Animerica – Armored Trooper Votoms – Ani-Mayhem Anime Card Game – September 1996

July 2, 2012 by Lance Heiskell Leave a Comment

Armored Trooper Votoms is the cover, feature and VHS ad of record for this issue. I watched this series in 2001 via Netflix because it was one of the only full complete titles to rent on the service (Gundam Wing was second)

I wanted to highlight Ani-Mayhem again by scanning an article introducing the card game. Magic, the Gathering was released in 1992 and I guess this was Pioneer trying to cash-in on the collectible card game audience. The first set of cards totaled 305 cards from shows ranging from Bubblegum Crisis, Ranma 1/2, Tenchi Muyo to El-Hazard. The article states the game was created by AnimeCafe and lists the team who put the game together.

The Pioneer ad states the 75 card Ani-Mayhem starter deck cost $8.98 and 9 card booster packs priced at $1.98.

This month’s anime fan art brings you kisses and daydreams…

The ADV Films ad has editions of Burn-UpW, Super Atragon and Galaxy Fraulein Yuna

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.
