I miss the Joshi forum from Smarkschoice, I learned so much from that place. That forum was a huge reason why I got into Joshi in the first place. Sure there were the creepy posts once in a while, but it was overall super informative. I know people make fun of Coey, but he was a big fan of joshi as well, and spider twist was a pretty good resource along with Lorefice. It seems like Lorefice doesn't watch joshi as much as he used to, but still collects everything.
I wonder what has happened to wolverine, pantherwagner, Rob, and FLIK. I know PUNQ is religiously watching every movie ever made.
Looking at that list, it surprises me that Yoshida wasn't in the top 25. Seemed like everyone was a stan of hers.
Once AJW and GAEA closed up shop, Joshi got super niche super quick. I never saw anyone post about Joshi on the regular boards except for the same 90's shit. I kinda have to thank Ronda being such a huge star that the WWE wanted a piece of that action as well, and now the WWE has a real women's division that isn't used for bathroom breaks. Stardom have done a good job of getting more westerners watching and keeping them after Shirai and Hojo have left.
I sort of have 80s yearbooks in the works. I have the footage, it's just extremely time consuming to put that stuff together. I have no idea how Will did so many sets in such a small amount of time. What a workhorse.
