It Belongs In A Museum! Artifacts of Anime Fandom

Anime fans online collect artifacts from fandoms past~

A friend of mine passed this link on to me: it's a Flickr group called Artifacts of Anime Fandom. It's primarily scans from old American fan documents-- a cover of Anime-Zine from god knows how many years ago (its cover sports images of "Megazone 23: The Original Version of the Robotech Movie"), as well as Animag,AnimeUK, Anime Guide, and a number of other old-school publications-- many of which I've never even heard of. ("Animenominous!" from 1991?)

Now, I never bought many anime mags-- a couple of issues of Animerica back in the day --so the nostalgia factor isn't exactly off the charts for me. But I know we have a few older readers-- and a few younger ones who might appreciate the sense of history. Go ahead, flip through for a bit-- see anything you recognize, or that interests you?
