Anime Interviews: The First Five Years of Animerica, Anime & Manga Monthly (1992-1997)

If you've gotten the Animerica magazine you should know a little about anime in general. This has interviews on various manga and anime creators. Pretty good, not great but good.

The best anime magazine has put out the best set of interviews from some of the biggest names in anime. A very well-done collection of interviews along with pictures and illustrations of artists, creators, charaters, and more. Even though it only contains interviews, it gives a background on the interviewee and brings about many questions and answers that we have all wondered. Definitely a masterpiece

has the dubious distinction of being the only book of its kind in the English-speaking world. It is exactly what it claims to be: a look into the hearts and minds of some manga and anime creators. For those looking for reviews and summaries of their favorite manga and anime series, look elsewhere. The interviews are about the creators, not their characters and storylines.Unfortunately, is not, by any means, an impartial cross section. The interviews focus almost exclusively upon the genre popular in the United States. Shoujo manga is completely neglected except for a token interview with Nanase Ohkawa of CLAMP at the end of the volume. Still, it is enjoyable book.

If you are as big of a fan of anime as I am this book will tell you nothing you don't know. Don't bother to get this book.

This is one of the best sources to read an in-depth interview on your favorite manga artist or anime director, producer, etc. This gives all reviews Animerica had from their first 5 years in one book. You must get anime or manga otaku!!!!
