Animerica Magazine Volume 3, Issue 11 – November 1995

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...

The Wings of Honneamise is the cover for May’s Animerica Magazine. My current memory of this movie was Bandai Visual’s temporary push into the North American market. I remember watching Cyber City Oedo 808 on a pay movie channel. I can’t remember if it was Starz or not. I just remember lots of cursing....
