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.

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

Animerica – Akira – Anime Soundtracks – Japanimation – August 1994
