@Summer, oh but the spoiler I read about Death Note made me die a little inside…and cry. I didn’t know the first season of Death Note was over with on Cartoon Network, until I read the article and found out too late T_T.

Thanks Rachel (and Summer)! I think I’ll try out anime insider, looks like a good mix of anime and manga and related news . I’ll watch out for spoilers- for the mystery/action type shows anyway I wouldn’t want them to give anything away, but for some reason I don’t mind spoilers for shoujo-type shows…(okay actually I sometimes look for them b/c I’m impatient…)

Subscriptions are only $28 for a year (12 issues)!

We keep the spoilers to a minimum, and warn people in the intro when we’re going to give something important away. But once the series is finished running on U.S. TV, all bets are off

Oh, one thing about AI that I have to warn you about: Spoilers ABOUND in each issue. Death Note was ruined, ruined I say!, by an article in last month’s mag. Be very aware of this before you read any anime related feature. If you don’t mind spoilers, then no worries.

@Susie Q, I think AI is a good deal per issue: $4.99 US. I’m sure it’s cheaper to subscribe for a year than to buy it mag by mag.

Newtype was an awesome anime magazine, but unfortunately they shut down and morphed into PiQ, a crappy imitation of a pop culture mag. There’s another magazine out there, OtakuUSA, but I’ve only read their premiere issue, which wasn’t very good- at all. They may have improved on their voice (too bloggy for print) and their grammar and spelling (run on sentences are a no-no in the print profession). But I recommend you check out OtakuUSA at the store and decide for yourself.

This looks like a really good magazine, do you subscribe? (would you recommend it? I’m assuming it’s probably not cheap…) I get shoujo beat right now and would be interested in something that features more variety of anime/manga .
