The Japanese Animation News & Review was an anime fanzine published by Bill Ames and Mark Weiss. Neil Nadelman uploaded two issues of JAN&R to MEGA in April of 2023, stating in advance that despite contributing to the zine in the 1990s, he had ended his friendship with Weiss following the 2016 US election. Weiss's quoted response was, "Well, another Jew Liberal out of my life! Good riddance!"[1]
About
JAN&R featured translations, reviews, series guides, meta essays and classified ads.
Attention BJS! I received a copy of the Japanese Animation News & Review, the official Newsletter of the Hokubie Anime-Kai (North American Anime Circle). JAN&R, if you will, is edited by our very own Bill Ames of Connecticut. and aside of being the biggest Urusei Yatsura fan in this sector, Bill Ames and his partner Mark Weiss, have demonstrated talent an ability far beyond what I have done at my very best (of course They have a TARGA 32 workstation !!). I wholeheartedly recommend this 'zine to any members of this or any other anime club.Final Stop Andromeda Issue 40 (Jan/Feb 1991)
