Hello Everyone! I Hope All Of You Are Doing Well Today! I Finally Finished My 313th MUGEN Stage For The MUGEN Engine! Today Is The Last Day Of April And It's A Beautiful Day Outside! Since The Spring Season Is in Full Effect I Decided To Make Another City Themed MUGEN Stage For All You Awesome MUGEN Fans! Since It's A Nice Day Today, It Gave Me Inspiration To Add More Into My "Nice Afternoon In The City" Stage Series! Imagine A Plot Scenario That Your MUGEN Fighters Are Taking A Walk Somewhere And While Gazing At The View Of The City! Whether If Your MUGEN Fighter Is New To The City Or A Local, This Can Be A Great Plot Scenario For An Encounter With A Friend, Foe, Or Whoever Will Cross Paths With Your MUGEN Fighter! The City Life Is Fast And Vibrant! Beautiful And Sensational! Exciting And Dangerous! Cool And Bad! But You Know What, Yo... It's Still A Nice Afternoon In The City! Have Fun In The City MUGEN Fighters! (o^.^)-b I Made This A Normal Stage And I Messed With The Bounds And Tensions To Make Sure Your Fighters Are Adjusting Properly On The Stage! I Really Love How This Stage Turned Out! I'm Going To Call This Stage "Nice Afternoon In The City V". Welp... Tomorrow Is Officially The Month Of May! I Still Have Some More MUGEN Stage Experiments In The Works And Hopefully I Can Finish All Of Them In The Month Of May!

ʕु-̫͡-ʔु”-- Hey, How's It Goin! Welcome to the CoolAnimeHustler Blogspot! I'm the CoolAnimeHustler and Today I Provide You With One Of My Cool Stages That I Created For The Mugen Engine! Hello Everyone! I Hope All Of You Are Doing Well Today! I Finally Finished My 312th MUGEN Stage For The MUGEN Engine! You Know What Peeps... I Saw The Moon Two Days Ago On The Night Of April 23rd, 2024! Apparently The Moon Seemed Really Visible, Beautiful, And Truly Sensational! The News At The Time Was Calling It The "Pink Moon". Although The Moon Wasn't Pink... It Was Really Bright And Just Stunning! Seeing The Beautiful Moon Shine So Bright With Valor For The World To See, Gave Me An Idea To Create Another Space Themed MUGEN Stage For All You Awesome MUGEN Fans! I Wanted To Make Another Fighting Tournament Because There's Never Enough Tournaments, Youknowwhatimsayin!? I Imagined That A Random Planet In Space, Was Hailing A Fighting Tournament For Fighters All Across The Galaxy! Warriors From Known And Unknown Planets Travel Far To This Tournament To Participate In Strength And Skill! Anyone Brave Enough Can Participate But What Lies Ahead For The MUGEN Fighters Is Yet To Be Seen! The MUGEN Fighters Will Be Fighting On Top Of Fluffy Clouds While Excited Inhabitants Of The Planet Watch With Wonder And Joy! Who Will Win? Who Will Lose? Who Will Be The Ultimate Fighter In The Galaxy? Will It Be Your MUGEN Fighter? We'll Wait And See What Will Unfold In The Space Tournament! Let's See if The Fighter's Training Paid Off! Because... I Love Seeing A Great Plot Unfold! Enjoy! LOL! (o^.^)-b I Made This A Normal Stage And I Messed With The Bounds And Tensions To Make Sure Your Fighters Are Adjusting Properly On The Stage! I Really Love How This Stage Turned Out! I'm Going To Call This Stage "Space Tournament". You Know What... I Also Found Inspiration For Creating This MUGEN Stage Watching Old School Anime OVAs From The 1980's! I Also Wanted To Give That 80's Like Vibe With Bright Colors And Stars From Space! Watching Anime From The 1980's Hits Different When You Realized What Technology They Were Working With At The Time! It's Truly An Inspiration For Me To Continue Learning About Video Games And Creating More MUGEN Content For All Of You Awesome MUGEN Fans! Watch Anime, Watch The Moon, And... Uhhh... Watch Some Sailor Moon Or Something! LOL! Have A Nice Day, Yo! (¯) Enjoy Another Space Themed Stage For Your Fighters!

Hello Everyone! I Hope All Of You Are Doing Well Today! I Finally Finished My 311th MUGEN Stage For The MUGEN Engine! Today We're Heading Back Out To The Great Outdoors Once Again For More Preparation And Training For Upcoming Fighting Tournaments! Your MUGEN Fighters Are Going Back Up Into The Mountains And Train The Mind, Body, And Soul To Find That Hidden Power Within Themselves! With A Sky That Seems To Always Showcase The Evening Throughout The Day, Your MUGEN Fighters Will Have To Train And Wire Their Brain To Not Relax For One Moment! Who Awaits For A Challenge On The Mountaintop Is Unknown But If Not Careful It Could Mean Lights Out On Mt. Sunset! Heh... I Was Inspired To Create Another Mountain Stage After My "CAH's Anime VHS" Showcase Of Ranma 1/2 - The Breaking Point! I've Made My MUGEN Stage Called Mt. Terror Years Ago And Now I Wanted To Make A New Area Called "Mt. Sunset"! Ohhhh The Plot And Drama That Can Go Into One's Imagination! Alright MUGEN Fighter Prepare Yourselves For The Training Will Be Rough On This Side Of The Mountain! LOL! (o^.^)-b (Climbs Mountain Like A Madman). I Made This A Normal Stage And I Messed With The Bounds And Tensions To Make Sure Your Fighters Are Adjusting Properly On The Stage! I Really Love How This Stage Turned Out! I'm Going To Call This Stage "Training On Mt. Sunset". Man... I Was Listening To A Tupac Lofi Mix And It Got Me Feeling Really Chilled Out. I Was Able To Focus And Just Let My Mind Wonder... Lost In Space And Time... To Create... To Produce... And To Have Fun. Listening To Music That Gets You Moving Is One Of Life's Precious Joys! Listen To Anything That'll Get You Moving And You'll Notice A Difference In Your Mood! Keep Being Awesome And Have a Nice Day! (¯) Enjoy Another Outdoor Themed Stage For Your Fighters!

Hello Everyone! I Hope All Of You Are Doing Well Today! I Finally Finished My 310th MUGEN Stage For The MUGEN Engine! Today I Wanted To Make Another City Themed Stage For All Of You Awesome MUGEN Fans! I Was Doing Some MUGEN Stage Experiments In My Free Time And I Came Up With An Idea For An Interesting Plotline! When I Was Creating My "Desert Of The Lost Arts" MUGEN Stages, I Was Really Thirsty For Some Water! When I Finished Creating The MUGEN Stage, I Grabbed A Bottle Of Water And Started To Quench My Thirst! I Kid You Not... When I Finished My Water... I Instantly Thought Of A Stage Where Water Is Maintained And Kept Sealed Away! I Was Thinking Of A Water Plant Of Some Sort But Then I Came To Realize... It's Something Much More! I Thought Of Water That Was Secretly Being Kept Away From The Public! Water So Pure That It Must Be Kept Away As A Backup Plan When Water Is No Longer Available! Sounds Like Some Sort Of Operation Going On... Hmmmm... Yep! I'm Going To Add To My "Operations" Stage Series! I've Created the "Oil Operations" MUGEN Stage Back In 2020 And It Was Received Quite Well! Now... We Are Shifting To Water Operations! Two MUGEN Fighters Will Battle It Out To Either Hide This Secret Water From The Masses, Keep The Water For Themselves, Or Help Release This Useful Water Supply For The Public! Either Way... It's A Battle For Water And The Body Needs Water In Order To Survive! Best Of Luck To The MUGEN Fighters That Battle For What's Right And What's Wrong! LOL! Enjoy! (o^.^)-b I Made This A Normal Stage And I Messed With The Bounds And Tensions To Make Sure Your Fighters Are Adjusting Properly On The Stage! I Really Love How This Stage Turned Out! I'm Going To Call This Stage "Water Operations". Alright! I'm Up To 310 MUGEN Stages Now! It's Been A Journey But I Still Have Some Ideas And An Imagination That Knows No Bounds!

Today I Was Able To Complete A MUGEN Stage Concept That I Abandoned Three Years Ago! I Had A Lot Going On In Real Life Back In 2021 During The Spring Season And It Was Pretty Tough! I Tried To Finish Any MUGEN Stages That I Could At The Time But Scrapped Some Projects Because I Was Working And Hustling... A Lot! But After All That Time, I Went Back to My Scrapped Projects And Was Able To Finish It! It's Perfect Timing Too Because It's Another City Themed Environment And It's In Spring! I Wanted To Create A Plot Scenario In Which MUGEN Fighters Go On A Random Spring Vacation Because... Reasons! LOL! It's A Chance To Plan A Fun Vacation Of Fun And Relaxation! Your MUGEN Fighters Will Be Able To Have A Great View Of A Cruise Ship In The Lounge And Have Some Of The Finest Drinks Around! Or You Know... They Could Fight And Cause A Ruckus And Stuff! It's The Season Of Spring And It's Time To Tackle Some Goals And Spring Into Action... Literally! Have Fun MUGEN Fighters! Have Fun!

Today I Wanted To Create Another Outdoor Desert Themed stage For All Of You Awesome MUGEN Fans! Seeing That My "Valley Of The Lost Arts" MUGEN Stage Was Really Popular Back In 2022, I Wanted To Create A Desert In The Middle Of Nowhere! Since It's Getting A Lot Warmer Nowadays, My Mind Wonders Of Fighters That Train Their Mind, Bodies, And Souls In The Deep Vastness Of The Desert! I Wanted to Put A Dojo In The Middle Of Nowhere That Has Some Of The Most Ruthless And Dangerous Fighters Around! These Are The Fighters That Society Has Forgotten About! These Are The Fighters Who Have Developed Fighting Techniques And Skills That Have Been Crafted In One's Minds And Are Mastered! These Are Fighting Techniques That Are Lost Through Time But They Will Finally Be Reveled On The Battlefield! This Is... The Desert Of The Lost Arts! Any MUGEN Fighter Brave Enough To Venture Out In These Parts Will Have To Endure The Harshness Of The Desert Heat, The Unknown Enemies Or Allies They Will Meet Along The Way, And To Find That Winning Edge That Will Take Their Fighting Game To All New Levels! Good Luck Fighters... You're Going To Need It... I Love A Good Plot Scenario! LOL!

Seems Like Water Is Drying Up, Ice Caps Are Melting, And It Just Seems... Hot! I Think I'm Going To Stock Up On Water Because I Think Another Heatwave Is Upon Us! Well...

ʕु-̫͡-ʔु”-- CoolAnimeHustler's Anime VHS (Ranma 1/2 - The Breaking Point)

ʕु-̫͡-ʔु”-- Hey, How's It Goin! Welcome To The CoolAnimeHustler Blogspot! I'm The CoolAnimeHustler And Today I Want To Talk About My Hobby And Love Of Watching And Collecting Anime VHS Tapes! A-Yo Peeps! I Want To Thank You For Coming To This Little Blog In The Vast World Of The Internet! I, CoolAnimeHustler, aka 'CAH', Has Been Around This Blog Here For Quite Sometime... You Know... Just Chillin, Youknowhatimsayin!? Today Tho, I'm Trying Something New On My Blog! For The First Time Ever On My Blog, I Will Discuss, Showcase, Tell Jokes (Pfft), And Provide Stories About My Love And Collecting Of Anime Physical Media! You Know Like... A Fun Journal Of Sorts! To Be Honest With Ya... I'm An Old School Anime Loving Otaku! LOL! The Anime Physical Media That I Will Be Discussing Is On VHS (aka Video Home System) And That Title Is...

Ranma 1/2 Anything Goes Martial Arts - The Breaking Point (1990)

This VHS Tape Right Here... Introduced Me To The World Of Anime And Manga

Ranma 1/2 Is A Japanese Action/Comedy Series That Was Written And Illustrated By Rumiko Takahasi. The Story Revolves Around A Teenager Named Ranma Saotome Who Has Trained In Martial Arts With His Father Genma Saotome Since Childhood. Ranma's Life Changes During A Training Journey Accident With His Father In Jusenkyo In Which They Both Accidentally Fell Into The Cursed Springs Of Drowned People And Animals. Ranma Is Cursed to Be A Girl When Splashed With Cold Water And Changes Back Into A Boy When Splashed With Hot Water! Too Add More Drama For Ranma, His Father Genma Meets And Agrees With His Best Friend Soun Tendo For A Forced Engagement Between Ranma Saotome And Akane Tendo! Ranma And Akane Do Not Like This Forced Arrangement But Nevertheless The Story Begins! Throughout The Series, Ranma Seeks Out A Way To Rid Himself Of His Curse, While Fighting To Prove He's The Best Martial Artist And Somewhat Improve His Relationship With Akane Tendo. He Meets Many Friends, Rivals, Enemies, And Many Fiancées That Constantly Hinder and Interfere With His Goals Of Being Top Martial Artist And His Relationship With Akane Tendo. Rumiko Takahasi's  Manga Series Was Serialized In Weekly Shonen Sunday Magazine From August 1987 To March 1996 And Produced A Total Of 38 Manga Volumes By Shogakukan! Eventually, An Anime Was Then Created For Takahashi's Hit Manga And Was Produced By Studio Deen In 1989! The Ranma 1/2 Anime Series Ran In Japan From 1989 To 1992 And Became A Huge Hit In Japan And America As Well! The American Company Known As Viz Media, Was Able To License The Ranma 1/2 Anime Series In 1993 And It Was One Of The First Anime titles That Viz Media Licensed! Ranma 1/2 Made A Huge Impact In The Anime Genre For It's Slapstick Comedy And This Show Certainly Had An Impact In My Life!


Ranma 1/2 Is A Fun Series To Watch And Have A Good Laugh! (o^.^)-b 

This Ranma 1/2 Anime VHS Tape That I Presented Above Is Very Dear And Special To Me! Why Is It So Special And Dear To CAH's Heart? Well... This Was The Very First Japanese Anime I Ever Watched When I Was A Kid Back In The 90's, G! Not Only That, But This Anime VHS Tape Is The Same Exact Tape That I Rented From A Video Store Called Hastings Back In The Day! I Was Later Blessed To Buy The Same VHS Tape Four Years After When Hastings Was Getting Rid Of Some Their VHS Tapes To Make Room For New Inventory! I Remember Paying In All Spare Change That I Found On The Street But It Felt Great That I Could Finally Buy The VHS Tape That Introduced Me To Anime! I Think I Was Like Nine Years Old At The Time When I First Rented And Watched This! I Remember My Mom And I Used To Take Walks To The Hastings Video Store On Weekends Talking About Life, Telling Jokes, And Renting Tapes For $0.49. Growing Up In A Single Parent Household We Didn't Have Much But We Had Each Other And Made The Most Of It, You Know! We Worked As A Team To Save Up For Things! The New Goal Was To Buy A New TV And A New VCR. Our Previous TV Was Made In The 80s And It Fizzled Out And Died. The Previous VCR We Had Would Eat VHS Tapes You Put Into It And Overheated All The Time! We Decided At The Time That We Would Save Up For A New TV And A New VCR! My Mom Would Work Her Job On The Weekdays And Occasionally On The Weekends And I Would Try My Best To Find Any Pennies, Nickels, Dimes, And Quarters I Could Find On The Street To Contribute Towards The Goal! I May Have Been Nine Years Old At The Time But I Knew Where To Look And Find Money On The Ground! When I Searched For Those Coins On The Ground Whether It Be On Streets, Sidewalks, School, And Stores... It Always Felt Like a Treasure Hunt To Me! To See The Happy Look On My Mom's Face When I Brought Back Those Coins... Those Were Some Great Memories I'll Always Cherish!  I Remember That Fateful Day When We Saved Up The Money Goal Towards Buying That Bulky TV And That VCR! It Was A Very Happy Day Because We Could Now Watch TV And Movies With No Problems!

 

The TV Was Amazing

And The VCR Was Spectacular

With This Newfound Equipment, We Would Rent A Movie That We Would Watch Together And Rent One Personal Movie We Would Watch Alone For Ourselves. I Remember It Was On A Saturday! The Video/Music Store Known As Hastings Was Jammed Packed With People! My Mom Went InTo The Music Department And I Went To The Movie Department! To Be Honest With Ya... I Wanted To Rent An American Cartoon Called Heathcliff But It Was Already Rented Out! Being Nine Years Old At The Time I Wanted To Watch A Cartoon That Was Action Packed! I Then Saw It... At The Very End Of The Aisle Of The Cartoon Section.. Rumiko Takahashi 's Ranma 1/2 Anything Goes Martial Arts - The Breaking Point Attack VHS Tape! The Artwork On The Box Looked Different Somehow... It Didn't Look Like Your Typical Standard American Cartoon... The Image Of A Guy Looking Tough Holding A Backpack While Little Black Pigs Swarmed Around Him... It Looked Weird But... It Looked So Cool And Unique, Youknowwhatimsayin!? I Grabbed The VHS Tape And Checked The Back Of It! There Were No Images But Only Text Explaining The Two Episodes That Were On The Tape. My Curosity Got The Best Of Me And I Decided That I'm Going To Watch This Cartoon! LOL! Thinking Back On It, I Remember Showing My Mom This Tape That I Was Going To Rent At The Checkout Line. My Mom Looked At This And Said "This Man Looks A Little Pissed Off. Why Does It Say The Breaking Point? Is He Mad At Those Pigs?" Because You Know... Parents Just Watching Out For Kids, You Know. I Was Confused Myself Because I Didin't Know Either But I Said... " I Think This Man Might Be A Martial Artist Like Bruce Lee Or Jim Kelly. I Think His Martial Art Comes From A Pig And It Might Resemble Power. Like Enter The Dragon Or Somethin." I'm Telling You I Just Didn't Know! LOL! My Mom Looked At the Tape Again And Said..." Aight. That's Pretty Cool!" My Mom Gave It To The Cashier And Rung It Up! That's Why I Love You Mom! You Was Always Pretty Chill And That's Why You'll Always Be The Best! Little Did I Know That This Ranma 1/2 VHS Tape Would Change My Life Forever! I Remember Getting Home And My Mom And Said I Can Watch My Personal Movie First. I Was So Excited Because I Wonder What This Ranma 1/2 Tape Was All About! I Pulled The VHS Tape From The Sleeve And Inserted Into The New VCR... Then... I Was Blown Away! It Was About Martial Arts But It Was Funny And Had A Lot Action At the Same Time! The Fighting Was Really Detailed And It Was The First Time Hearing Japanese While Reading English Subtitles On The Screen! It Was Kind Of Like Reading A Comic Book But It Moved! The Animation Style, The Plot, The Characters, The Detailed Fighting... It Was So Cool And So Amazing! The Story Of An Martial Artist That Fell In A Chinese Cursed Spring And Changed Into A Girl When Splashed With Cold Water Was So Hilarious To Me! This Wasn't Your Cheesy Normal Cartoon From America! Oh No! This Was Cartoons That Came from Japan! I Was Hooked! It Was So Intriguing To Me That I Wanted To Watch More Of This Show And Others Like It! Each Ranma 1/2 VHS Tape Had Two Episodes Each And As Long As I Could Find More Spare Change On The Street... The More I Could Rent More $0.49 Ranma 1/2 VHS Tapes! After Watching So Much Ranma 1/2 I Definitely Fell In Love With The Ranma 1/2 Anime Series And The Whole Anime Genre As A Whole! There Was A Lot Of Video Stores Like Blockbuster, Hollywood Video, Hastings, Sam Goody, Suncoast, Family Video, Camelot Music, FYE, And Many Others Including Mom And Pop Stores! Each Store Had Their Own Different Anime VHS Tapes To Rent And Buy From! If I Never Rented This Ranma 1/2 Tape, I Wouldn't Have Explored The Exciting World Of Japanese Animation! Thank You Mom, Thank You God And Thank You Rumiko Takahashi! You're The Best! (o^.^)-b



Yep... This Is What A VHS Tape Looks Like! Behold It's Retro Glory, Yo!

Only Problem Is That VHS Tapes Are An Endangered Product And Movie Companies Stopped Putting Media On Them Back In The Mid 2000s. Even Some Of Those Movie Chains Would Throw These VHS Tapes Away To Make Way For The DVDs That Was On The Rise At The Time! The VHS Tapes Also Had Their Flaws As Well! If Not Kept In A Proper Climate Setting, The Black Film Which Is The Life Blood Of The VHS Can Start to Mold, Deteriorate, Break Off, And Many Other Factors That Could Prevent You From Watching This Tape Forever! What's Also Sad About The VHS Genre As A Whole Is That There's A Lot Of Shows And Movies That Only Had A VHS Release And Never Got a DVD Release! There's Probably Thousands Upon Thousands Of Titles Lost Through Time Because Of How Fragile The VHS Tape Is! So I, Ya Boi, The CoolAnimeHustler, Has Been Finding And Searching For Lost And Rare Anime For A Very Long Time! I Decided To Go Down The Path Of The Otaku! My Adventures Of Finding, Watching, And Collecting Anime Titles That Are Known And Not Known Gives Me Great Pleasure! You Never Know... Maybe I Can Help Somebody Out There Learn And Discover Some New Things About Anime Or An Artist That Might Interest Them! Why? Because Anime Is In My Middle Name, Youknowwhatimsayin!?

A-Yo! Lets Take A Trip And Slide Into The Anime Side Of The Game, Youknowwhatimsayin!? (Memes Included)

Ranma 1/2 Anything Goes Martial Arts Is Actually The 2nd Season Of The Ranma 1/2 Series! When I Watched This For The First Time As A Kid I Didn't Know What Episode This Was! I Just Dove Right Into It Blindly! I Learned Later That The Two Episodes On The VHS Tape Are Episode 10 And 11 Of Season 2! Episode 10 Aired On January 10th 1990 And Episode 11 Aired On January 19th 1990! To Be Honest With Ya, I Thought The Character Surrounded By The Black Pigs On The VHS Box Was The Main Character! Oh Boy... Was I Totally Wrong! Fortunately For The Viewer That Watches This Show For The First Time, The Show Gives A Brief Introduction Of The Two Main Characters Ranma And Akane And What The Plot Is All About! That's Really Refreshing To Know What's Going On o That's A Major Plus And All That! But You Know What... That Opening Intro To The Anime And Opening Song Called Little  Date By A Group Called Ribbon Does Get You Hyped To Watch This Anime! Ever Since I Heard That Song, It Sometimes Pop In My Head When I Make Video Game Stages For All Of You Awesome MUGEN Fans Out There! It's A Fun Little Song To Hum And It's Like Happy Feel Good Music, You Know. if You Didn't Know, The Music Trio Group, Known As Ribbon, Was A Japanese Pop Group That Consisted Of Members Hiromi Nagasaku, Arimi Matsuno, And Aiko Satoh! Ribbon Jumped On The Music Scene In 1989 And Guess What Their 1st Single Was...Little  Date! That's Pretty Cool If Your First Music Single Went On An Iconic Anime! I'll Call That A Win!

The Opening Song Called LittleDate By Ribbon Is A Lowkey Banger!

Stevie Wonder's Hit Song "Skeletons" Comes To Mind When Seeing This Intro!

Episode 10: Ranma Trains On Mt. Terror

Episode 11: The Breaking Point!? Ryoga's Great Revenge

Sometimes To Write Your Thoughts, One Must Doodle To Explain The Thoughts!

Never Caught Lackin Ryoga Hibiki! Actually Body Slammed A Wild Boar! Whoa!

No Sense Of Direction Ryoga Hibiki! Being Lost For A Week For A Challenge You Sent Is A Whole New Type Of Art In Itself! Wow! LOL!

Hey it's Shampoo! Her Hair Game Is On Fleek!

Can't Be Touched, Can't Be Stopped, Can't Be Moved, Can't Be Rocked!

Life Will Have Many Ls And Many Ws But It's Important Because It Will Make You Stronger As You Keep Moving Forward! Some True Poetic Type Stuff, Yo! (¯)
 
Looking Back At It, This Ranma 1/2 VHS Tape Changed My Life And Helped Me Become The Anime Fan I Am Today (For Better Or For Worse! LOL!) It Helped Me Learn Some Things About Japanese Culture, Made Me Dive Deeper Into Discovering Old And New Artist That Made Stories For The Genre And Made Me Appreciate An Art Form That Was Unique From Another Country! Growing Up Back In The Day, If You Watched Anime And Read Manga, You Were Considered Weird And Labeled An Outcast. Looking Back At It Now... It Made Me A Stronger Person Because It Gave Me The Courage To Try New Things! If I Didn't Watch Anime, I Wouldn't Have Created This Blog! If I Didn't Watch Anime, I Wouldn't Have Discovered The Fighting Game Engine Known As MUGEN And Eventually Make Fighting Game Stages For It! If I Didn't Watch Anime... Your Boi, CoolAnimeHustler, Wouldn't Exist At All! Watching Anime Even Taught Me About Fighting Through Adversity Despite Your Background And The Stories It Told Gave Me An Vivid Imagination! On Some Deep Personal Level Type Stuff, Yo... After Watching My Moms Pass Away Two Years Ago... Watching Anime Makes Me Think About The Good Times With My Mom Because We Would Watch A Lot Of Movies Together! We Loved Watching Comedy Movies And We Love To Tell Jokes No Matter How Corny It Was! Laughter Is The Best Medicine After All And It Really Got Us Through Some Really Tough Times! I Believe That's Why I Loved Watching Ranma 1/2 So Much Because No Matter How Goofy It Was... It Made Us Laugh! Watching Anime Even Gave Me The Will To Collect Physical Media And Find Lost Titles Because There's Many Anime And Manga Stories Out There That's Yet To Be Discovered! The CoolAnimeHustler (aka "CAH"), Will Continue His Quest To Showcase Anime, Create MUGEN Stages, And Provide More Of That Hot And Ready Madd Flava Of Memes, Yo! I Wanted To Try Something New On This Blog And It's Fitting That It's April Fools Day! I Hope You Enjoyed My First Post Of CAH's Anime VHS! Stay Tuned For More! *Peace* (¯)
