Newtype (ニュータイプ, Nyūtaipu) is a monthly magazine originating from Japan covering anime and, to a lesser extent, manga, seiyū, science fiction, tokusatsu, and video games.
Past and current contributors include Satsuki Igarashi (of Clamp), Mahiro Maeda, and Gilles Poitras.
Newtype USA included columns from more history-minded writers (such as Jonathan Clements) as well as individuals involved in the US anime industry (such as Monica Rial).
They had included Full Metal Panic!, Angel/Dust, Chrono Crusade, Lagoon Engine Einsatz, Neon Genesis Evangelion: Angelic Days, the Aoi House 4-koma, Angel/Dust Neo, and Kobato.
Content included 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 included bonus content, such as posters, postcards, a centerfold spread, serialized manga, and a DVD insert.
About 70% of the material is translated from the Japanese release, including matching cover and front story, and articles from American writers.
