I love Maison Ikkoku. I read the manga first. My sister got a couple of manga volumes -the original flipped oversized version-and I read them. After that, I bought the rest of the series. After finishing the last volume, I admit that I had tears reading the last chapters.Since then, I've purchased the entire series on DVD box set when VIZ release the series several years … [Read more...] about Animerica – Maison Ikkoku, Ghost In The Shell Theatrical, HyperDoll – April 1996

Animerica -ADV Acquires Neon Genesis Evengelion, Guyver on VHS, March 19
In this issue, Please Save My Earth is on the cover.What really saved the Earth? Evangelion.Most people found out that ADV acquired Neon Genesis Evangelion while reading this issue. In the article it says that ADV put out a press announcement that states they want the US version to "look better" than the version in Japan (same bravado in every decade.) Then you read in … [Read more...] about Animerica -ADV Acquires Neon Genesis Evengelion, Guyver on VHS, March 19
Animerica – Mamoru Oshii – Ghost on the Shell – Anime Ad Fun – Fan Art – February 1996
Mamoru Oshii's Ghost in the Shell is the cover for the February 1996 Animerica. Wonder how many people got into anime due to this movie.

Animerica – Pretty Soldier Sailor Moon Magazine Cover – Ronin Warriors – Devil Hunter Yohko – December 1995
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
