What does /a/ think of english-language anime magazines such as anime insider, Otaku U.S.A, and the now out of print Newtype-USA? I've always found them to be utterly useless as a source of information, even when I was still a newfag back in the late 90s. They just seem to be one long marketing gimmick developed by US anime distributors to promote their titles.
