Nothing too spectacular in this issue of Mixx Zine. Seriously. Still dude bros editing a magazine with b-boy lingo -pure ’90s color and layout and style. Highlights: New series Harlem Beat. Way too many colors and !Exclamation! !Points! on the Mixx Page. Everything has to be branded Mixx. 3D Adventures of Sailor Moon has...

Holy crap do I have a lot to cover in this issue of Animerica. Part 3 of “Beyond Sailor Moon” covers Sailor Moon SuperS and and Sailor Stars. I’ve noticed from Google Analytics that more people check out the magazines with Sailor Moon. I scanned this feature since it covers a lot of all...

Not much to say with the 1998 issues of Mixx Zine. Just a lot of b-boyz publishing a manga mag towards girls. Lots overuse of photoshop, starburts and the color hot pink. Highlights: I still don’t understand MixxMoney – not explained that well. You have to be a subscriber to earn MixxMoney – so...

The ’90s was full of hot pink, black, blue and purple, gradients and starburts. Tokyopop/MixxZine was the epitome of this look. The 1998 issues of Mixx Zine are a wankfest of photoshop layers, gradients and effects. I really don’t understand the editorial in all these issues. A female oriented manga magazine with all all...

Here is the second issue of Mixx Zine. The magazine and company which would turn into Tokyopop. I so love the 90′s cover layout. The artist even gets two thirds of the credits page in the magazine. A little odd, but that’s ok. Each of the 4 manga series in this magazine got an...

In This Issue of Animerica – ANIME! – what a shocker. Highlights: Part 2 of the “Summer of Anime” Project A-Kon 8 in Dallas, Texas is the featured con report. Highlights include a fire alarm clearing the convention – that never gets old. I like the one page of color photos. You’ll be seeing...

First Issue of Mixx Zine. Mixx Publications was the company that would later be known as Tokyopop. They even had a magazine named Tokyopop (which I have a few copies that I’ll be scanning the covers and some ads from) In this first issue there were 4 manga titles: Sailor Moon, Magic Knight Rayearth,...
