This month's issue's cover is a show that I've never heard of before: Battle Arena Toshiden. So for Animerica to game the system, they put a "Hey Sailor Moon News!" call out on the cover. Very clever, cause there's a lot of Sailor Moon in this issue.From this issue:DIC's first Sailor Moon VHS box set.

Animerica – Ani-Mayhem – Armitage III – Pioneer Anime – June 1996
Remember when Pioneer went all out with Armitage III? For Armitage III, they took a cue from Hollywood animated movies and cast some Hollywood talent. Kiefer Sutherland and Elizabeth Berkley played the leads.
