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
Animerica – Patlabor Mobile Police – Animeigo – Bubblegum Crisis Screensaver – June 1994
I am all for a new series of Patlabor Mobile Police. Today's animation tech and the mecha design would be awesome.It still amazes me how much text copy goes into a US Manga Corps ad. Detonator Orgun takes it to new heights.My favorite ad is AnimEigo's ad for the Bubblegum Crisis - The Screen Saver. You got all the Knight Sabers as screen savers with a bonus of music … [Read more...] about Animerica – Patlabor Mobile Police – Animeigo – Bubblegum Crisis Screensaver – June 1994
Animerica – Dirty Pair – Anime VHS & Laserdisc Ad Copy – Dragon Knight – May 1994
Hot pants and Go-Go boots plaster this months issue of Animerica. I need to pick up Right Stuf's reissue of Dirty Pair. The interview in the article is quite good. The ad? Well...By now, you've seen the pattern in early to mid 90's VHS and Laserdisc anime ads - Too much description copy and long verbose taglines/headlines: "The Dirty Pair - The action is non-stop and the … [Read more...] about Animerica – Dirty Pair – Anime VHS & Laserdisc Ad Copy – Dragon Knight – May 1994
Animerica – Harem Anime – Tenchi Muyo – Rei Rei Tentacle Porn – April 1994
Harem anime has arrived - a genre is born. Tenchi Muyo garners the cover for this month. I'm reading the interview with director Hiroki Hayashi and I found some information I never knew about the series:"No Need for Tenchi! is inspired by Gall Force and Bubblegum Crisis. We made up something that resembled a side story to Bubblegum or Gall Force..." "What I'd had in mind … [Read more...] about Animerica – Harem Anime – Tenchi Muyo – Rei Rei Tentacle Porn – April 1994
