MI-Anime is a gen and het anthology edited by Bill Hupe.
Issue 1
MI-Anime 1 (100 pgs) - was published in 1988. Features "Uncontrolled Experiment" by Marg Baskin based on Zeta Gundam; "The Bogeyman" by Weekes (Robotech), and Starblazers and Captain Harlock poetry. Art by Williams, Bruton, Young, and Teegar.
Issue 1.5
MI-Anime 1.5 was published in December 1988 and contains 75 page.
Its content is adult, no-slash fiction, including stories based on Heavy Metal L-Gaim, Robotech, and Megazone 23; and 2 portfolios, one each by Nei Mo Han and Teegar with the swimsuit issue.
From Bill Hupe, the editor:
Oops, I goofed in issue 1's editorial... slash is HOMOSEXUAL fiction, not hetero! We only accept hetero (big mistake there!). I have been asked if I will accept homosexual fiction if the characters involved were portrayed in such a manner, but I cannot. Homosexual fiction, as well as fiction along the lines of Creme Lemon, are illegal in many states, including Michigan. In other words, it is illegal for me to publish it here, as well as transport it into to many states. Sorry folks.
Never a big fan of slash fanworks, Hupe's comments here may reflect the result of anti-gay crackdowns taking place in his home state in the late 1970s and 1980s as result of AIDs hysteria. [1]
Bill would later go on to agent other slash fanzines.
