Anime & Manga magazines - 10-19-2010, 02:17 PM

There are a lot of anime and manga magazines out there. Since I haven't found a tread like this I decided to open this one so we all have a thread where we can discuss our favorite magazines as the new issues come out every month.

Here is the list of the more popular ones:

Newtype
Animedia
Nyan Type
Megami
Animage
Comptiq
Dengeki G's
Dengeki Bunko
Dengeki Daioh
Dengeki Maoh
Dengeki Hime
LaLa
Asuka
Shonen Ace
Young Ace
Comp Ace
Dragon Age
Champion Red

My personal favorites are Newtype, Animedia & Dengeki G's since they offer pretty good free stuff like posters, pencil boards, notebooks... & sometimes even figures from popular anime & manga. High quality pages are full of beautiful pictures of the latest anime & manga series, totally worth buying!
If you know or read any other magazines, be sure to write something about it too , you can also put pictures of magazines & appendix that came with it.

Newtype helped me learn to draw like Go Nagai (healthy appreciation of hooters), was a great rag until it went up to 15-18 bucks a copy.

I bought my copy directly from Japan. November 2010 issue arrived yesterday.

Here's a pic -> Newtype November 2010

It cost me around 20$ with shipping and everything. Not too bad. It really is a great magazine, pics inside are great and the posters in this issue are awsome. Although I can't read Japanese, I still love it

My Animedia November 2010 issue arrived today & I was very surprised to see they actually give A4 size clear files which is awesome! So far I must say Animedia is my favorite

This issue came with Hakuoki Hekketsu-roku & K-ON! clear files + Animedia original comic + Kuroshitsuji II stickers (a whole page of stickers)

Here are the pictures so you can enjoy as well.

There is a new magazine out there, it's called Otomedia and it's being published by the same company as Animedia, with selected content for girls! From Sengoku Basara to Black Buttler, Hetalia, Durarara and tons of more, it is a great magazine for all manga and anime fan girls, full color with great visuals on the most stylish heroes from your favorite series. This issue comes with a gorgeous clearfile from Sengoku Basara. The cover is featuring a character from Hakuoki Hekketsu-roku.

Otomedia vol. 1 Autumn edition

Here is one more magazine I bought. This one's a manga magazine.
The cover is featuring High School of the Dead.

Just to give an update. Most of December 2010 issues of Anime magazines have posters from popular anime inside, but that's about it, so I decided to skip it and wait for January 2011 issues since some of them will be giving 2011 calendars and it's another way to save some money for Fukubukuro

One more thing, feel free to post your opinions, experiences, pictures, feeling & more about Anime & Manga magazines, because I opened this thread for that purpose.
