I have a decent amount of shows I'm into that almost no one aside from a cult following cares about or likes, such as the Shin-Ei Animation/TV Asahi kids' anime "Doraemon" and "Crayon Shin-chan" and the movie "Thomas and the Magic Railroad". There is one anime that almost no one knows about that I just got into that is also lost media: the Saban English dub of "Future Police Urashiman" ("Rock 'n Cop"). I've binge-watched the German dub since it's based on this mysterious version and I quickly got used to it (the coincidental similarities to the cancelled "Lupin VIII" anime got me hooked too). There's very little info on this dub itself, including where it's recorded at and the voice actors to the point that I kept speculating in my head about who Ryu's English VA is.

I had another nightmare where I am in my new House and i go to the nearest room and found a MOTHERFUCKING GIANT WHITE SPIDER and grabbed me with one of their leg and (possibly?) swings around me. I had that nightmare just because I found a dead spider in a school bathroom.
Oh goodness, I once dreamt that I was about to get ready to go in the shower, but when I went in the bathroom, I saw two giant tarantulas on the shower curtains and I told my mom to catch them! I think I had that dream because of my fear of insects crawling on my body.

I would love to hear Meesha Contreras (a Canadian VA) in an English dub of an anime. It doesn't matter if the anime is for kids or not nor if the dub is made in Canada or not (Canadian actors/VAs in non-Canadian media has been done before). Although, it is unlikely since he hasn't had any new voice acting roles since the reboot that should not be named and he's currently hosting a radio show. Similarity, back when I was into Michael E. Rodgers, I sometimes imagine him voice acting in an English dub of an anime (since he voice acted in an English dub of a Japanese video game before) or an animated cartoon (Heck, I once dreamt of him voice acting in "The Simpsons" of all shows, and I wouldn't be surprised if he actually did in real life since there can be some actors in media you weren't expecting).

"Thomas and the Magic Railroad" made me like Canadian content (since the film is partially Canadian, was filmed in Toronto most of the time, with the US and the Isle of Mann being other filming locations), and it has some Toronto voice actors involved. Also, the inclusion of a rare promotional trailer of TATMR on a Doraemon VHS ended up getting me into that anime.
Yeah. I understand they don’t mean to shame anyone, but it definitely comes off on that way.
Though if that’s how it comes off, how else can we word it to better get the point across?
Oh i'm not trying to shame anyone when I say stuff like that, I just get frustrated seeing stuff like screamers like Big Star Secret get way more attention then IMO far more significant lost media like actual lost films and TV shows. For me some stuff is just really low on the totem pole in terms of stuff I actually want found. So i'm not passing judgement on people that are actually into stuff I couldn't care less about like lost screamers and YTPs, i'm just expressing general annoyance that more people seem to be interested in finding them then stuff that has more significance. Realistically you just can't expect every user to like the same stuff you like and there are going to be a number of people out there who find searches for things like lost commercials to be a waste of time and resources that could be better spent finding more interesting stuff and they're entitled to that opinion.
I'm no fan of internet screamers nor horror either as I don't like getting myself nightmares. Also, I understand how some people can be frustrated when some things they're not into get more attention compared to stuff they're into. I have gone through that too, as I once made a thread here about the footage of the main five voice actors of the Nelvana dub of "Bakuten Shoot Beyblade" on YTV being lost, but nobody was interested and it made me kind of left out, but just recently, a YouTube user uploads some of that footage and it actually made me feel happy.

It also makes me uncomfortable when someone in the community says "I don't get why people are into (insert certain thing here)" because it feels like they're shaming others for liking the thing they're not into or dislike instead of just not getting or understanding the appeal. The only times I'm not uncomfortable with that phrase is when they're referring to people obsessed with NSFL lost media.

I once ordered a Pioneer Beyblade VHS tape that has music videos playing during the previews, but I was disappointed to learn that there was a blank VHS tape inside instead of the real deal. I didn't bother playing it because I was worried that I might come across a horror movie, recorded disturbing footage, or porn, but now that I'm thinking about it, maybe it might be something extremely rare and interesting inside of the blank tape.
