New Confirmation of English Newtype Magazine

A representative of AD Vision has confirmed for AnimeNation that the premier issue of the long delayed English language version of Newtype Magazine will debut at next month’s Anime Expo convention in Long Beach California. AD Vision will be the official American distributor of the new monthly magazine, and will have a limited edition of 20,000 copies of a special premier issue available for sale only at Anime Expo. The first regular monthly issue will be available through normal retail channels tentatively in August.

Details are still slim, but AD Vision has confirmed that the American version of Newtype will cover both Japanese and American anime fandom and will be printed in the same “back-to-front” Japanese format as the veteran Japanese version of the monthly anime magazine.
