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.
