Enjoy the trip down memory lane

I’m nostalgic and I keep stuff. I’ve decided to that it would be cool to showcase some of the history of North American Anime fandom. Here I’ll post covers and ads from magazines, badges and program guides from anime cons and marketing pieces from almost every US company.

I feel that for every fandom, people need to reflect and get a better understanding of what everything used to be. How the past and present lie in parallel with each other and how they differ.

I will do magazine posts chronologically. I have much more that magazines to post but that’s my focus for now.

Practice Makes Awesome

A Few Tips Upon Reading

First off, find a secluded area and pour yourself a beverage of choice. You must cleanse the palate to take in the delicacies of the nostalgia I'm about to throw down.

Second, if it’s cold where you live, grab a blanket, maybe two. If at all possible, sit down while reading. I hate standing, never stood for it, never will.

Finally, see if you can find the encrypted message left in the third magazine post.
