Editorial

Boy some great stuff came out this month. For new anime I recommend Last 
Exile and Someday's Dreamers. For older titles the first box set of 
season 2 of the City Hunter TV series is out. For manga check out Hot 
Gimmick a great shojo series for teens and adults.

There is also a new company being covered in this newsletter Hirameki 
International Group. Geneon Entertainment is also releasing their 
Signature Series of major flagship titles at lower prices starting in 
January. Great titles artlower prices, this is perfect for buying that 
cousin the first disk of Trigun or Serial Experiments Lain to get them 
hooked on the series and anime. It could also be the start of a new 
trend of anime prices dropping again as it has been a few years since 
this last happened.

Number of New Entries in this issue:

   Anime:         93
   Manga & Magazines:   23
   Cinema:         1
   Other:             8
