July 1990 Pt. 1 Animedia magazine.

Animedia - First Published in July 1981 by Gakken Co., Ltd. Consisting of 138 pages (including the front & back covers), #7 July 1990 (No 108) 9^th. Anniversary Issue.

As I've said this was one of the ways I got my monthly Anime news. On the whole it does look like Animedia focuses on TV shows, and a younger patron.

Not being able myself to translate the Japanese details of the contents of this magazine, what you get is solely from the few English words and the recognizable animation stills, and illustrations\artwork, and that just suited me just fine back in the 1990's.

[NOTE: with hindsight and Japanese websites (plus Google Translate) and Wikipedia to cross reference to the facts to fill in the gaps post 2010 are getting better.]

Blog update 85

Blog update 85 or a retrospective on 2017's work.

I was a little bit distracted ( See Below) with collecting and cataloguing in 2017; cataloguing the Flipped Manga comic-books from 1987 to the early 90's; with some of these replace lost or sold copies that I had at the time, or just to get examples ready for the coming years of blogging (as I thought that this would save time in the long run!). As the UK Anime Fandom and the Retail industry are in their infancy from the early 90's to the mid 90's, my task only gets bigger, as the “Explosion” of Anime takes off, my collection of Retail paraphernalia, and that of early Anime conventions dwarf that of my Japanese Anime magazines (well my NewTypes end after 95).

So to2018 and its depiction of 1990 and 1991, before the Old Guard all gets dementia, and before the new generation of Fans can not avert their eyes from Video clips to find and explore the past.

THANKS for scrolling down this far....

Even from these Thumbnails the cover art leaps out at you!
