July 1990 Pt.4 'PC Engine Fan' Magazine
PC
Engine Fan
- First Published in 1988 by Tokuma Shoten Publishing Co. Consisting
of 108 pages (including the front & back covers), Published
Monthly #7 July 1990 (Volume 3),390 Yen.
[NOTE: The 'PC Engine
Fan' magazine was part of a few Japanese magazines that concentrated
exclusively the home market of the NEC's video game consoles, and was
devoted to the PC Engine. A compact and superior 8bit video game console,
that evolved in a modular fashion, known for its slim credit-card
sized games, and what is more it would have the first console games on
CD-ROM, with high quality CD audio.]
Wow! I'd almost
forgotten I had any Japanese PC Engine magazines from 1990. Not only was it that it had Cel-like artwork on the front cover, much like Anime industry, but featured many video games that were Anime tie-ins much to my delight.
Again 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 identifiable artworks and illustrations of tie-ins and
popular games, but looking back this was full colour, and was just as
powerful as static linked web-pages showing me a wider World, as even
a 1990's video gamer the NEC's PC Engine was even more niche and
underground than your average Anime and Manga fan in the UK.
Cover Cel-like art from 'The Legend of A Fantasm Soldier III'.
The Grey PC-Engine, with the Supper CD-ROM System, and Stereo add-on.
The Contents page (for you to translate if you like.)
'Urusei Yatsura - Stay with You', better known as LUM
(game title to be added..!)
Urusei Yatsura, better known as LUM
(game title to be added..!)
From the OVA 'Far East of Eden'.
Is this from an Anime ?
Advert for 'The Legend of A Fantasm Soldier III'
(not an Anime, but with animation Cel like artwork).
Adverts for.............??
Adverts for 'Sol Bianca' & 'Cyber City OEDO 808'
Adverts for
New games Coming soon.
Ranma 1/2
The Back cover with an advert for ' Ghosts and Ghouls'.
Probably the best Arcade conversion for the PC Engine next to 'Street Fighter II'.
Truly the NEC's PC Engine was even more niche and underground than your average Anime and Manga fan in the UK in the late 1980's and early 1990's, but it too had its Fandom, and those interests did overlap for many Fans.
[NOTE: I still have the first 'The Legend of A Fantasm Soldier' on CD-ROM.]

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
the Writer or illustrator].
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).]
