xD It's one I associate first with my early ZSNESing days.

Oh I love Gunsmith Cats!!! I have been reading the manga and it’s a great read!

Something that might interest you is that there was actually a Gunsmith Cats light gun arcade game produced, but I haven’t seen footage of it.

Maybe you’ll feel like snooping around?🕵️‍♀️

Comiket '95! Doujin City! One of things spoken of in hushed tones by my anime club at the time.

Gunsmith Cats gets a pretty lush feature and there's some adorable fan art to catch your eye!

Let's finish up this peek with a nice bowl of Fizzy Jelly, courtesy of one of the themed recipes always included in Anime UK/FX.

I'll just add one more thing: a sweet con report from ReConTanimeTed; Birmingham's own anime con at the time.

I've added this to the list of things to transcribe for a Pages of the Past article for posterity on my site.

I went to that con, was great fun. Such a long time ago though, makes me feel very old

Ohhh neat! I was getting into my first anime club and 'zines when this con kicked off.

Was that an actual anime, or just some random one-off illustration?

sharkabytes.bsky.social•3 days ago

It doesn't ring a bell with me and I can't find anything like it, so I think it was just an illustration for the con book.

might this be peak Punny Con Name?

sharkabytes.bsky.social•4 days ago

Aha, I think it might.

Interesting that the byline renders it as "Gun Smith Cats" (and the leading on the article title seems to as well) even though the cover says "Gunsmith".
