Genkai Posted September 26, 2002 Share Posted September 26, 2002 there aren't a whole lot of good ones here... i'm talking about magazines about anime, not manga anthologies.. i read animerica and anime invasion, i don't know any other magazines, but if you do, could you inform me? there are some magazines for particular series, like dbz and pokemon, but im not interested in those.

amiboshi Posted September 26, 2002 Share Posted September 26, 2002 You named the only two I know of, besides monthy manga magazines, and you said you didn't want those. I wish there were some more good anime mags around...(in US at least...^^) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Imsirion Posted September 26, 2002 Share Posted September 26, 2002 I pick up an Animerica whenever I see one, but thats all I've ever seen. I've only seen it at Blockbuster, and the stores in my town only sell Videogame,Fitness,Hunting, and porn mags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Semjaza Posted September 26, 2002 Share Posted September 26, 2002 There is always Animerica Extra... which really is just a manga compilation with some Japanese culture stories mixed in. I think the manga in it right now is Utena, Chicago, Video Girl AI, Fushugi Yugi and some others I can't remember. Animerica is seperate of course, but doesn't really interest me. There is a magazine called Play here. It's a video game, movie and anime entertainment magazine. I've never bothered to check it out, but I've heard good things. Wizard puts out something called Anime Invasion... But I've never bought this either. If it's anything like Wizard I'm not interested lol. Then of course there are always the online e-zines such as [url]www.atanime.com[/url] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Hikaru Ichijyo Posted September 27, 2002 Share Posted September 27, 2002 Here I come to save the day, you guys wanted anime magazines that weren't primarly Manga related ones. Well the only ones that cross my mind are: Animerica ProtoCulture Addicts Newtype Magazine As for anime mags that are mostly manga's There is Shoujin Jump Ramjin Comics Animerica Extra Thats about it. There are a couple of japanese magazines out also in import shops but I'm sure though most of you can't read japanese. So I hope this helps you guys out.

Semjaza Posted September 27, 2002 Share Posted September 27, 2002 I just got a mailer from Newtype today... It seems as if it's pretty decent, but I dunno about the $90 subscription price lol. Anyone know if it's worth it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen Asuka Posted September 27, 2002 Share Posted September 27, 2002 [color=crimson][size=1]There was TokyoPop, but I wouldn't be surprised if they quit publishing their magazine, especially since they just discontinued Smile magazine, which really upset me. I liked TokyoPop and it wasn't just anime and manga, it was the whole Japanese culture. It was a very interesting read.[/color][/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turkey Posted September 27, 2002 Share Posted September 27, 2002 They discontinued Tokyopop, right after I subscribed. Every few months, I reread the articles, and find them as good as the first time I read them. Truly an excellent magazine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genkai Posted October 12, 2002 Author Share Posted October 12, 2002 aww. i missed tokyopop.. smile was supposed to be good, and i dont mind reading shouojo, soo.... anyway, newtype is EXPENSIVE. i duno if it's worth it. but i heard it comes with sample dvds and stuff, so... hmm. thinking whteher or not to subscribe.

[/B][/QUOTE] Well its rather expensive but the dvds they give you are promotional material for adv and other companies, basically the dvd contains promotional trailers and two episodes of the latest anime series for that company dubbed. Personally I don't think its worth the price, especially when they give out new type magazines for free at anime conventions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genkai Posted October 12, 2002 Author Share Posted October 12, 2002 yeah. plus, i doubt itll come to any stores near me, except maybe quakerhead. i think it's easier to spare 10 bucks a month than 90 at once. ya know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen Asuka Posted October 12, 2002 Share Posted October 12, 2002 [color=crimson][size=1]So how much exactly is the anime magazine that you guys are speaking of? And I don't think I've ever even heard of it. Do they sell it at bookstores or what?[/color][/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genkai Posted October 13, 2002 Author Share Posted October 13, 2002 newtype??? i didnt hear of it till this thread, but i went to the site.. 90 bucks to subscribe, 10 bucks an issue..... :rolleyes: seriously. um ,i wouldnt really think of subscribing, or probably buying the mag before i glanced through it.. it didn't sound like anything more than animerica, possibly less. for ten bucks you can get a tokyopop "uthentic" manga....

ZeroBlade Posted October 13, 2002 Share Posted October 13, 2002 Only book I know was already mentioned...Animerica. As far as subscription goes, according to this 2 year old postcard order its $50 for one year and $96 for two. And if you with with the Animercia Extra option, its $83 bucks for a year. I always wanted to subscribe but I only seen one book and that was a LONG time ago (2 years I think, I liked the one I saw though cause of the art and they reviewed the Perfect Grade Wing Zero Custom model, which by the way, was the first time I saw that thing.) Anyone still read Animerica around here? If so, is it still any good? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juu Posted October 13, 2002 Share Posted October 13, 2002 [color=deeppink] [size=1]I read animarica, since they have it at the Kinyokunia store here, in Japantown. ^^ I also read some of the Korean ones, one of them is called 'Anime World' except, in Korean... My dad's buying me some Japanese magazines also, since he wants me to learn how to read Japanese... He puts on this stupid tape that repeats like, 20 japanese words over...and.. over...

Genkai Posted October 13, 2002 Author Share Posted October 13, 2002 interesting method of learning japanese.. i read animerica and get really mad at borders and suncoast cause they NEVER stock the new one until 2 weeks after it comes out!!! the november one came out on friday, but NO, borders doesn't have it.T_T not kewl. i wish i knew how to speak korean. well, if i spoke jaanese, that'd be helpful too, so... oh well, im still stuck on learning chinese....

Queen Asuka Posted October 13, 2002 Share Posted October 13, 2002 [color=crimson][size=1]I still read Animerica but I only buy it on occasion now because it, like everything else, is getting a little mainstream, if you know what I mean. But it's still nice nonetheless. Speaking of TokyoPop manga, they put out the very BEST and I love collecting them. And for only ten dollars, too! I got Chobits volume 3 and Paradise Kiss volume 3 last night. :D And they were released two weeks early at my Media Play! :)[/color][/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bra Posted October 17, 2002 Share Posted October 17, 2002 I read Animerica and Beckett occasionally.. It gets kinda dull every now and then, but what can I say.. I think the fan art is pretty good in the Beckett magazines. :) :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genkai Posted October 18, 2002 Author Share Posted October 18, 2002 AAH!!!
