Happy New Year! 1995! So long 1994!Macross Plus is on the cover and the previous Macross II is no longer in story canon.Two different things for Animerica in this issue - new paper stock -matte paper (non-gloss) and lots more ads.

Animerica – Moldiver, Genocyber, Homeroom Affairs – F3 – October 1994
I don't remember Moldiver. Is it worth a watch?The award for "PLEASE! Don't BUY Me!" goes to US Manga Corps' Genocyber. WTF?!?!I like the retail ads in this issue. HAMS in Westfield, IN has a ad selling anime 20% off. That's quite the statement given that most mail order and retailers back then sold at full SRP (Suggested Retail Price)The Tokyo Television Report … [Read more...] about Animerica – Moldiver, Genocyber, Homeroom Affairs – F3 – October 1994
Animerica – Project A-Ko – Planet Anime – Mail Order – September 1994
Here's a crutch you have to deal with if the Japanese licensor only provides very few promotional images/covers for the international release. This doesn't happen as often now, but it still exists.Here's what I'm getting at. Look at the cover and look at the back cover ad for the A-Ko Screensaver, the table of contents image and the first page of the cover story feature. … [Read more...] about Animerica – Project A-Ko – Planet Anime – Mail Order – September 1994
Animerica – Akira – Anime Soundtracks – Japanimation – August 1994
This issue is all about anime soundtracks - (not to mention having Akira on the cover to get additional sales.) For awhile, I was heavily into soundtracks - Hellsing TV and Noir were in CDs that were in my car constantly back then. Now, I fast-forward the opening and endings to get the show. I try to make use of the time I have allotted to watch anime. Sure I love music, but … [Read more...] about Animerica – Akira – Anime Soundtracks – Japanimation – August 1994
Animerica – Ranma 1/2 Subtitled and English Dub VHS Prices – Dr Comics and Mr Games – July 1994
Does double the Ranma 1/2 equal Ranma? I'm not too terribly good with math. Lots of repeat ads in this issue so few to discuss about.Speaking of Ranma 1/2, VIZ is now releasing the series in Subtitled format on VHS. Notice that the English Subtitled VHS has 3 episodes for 34.98 and the English Dub is 2 episodes for 29.98. Why are they only placing 2 episodes per release for … [Read more...] about Animerica – Ranma 1/2 Subtitled and English Dub VHS Prices – Dr Comics and Mr Games – July 1994
