Urusei Yatsura is the cover for November.I think this Record of Lodoss War ad has the first appearance of an anime box set. Granted they've shown bundles for Anime 18, but this is the first for US Manga Corps. Promoted as a "Gift Box" 13 episodes for $129 - a good $50 price break than purchasing the individual volumes.Here's the oddity of this issue.

The primary scene is when Jinnai has the mic and talks directly to the camera screen - lots of editors use that scene.

Animerica – Macross Plus, CPM Comics – Robotech : Macross The Perfect Collection January 1995
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.
