Just looked at this and let's say there's a few surprises.

A free virtual biscuit to anyone who guesses the number 1 without looking. It's not one you'd think of, at least not as the number 1.

I haven't read any more of the magazine yet but maybe discuss it here f you're inclined to.

I'll guess .... Sgt.frog if the list is upcoming titles and
Eureka 7 if it's titles that are already being released, I'm picking both of those because I invariable disagree with the #1's in these countdowns which would be the case if it were either of those.

I forgot this was out today, I'll have to mip into town tomorow / friday and find me one.

Nope, no biscuit for you Sad

First impressions of the magazine are pretty good.

It's very Ghibli centric, which appeals to me, and is sort of 5 Neo anime sections stuck together with features such as guides to anime terminology and how to draw anime etc.

Not many adverts, at £5.99, I'd hope not and the only thing I dislike so far is the space wasted on a 17 page World Of Warcraft manga. I kid you not.

Overall I think it's not bad for the money.

Oh good lord anime mags have got to stop doing that, If I wanna read a manga I'll bloody by the graphic novel, couldn't they make it £4.99 and loose the 17 pages.
Sorry manga excerpts in these kind of mags really bug me.

Why is that bad thing? Is just because its "only" a WoW manga, or because its a manga full stop?

Didn't say it was a bad thing just something I disliked which is a personal opinion. It's badly drawn and, imo, out of place in an anime magazine.

Yeah the WOW manga doesn't exactly fit the classic manga art style and it doesn't make me rush to buy SFX, it's a shame their main readership will be suckered in by the manga, i guess that's 14-20+ boys? besides the world of warcraft manga is in my local library, why can't they feature manga that isn't over a year old! They should be featuring something new that's out this december like kashimashi or mail *whine*.

I'll try and hunt down a copy of this after my lectures today, it's what my student loan's for after all... ^_^

I got mine from Smiths but they only had around 10 copies on the rack.

No idea if they had more in the back.

I got this magazine recently myself from WH Smith and I was really suprised by some of the entries on their top 25.

I wouldn't of thought that My neighbour Totaro would have been number 1 either. I agree with Akira and ghost in the shell the stand alone complex being second and third respectively. Smile

Heh but you don't get the biscuit as you looked.

Maybe my avatar was a clue.

Watched it again over the Xmas holidays and really enjoyed it. Harmless feelgood family entertainment. Has to be a good thing.
