So much mecha in one magazine! The History of Mecha Anime Part 1 is the highlight.I bought the majority of Gasaraki at Movie Trading Company as used singles. I might have bought one new. It was a confusion show at times. Not one I'd rewatch. The mecha was cool - the Votoms guy Ryosuke Takahashi worked on it. I should have read this spotlight article, lots of nuance gets … [Read more...] about History of Mecha Anime – Gasaraki – Gundam Wing Endless Waltz – Animerica October 2000

Cover story is a lengthy Serial Experiments Lain feature that I've included below. Remember when Serial Experiments Lain was released. Few people had DSL, broadband was growing but slowly.

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.
