You’ve reached the online home of Neo Magazine, the UK’s new and exciting guide to Japanese pop culture.
The first issue hits the shelves of all good newsagents and stockists like WHSmith and Borders on 25th November 2004, and will include in-depth features on the latest anime hits like Dead Leaves.
Fans of Japanese movies like Ring and Dark Water should check out Neo’s feature on the Americanisation of latest box-office smash, The Grudge.
If manga’s your thing, then Neo will be your essential guide to the past-and-present output of publishers like Viz, Tokyopop and Dark Horse Comics.
You can even win a snowboard thanks to www.crazyninja.com, and watch all the movies you want free for two weeks courtesy of www.moviemine.com!
And that’s not all… the first issue alone has features on Chiaki Kuriyama (Go Go Yubari from Kill Bill), a feature on the convoluted 10-year Tekken family saga in time for the launch of Tekken 5, an interview with ADV Films’ voice actress Monica Rial, feature on the 20 year-old TV series created by Hayao (Spirited Away) Miyazaki, J-Pop profile on Ayumi Hamasaki, previews, reviews, an all-new comic strip and much, much more.

So what do you think? Will you be getting it? The last anime magazine, Manga Max finished in 2000 promising to appear again in the new year, but that never happened. Shame because after that anime and manga became more popular and there was a lot more exposure on UK tv.
I'm suprised we're only hearing about this magazine now as usually something like this doesnt usually sneak up without people knowing. Espcially as they would have got the interview with Monica Rial when she came to that summer UK convention Amecon.
I've always wanted a new anime magazine, though a UK Newtype would have been nice. Hopefully it'll promote anime and manga better in the UK. Those anime fans on here who have only ever seen Ghost in the Shell and Akira will finally be introduced to the many 100s of other decent animes. And those fans on here who have never even read a manga will get a chance to see what the fuss is about. The Jfilms and Jmusic is a plus atleast it's not hong kong martial arts film like Manga Max did (though still good).
I'm sure I'll get my brother to buy it, he bought all the other anime mags. Hopefully it'll be quiet good, no doubt if they promote the UK anime conventions they'll fill up within days because there are too many fans and only small conventions (thanks to the organisers who would rather have a select few friends as a con rather than something big like in America)

"Brought" is the past tense form of "bring".
"Bought" is the past tense form of "buy".
Jeez, why does no-one understand this?

No, I was merely pointing out that because of the popularity of Japanese films Americans have started to remake their own versions. The main focus was on the increase exposure of Japanese films. Azul being an idiot kept going on about the US films which the magazine also talk about comparing with the original. So whatever retarded point Azul was trying to make doesn't stand anymore.
I see now. I've changed it now but I will look in to the different meanings so I can educate myself and not make that mistake again.
Grammar.

No, bought would have sufficed.

Poor grammer yes? Looking at it "purchased" would have been a better word to use. It will be changed.
