If I remember correctly, there's a good chance that the tapes will have JBVO on it, but I don't think they'll have the DBZ thing. If I recall correctly, I had to be at bed 15 minutes before 8 PM because my mom would only be able to stay awake until 8:30 PM to make sure I was sleeping. The only factor that could change this would be if my mom doesn't have the tapes. We'll see since I'm going there for dinner tonight. Wish me luck guys.
I remember I made my mom record CN when I would have to go to bed back in '99 and '00. I'm going to my mom's today to check if she has the old tapes and check out what they have on them.
DUDE, NICE! If you still have the recordings, I'd love to know what's on them. I'd especially love some early - mid 1999 stuff.
Same! I wasn't born untill August of 99 so I'd love to see what's on there!

there was an episode very late in JBVO's run where somebody requested the pilot episode of Aqua Teen Hunger Force Rabbot. the viewer who requested this saw the pilot and thought it was funny and wanted to see it again johnny had no idea what he was talking about, and adult swim wasn't yet a thing at the time he then went on to confusedly play the episode with weird effects added to it, like a horn-type sound effect when somebody said something like "freaking" or some other euphanism
if anyone has any info plese post it
No offense. I'd help you but I can't read things without punctuation. Sorry ;-;

Here's something that's bugged me and the other staff members for a while. I've been mentally tossing around the idea of creating a video with many different tips and guidelines on writing and editing pages for the site, but since such a video would be a long way off (if it ever did happen), I'll say it here first.
Let's pretend every episode of Doraemon '73 was suddenly uploaded to YouTube (unrealistic, I know, just bear with me). The LMW page still lists it as lost though, so a user hastily updates it by jamming "EDIT: On 5/5/17, all of the episodes were found and uploaded by YouTube user DoraeMan3048" onto the end of the page.
But wait. This is NOT at ALL how you should do it.
Why? Well first of all, it's not necessary or professional to state that it's an edit. When's the last time you saw a Wikipedia page do that? I think people who do this have missed the point entirely of what a wiki is. The whole idea is that pages are updated and changed all the time. Just because it's a drastic change doesn't make that any different. And second of all, everything that came before it still says that the media is lost. Why would you leave it like that? This isn't a blog or a news site, we don't have to keep outdated info to preserve the article's previous state. If it's wrong or outdated, get rid of it. Replace it with the right information. How is it fair to make future users read through 6 paragraphs of things that aren't true and then follow it up with a brief "Whoops, never mind"??
The ultimate thing I want users to take away from this is that an article should FLOW well from the beginning to the end. There shouldn't be any sections that feel out of place. Wiki articles are written by all members of their community, but it should still FEEL like one singular voice. If it's obvious where one author left off and another one picked up, you're doing it wrong.
Think of it like this: if you owned a house and you wanted to expand it, you wouldn't just build another room right against the side wall, or build another floor on top of the roof. It requires subtle structural changes throughout, to make sure the whole thing stands as one unit. And it's the same thing with an article. Go back, read through the whole thing, and make sure everything still makes sense. I'm not asking you guys to write a novel here - sometimes it can be as simple as just changing a couple sentences to past tense. If the opening paragraph says "It has never resurfaced", change it to say "It did not resurface until ____". Things like that. Yeah, it'll take more time than adding "UPDATE" onto the end of it, but honestly, if you can't be bothered to read through the page you're editing, you shouldn't be editing it. Period. Leave it to another user who's actually willing to put in effort.
And yes, if you do some digging you will find articles where official staff members updated pages in the wrong way. But if you do some more digging, you'll notice another thing: all of these articles are very old. Our site standards have changed a lot since the LMW first started in 2012. Those types of edits used to be acceptable, and they're not anymore. I encourage everyone to fix any pages they find that do this. Thanks.
That's huge news, because aside from the fact that it's proof the clip exists, this means that JBVO stuff IS out there- people just need to be checking their VHS tapes for it.
So yeah, all in all a cool and obscure lost media interest that I encourage more people to search for, as it really will be a community effort to find all the episodes on old VHS tapes.
This has been widely discussed on the Discord server, so I thought I might want to share information about it:
The premise of the show is mostly unknown, due to many rumours going around about it, much like Clock Man. The Rimini Riddle is about three orphans, named Rory, Leo, and Ellen, who live with their aunt named "Vera". The Rimini Riddle is about the riddle in the Rimini household. They live in beside a beach and the orphans are not aloud to go swimming. Ellen meets two little girls on the beach. The mystery has something to do with the two girls from Aunt Vera's precious picture, which were said they have drowned. There's also an evil doll owned by one of the main characters.
It is also known to have story and character arcs, something which was rare for a kid's show at the time, and has been called a "Puppet soap opera". Some have apparently compared this to Gravity Falls, which has a similar premise, yet isn't a puppet show.
Two known clips have been found, the first from a Valentines Day special: www.youtube.com/watch?v=aj83EfAuAos, and the second being a clip posted by the puppeteer for a character named Otto the Magic Otter: vimeo.com/134085100
Here is a found clipping from a magazine article about the show:
I'm personally interested in finding this because of how odd it is. I keep hearing new bits about its plot and its really fascinating. The whole concept, the imagery, and everything that's known has been considered "very scary", some likening it to a creepypasta. I know that's also what people said about Clock Man, but we actually have proof that The Rimini Riddle actually existed.
I'm curious as to why you bumped a dead thread that no one responded to, but I'll respond :3 I'm a little confused. So is this series of books translated to Japanese can't be found?
