Looking Back on Newtype USA 15 Years Later Once upon a time (or, before internet access was as accessible as it is today) anime magazines played a key role in keeping anime fans plugged in to what was going on in the anime industry. Bigger, bolder, and glossier than its competition, Newtype USA was easily among the most popular anime publications in the west before suddenly going out of print in 2008.

Looking Back on Newtype USA 15 Years Later: Anime historian Red Bard traces the history and impact of Newtype USA, which ran from 2002 to 2008. They look at the features the magazine put forth, the circumstances behind its rise and fall, and its impact on North American anime fandom, as a whole.

Pictured is Fanelia cosplaying as Hanon (Super Idol) from Mermaid Melody. She is posed with her back to camera, as if she is fixing to start a concert.

Pictured is a closeup shot of Fanelia’s Hanon cosplay, capturing the sparkly details of the costume.

“Let’s start this live concert with a Pichi Pichi voice!!”🩵
Thank you all so much for all of the love on Hanon!🥹 I’ve received so many sweet messages and I’m so thankful!!💕💕

A Twitter screenshot of a tweet that says "I'm not falling for that hot take. That's clearly someone with a fetish for getting yelled at. I refuse to participate in that kind of perversion"

The show basically planted the seeds to grow into all the toxic vile gamergate guys later on

Same goes for cosplay or any other fan work imo

You'll gain a LOT more appreciation for the work people put into their fandoms if you try it yourself!

I don't personally read fanfic but this applies to so much. We're making fandom for free at best, paying money to do it at worst

Your favorite campgrounds, hiking trails, and forests could soon be up for auction Republicans want to make 250 million acres of public lands eligible for sale to housing developers.

I know everything is on fire but PLEASE contact your representatives about the selloff of public lands. It's a heartbreaking proposal that will destroy the soul of America.
