Rare! Anime Press / ANIMEBOX promotional item set, 1999

Thank you for viewing.

This is a set of four A4-size promotional materials related to anime, issued around 1999. The main items are two publications from Pioneer LDC (now NBC Universal Entertainment Japan): "Anime Press Vol.79" and "ANIMEBOX June 1999, No. 4," both of which compile the latest information on new anime and video software.

These publications feature special reports and introductions to works that were being broadcast or released at the time, such as "To Heart," "Kacho-Oji HARD ROCK Save the Space," "Tenchi Muyo!," and "Toukyou Den." They are valuable resources for understanding anime culture in the late 1990s.

In addition, the set includes two A4 flyers distributed around the same time ("Toukyou Den TOKYO Gaiden," "OVA Kakutoshin," and related materials for Sunny Knights). Covering a wide range of genres, from anime and OVAs to live-action idols and special effects, this set strongly conveys the atmosphere of media mix at the time.

The paper materials are in very good condition for being 25 years old, having been stored in a clear file, with no folds or significant damage. They are highly valuable both for their informational content and collectibility, and it is rare to find them offered together on the market.

As an explanation, this set focuses on information about new anime from around the summer of 1999. In particular, "Kacho-Oji" has character introductions, story details, and information about the music, including the participation of famous overseas guitarists like John Sykes and Michael Schenker, making it a valuable resource.

The "Tenchi Muyo!" materials summarize TV, OVA, and movie information, demonstrating the popularity of the series at the time. "To Heart" is also interesting as an early resource for the game-to-anime adaptation. In addition, you can look back at various genres at once, including the OVA "Kakutoshin," Sunny Knights, and Transformers-related information.

Shipping will be via Yuu Yuu Mercari Bin, with measures taken to prevent folding and water damage, and will be sent with care.
