April 1990 Pt.4 Animedia Magazine
From this Second
magazine example I will endeavour use this to briefly show you the
contents and style as a pictorial comment on the Japanese Anime
Magazine “Animedia”.
Animedia First
Published in July 1981 by Gakken Co., Ltd. Consisting of 152 pages
(including the front & back covers), #4 April 1990 (No 106). 500
Yen.
This was one of my
monthly ways to get news on Anime. On the whole it does look like
Animedia focuses on TV shows.
Front cover -Nadia:
The Secret of Blue Water.
[Note: No details on
the Writer or illustrator].
[Note: No details on

Bubblegum Crisis. (BGC).
City Hunter, & Legend
of heavenly Sphare,
???
Kimagure Orange Road (KOR).
Nadia: The Secret of Blue Water looks to be very popular, with quite some interest for 'Patabor' too.
[Note: I have left out
most of the adverts from this April's Japanese Magazines, they will
be in the end of the month's review.]
[Note: 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 and
artwork, (and that just suited me just fine back in the 1990's).]

March 1990 Pt.3 Animage magazine.
This is the third
example of a Japanese Anime magazine that I will use as an
introduction to show you the contents and style through a set of
photos of this Japanese Anime Magazine “Animage”.
Animage Published
monthly by Tokuma Shoten Publishing Co., Ltd. Consisting of 212
pages (including the front & back covers). #3 March 1990 (
Volume 141).
Front cover Noa Izumi from Patlalor.
Animage was
First Published in July 1978
Back cover (Future Boy Conan)
[Note:
Animage stood out on the shelf next to the other Anime magazines as
it had a hard flat spine.]
Contence Page.
The contents of this
magazine, has not been translate by me. All I really could glean was
from the few English words and the recognizable animation stills, and
illustrations, and to quote a good friend of mine “We all just
looked at the pictures but blimey; What pictures!! “
[Note: Little did I
know at the time, that 'Animage' ran the infrequent serialization of
the comic-book 'Nausicaä of
the Valley of the Wind' Written and illustrated by Hayao
Miyazaki, one of my all time favourites!]
?
Devil man
Moomins
City Hunter
Bits of Artwork...
SD Patlabor!
Those Lovely Angels....
Well what do we have hear?!
[Note: Tokuma
Shoten Publishing Co., Ltd being one of the biggest entertainment
publishers of their time and that they were Studio Ghibli parent
company you do see Manga and novellas printed in Animage also
produced as animation.]
Animage
serialized the novella “I Can Hear the Sea” by Saeko
Himuro as an insert (in a paper size not unlike A5). Most of us
Westerners that were Anime & Manga fans did not read Japanese, so we missed out on the details of stories.
