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.

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.
