July 1990 Pt.5 Anime Hasshin


Anime Hasshin's 'The Rose' Volume 4 No.22 Published Bimonthly by Anime Hasshin. 20 pages $2.50 (6 for $12) Editor Lorraine Savage.

SPECIAL FEATURES
Interview with Toren Smith (Studio Proteus),
Boah,
Horobi,
Orange Road,
Megazone 23 & Mellowlink songs,
anime in Britain

Published Bimonthly, so that is roughly 8 weeks between one issue falling from our post-box at home to the next exciting issue (being overseas, you could add a few days to the arrival).
Submissions had to arrive before the 2nd. Friday of the month (being the odd numbered month) before the next issue, Friday the 8th. June was this issue's deadline, and September 14th for the next. In addition to this the post could take 7 Business days, but more likely 2 to 3 weeks for overseas.

[NOTE: That's 80,640 minutes or 1,344 hours or about 56 days = 2 Months. How's that for an Internet speed!]

Anime Hasshin's 'The Rose' was always eagerly awaited, and much loved whenever it arrived through the letterbox. It was a hub of information, and a big part of the Anime & Manga Pen-Pals that corresponded though it, more like a family than just a paper-based network.
