[Noah Soudrette · Rating 2 out of 5]

This is one of the first guides/review books of the early days of the Anime boom in America. Because of this it is stunningly incomplete, especially compared with today's entries. Still, it's a great flashback to when I'd pay thirty buck for a dubbed VHS tape with just two episodes on it.

Review of the Anime morass since 1983. Author has a preference for Miyazaki. Will post 4 and 5 star movies later.
