VHS fansub rips when they go up!
