Newtype USA and anime network

Barnes · July 30, 2004, 11:21:52 PM

I've read recently that with Newtype, the only way to get the free dvd each month is to suscribe.Not an option for me since I currently can't afford the subscriction price.
I don't get Anime Network but I've read that since its getting into mainstream cable, it will no longer be uncut.Is that true?
Any thoughts?

Newtype USA, even when sold on-the-rack, does come with a DVD (and a poster, as well). You just have to make sure that the copy you buy is in a plastic wrapper. All the DVD gives you is the first full episode of a couple of shows, along with numerous previews and ads.

Yes it's true, taken from animeondvd.com:

NewType USA August Edition
August issues are on the shelves and you probably noticed something. Yes, there's no DVD. The DVD is now exclusive to the people who have a direct subscription with NTUSA. So keep that in mind when you slap down your $10 for an issue now. If you want the DVD, you'll have to subscribe. Or you can find something else to do with your $10 now. The DVD for subscribers contains Super Milk-Chan Ep. 3 and quite a few trailers.

I was thinking that it was because of jackasses who would walk into the store and take the dvd out of the issue by ripping the plastic off.Thanks a ****ing lot you jackasses out there, you know who you are! :evil:
I bought the August issue anyway and the coverage is good enough for me.What about this price increase I heard about? I read about the magazine going to 14.99 (or something) starting September (not in the magazine itself). I hope thats a joke.

I've never bought an issue of NewType USA but I remember that before they were released, they were going to be like $13-14 an issue. They cut the price a bit though to what they are now.

You know... The Japanese version of NewType is only like 800 JPY (so maybe $6.75?) AND they get better freebies like shitajiki and stuff. But I guess the trade-off is that the news and reviews won't be helpful unless you know some Japanese.

Newtype USA pulls the DVD from the newstand issues?!?!?! BWWWHAHAHAHA! (sniff, sniff) :lol: I'm sorry, but the DVD was the ONLY redeeming factor in parting with $10 for an over-hyped Animerica-Mag like Newtype USA.

Gah! If you have a decent newstand in your area, demand tha they carry Protoculture Addicts!!! The best anime themed magazine on the market today!! Well-written articles and reviews without all the glitzy hype. It only comes out bi-monthly, but its a great magazine. :D

do u know anywhere around the bay area that sells that magazine

SadisticSolace · August 12, 2004, 06:56:41 PM

i'm not sure where they sale it in the bay Area. I onlyk now where they sale it in Redding CA. They sale it at the local Barns and Noble. I would say that they carry it in yours as well. Also the a gamestore might carry it down there. You have a lot more options.
