Shown above is a backpage ad that I found in an Anime Mook for Terra He from 1980 (click the image to view at the full size). What's cool about the ad is that it features both Mobile Suit Gundam and Space Cruiser Yamato (Star Blazers). New anime has come and gone but it's funny for me to think that the two shows are still so popular today (I guess you can say the same thing about Star Trek and Star Wars).
