From the legendary August 1, 1998 Sunrise/Xebec theatrical triple-feature that brought Gundam Wing: Endless Waltz, The 08th MS Team: Miller's Report, and the dark, breathtaking cinematic finale of Martian Successor Nadesico to the big screen, to the high-octane racing thrills of Bari Bari Densetsu and Cyber Formula SAGA, the chaotic beachside marriage rescues of Ranma ½, and the industry-shaping sci-fi drama of Ai no Kusabi... August 1 stands as one of the most commercially explosive and creatively massive dates in the entire history of the medium.
