First Pretty Soldier Sailor Moon cover for Animerica.This is my favorite issue so far because of the 1985-1995 Anime: Then and Now article and the Animessages with messages written by each of the US anime releasing companies. I normally don't scan articles, but these two had so much perspective.I really urge you to read both pieces. They are great snapshots in … [Read more...] about Animerica – Pretty Soldier Sailor Moon Magazine Cover – Ronin Warriors – Devil Hunter Yohko – December 1995

Urusei Yatsura is the cover for November.I think this Record of Lodoss War ad has the first appearance of an anime box set.

Animerica – LaserDisc – Hakkenden – Rei Rei – Pioneer Anime Ads – September 1995
Orge Slayer was on this cover this month.

Animerica – Space Battleship Yamato / Star Blazers – August 1995
Lots of Space Battleship Yamato coverage in this issue. There is an article titled "The Star Blazers You Didn't See." Great article about broadcast edits. Plus, I never knew there was an OVA series Yamato 2520.Last issue, Planet Anime had the first ad to display an email address. This issue, Manga Video is the first ad to include a website.
