The oldest item in Richard’s box of Japanese magazines is a copy of MyAnime<\/em><\/strong>. Here are some scans illustrating the state of anime thirty-six years ago. These are large scans; right-click and open in a new window to see them at full resolution.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The Lovely Angels<\/a> were on television then, as were Lum and her crew.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Lum, incidentally, is still a popular cosplay subject<\/a> forty years after Urusei Yatsura<\/a><\/em><\/strong>‘s debut, albeit usually in her tiger-skin bikini and boots.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

There is always a Gundam<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

1985 was the year of the first Iczer<\/a><\/em><\/strong> OVA. I tried watching it a long time ago. Ick; not recommended.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The Arion<\/a><\/em><\/strong> movie would be released the next year. There’s not much information about it. Apparently its most noteworthy aspect is that Joe Hisaishi, the Quincy Jones<\/a> of Japan, did the soundtrack.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The Dirty Pair<\/em><\/strong> again, and one of the many iterations of GeGeGe no Kitaro<\/a><\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Odds and ends I don’t recognize.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Some of the “peple” mentioned on the cover of the magazine. I have no idea who any of them are.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

An early “idol” project?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Lum as a pixelated character in a computer game. Nausica\u00e4<\/a>, too.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

A posable figurine. They’re a bit fancier these days.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

More people I don’t recognize.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Television listings?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And finally, a “fanzine.”<\/p>\n

I returned the box of Japanese magazines to Richard when I moved last month, so this is the last batch of anime magazine scans I’ll be posting. There are more scans from Richard’s box here<\/a>, here<\/a>, here<\/a>, here<\/a>, here<\/a> and here<\/a>. And here<\/a> and here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
