Rurouni Kenshin and Samurai X – Kimagure Orange Road – Animerica June 2000

August 18, 2016 by Lance Heiskell Leave a Comment

The cover may look Slayers but this issue is all Rurouni Kenshin, Kimagure Orange Road and Mobile Suit Gundam Wing with feature for Slayers Try. I did not know that Rurouni Kenshin and Samuai X released around the same time. I never got into that series.

Long Ruroni Kenshin Animerica Spotlight.

What I find interesting is that “prior to 1968, common people in Japan generally did not have family names. They were known by their first name and their district, the place where they worked, or their craft or trade.

Practice Makes Awesome

A Few Tips Upon Reading

First off, find a secluded area and pour yourself a beverage of choice. You must cleanse the palate to take in the delicacies of the nostalgia I'm about to throw down.

Second, if it’s cold where you live, grab a blanket, maybe two. If at all possible, sit down while reading. I hate standing, never stood for it, never will.

Finally, see if you can find the encrypted message left in the third magazine post.
