Everyone knows that with a hobby there is going to be a magazine to accompany that said hobby. In Japan there is a large abundance of anime magazine and NewType is at the top. However, in America there is only 2 anime magazines; Anime Insider and Otaku USA. NewType USA was the best anime magazine for years until it cease publication 6 months ago.
Anime Insider is published by Wizard Entertainment, they are well known cause they are the publishers for three more magazines for several different hobbies. The price of this magazine is cheap, only $5 U.S. dollars and a year subscription is $28 U.S. dollars. They cover from Japanese movies to Japanese music, which is a standard with U.S. anime mags. The thing I don't like about this magazine is that they only pay attention to the hot popular anime that is not that great like for example a orange jumpsuit wearing "ninja".
Otaku USA is published by Sovereign Media. They cover the various aspects of the otaku culture from an American perspective. The cool thing about this magazine is that it comes with a preview DVD of several anime that will be released soon and posters. I really enjoy this magazine but there is one thing I do not like about it and that is a new issue comes out every two months. The price of the magazine is only $10 U.S. dollars and the a year subscription is $28 U.S. dollars.
If my readers that do not live in the U.S. can tell, us American anime fans don't have much of an option. However, the future is looking good with a new anime magazine that is coming out soon. The magazine is called Future Anime. A special collector's edition of this magazine is going to include 12 anime posters and it will stay in stores until October 21st, I'm going to try to pick up an issue as soon as possible. Sorry for the tiny picture but it was the only one I could find.

lol Gurren Lagann again on the cover of Future Anime magazine.
You guys are really Lucky to be able to choose between 3 Magazines...
We only have one Magazine over here...
And since Manga and Anime is Girls Stuff over here it features lots of stuff i dont wanna think about and some Ninja Dude^^
Very cool man I have been looking for a mag. Just started looking this week. I am still considering Insider and Otaku. I will have to give Future a look as I have not heard of it.
I thought about ordering a subscription to one of the Japanese ones that is imported called Megami. But at around a $131 for a year I changed my mind.
the animes that they come with, are they dubbed in english or the episodes are in japanese with english subtitles?
in english, I guess.
I just got a hold of a copy :)
I'll take some picture and post them shortly...
But I still can't understand if the magazine is going to be monthly, by-monthly or what...
The episodes are subbed in english and The magazine is not monthly or bi-monthly right now. If is just a special issue to gauge the interest in the magazine. If the magazine becomes published on a regular basis then the terms on when it is coming out will be decided then. This is all explained in more detail on animenewsnetwork.com .
I still mourn the death of Newtype USA T_T
I am going to go pick up a copy of the Future Anime magazine in a few minutes, I checked it out yesterday at the store and almost got it then. I was interested in the anime covered in the magazine, the only thing that makes me sad is that the "future" anime is only really new to America since I've seen most of the series talked about in the magazine when they were airing in Japan. Oh well, we'll see what it brings.
Hi Dan, so how can we contact the magazine? Do they have a website already?
they do but they do not list future anime on their site
