Japanese help -- ajibirameita fanjin?

Question

Yes, I'm still working on that SF essay. In the 60s and 70s, some SF fans put out a so-called アジビラめいたファンジン。

Would it be safe to say, "a rabble-rousing fanzine" or am I missing some nuances?

Thanks for any help you can provide.

Answer 1

"アジビラめいたファンジン" literally means:
agitation handbill-like fanzine.

So, I think that "rabble-rousing fanzine" is a good translation.

FYI:
アジビラ(ajibira) and ファンジン(fanjin) are abbreviations:
>> アジビラ(ajibira) = アジテーション(agitation) + ビラ(handbill)
>> ファンジン(fanjin) or fanzine = ファン(fan) + マガジン(magazine)
めいた(meita) >> めく(meku) = [something]-like, [somehow]-like

Answer 2

Hmmm...I'd say a 'past-hope' fanzine based on my perception of its meaning and past knowledge of Japanese but it is a metaphorical not literal language.

Answer 3

moderatly safe to say
