From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

(Redirected from Newtype USA)

Newtype is an anime and manga magazine. It is originally published in Japan by Kadokawa Shoten and has an English version called Newtype USA. It is also published in Korea. There is also another set of publications titled Newtype Hero/Newtype the Live, which is dedicated to tokusatsu.

Newtype USA includes both translated Japanese content and original U.S. material. Content includes anime, manga, music, game, toy and model reviews, director interviews, artist profiles, and regular columns by industry experts, tastemakers and deep-cover insiders. Newtype USA also includes bonus content, such as posters, postcards, a centerfold spread, serialized manga, and a DVD insert. Newtype USA is published by A.D. Vision, parent company of the anime distributor ADV Films and manga publisher ADV Manga, but the magazine still features content and promotional material from properties distributed by competing publishers. The first Newtype USA issue was published in November 2002.

Both the original Japanese and English editions use the "right-to-left" format. The Korean edition is reversed.

Manga that have been serialized in Newtype include Full Metal Panic!, Angel/Dust, Chrono Crusade, Lagoon Engine Einsatz, Neon Genesis Evangelion: Angelic Days, the Aoi House 4-koma, and Angel/Dust Neo.

Newtype Korea is published by Daiwon C&A Holdings, parent company of the anime distributor Anione TV and manga publisher Daiwon C&A Holdings. The first Newtype Korea issue was published in 1998.
