Animerica – Silent Mobius – Kia Asamiya – Guyver – Orguss – June 1993

February 26, 2012 by Lance Heiskell Leave a Comment

Bit of an interesting choice of a swimsuit cover for Silent Mobius. The features covers Kia Asamiya manga work.

This early in the release of Anime on VHS, the hurdle of explaining that anime is for adults not a cartoon for children, has just started.

US Renditions ad for The Guyver and Super Dimensional Century Orguss have the cautionary “Videos are not rated and all contains profanity & violence. Orgus: Slight Nudity, Parental Guidance Suggested.

This ad also wins an award for “Best Contrast For Text Box” -dark green background on black text with white shadow. Click on any of these ads for an 800 pixel width version to see a larger size if you need to.

AnimEigo has as their warning text box:”Your First Teacher’s Warning: If I’d known you were going to watch subtitled Anime, I’d never have taught you to read in the first place!”

I also like fun rating “S” – Subtitled for the Japanese language impaired

Central Park Media had this for Grave of Fireflies: Animated drama, Unrated, Suitable for most audiences. I thing they should have added “bring some tissues on this one, trust us.”

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.
