Animerica – LaserDisc – Hakkenden – Rei Rei – Pioneer Anime Ads – September 1995

May 10, 2012 by Lance Heiskell Leave a Comment

Orge Slayer was on this cover this month. As this project goes on, there are so many titles that I didn't know existed in the 90s.Now that I know that Gall Force was some of the same team behind Tenchi Muyo, I now have to find it and watch it.For Pioneer Ads in 1995, the level of quality greatly differs from issue to issue. I could have done the ad layout for this … [Read more...] about Animerica – LaserDisc – Hakkenden – Rei Rei – Pioneer Anime Ads – September 1995

Animerica – Astro Boy – Osama Tezuka – La Blue Girl – Anime 18 – Tentacle Anime – June 1995

May 2, 2012 by Lance Heiskell Leave a Comment

Astro Boy is this month's cover and the feature is about Osamu Tezuka.Once you open the magazine you are given a face full of an ad for La Blue Girl. I LOVE Anime 18's warnings on the covers for their hentai "WARNING! ABSOLUTELY NOT FOR CHILDREN" Gee, you would think the 'uncensored' bar on the woman's breasts would be a clue. Plus the TENTACLES are BACK!It still amazes … [Read more...] about Animerica – Astro Boy – Osama Tezuka – La Blue Girl – Anime 18 – Tentacle Anime – June 1995

Animerica – Record of Lodoss War – Tokyo Bablyon – US Renditions – Guyver – April 1995

Ears to another good issue of Animerica. Record of Lodoss War is on the cover.In this issue, CPM's US Manga Corp is taking Manga's subtitle premium pricing model and use it on Tokyo Babylon. English Subtitled VHS $29.95, English Dub $19.95. English dubs are expensive to produce so I keep wondering what was the logic to charge less for the English dub.I counted 14 … [Read more...] about Animerica – Record of Lodoss War – Tokyo Bablyon – US Renditions – Guyver – April 1995

April 15, 2012 by Lance Heiskell Leave a Comment

Happy New Year! 1995! So long 1994!Macross Plus is on the cover and the previous Macross II is no longer in story canon.Two different things for Animerica in this issue - new paper stock -matte paper (non-gloss) and lots more ads. This project now looks like it will run longer than I anticipated with the growing number of ads. I'm not complaining, this means more ads to … [Read more...] about Animerica – Macross Plus, CPM Comics – Robotech : Macross The Perfect Collection January 1995

Animerica – Akira – Anime Soundtracks – Japanimation – August 1994

March 26, 2012 by Lance Heiskell 1 Comment

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

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.
