I randomly found this site, and I'm loving the podcasts. As a suggestion, how about talking about the "gender-bending" genre (crossdressing, à la Ouran, Power!!, Princess Princess and when a character physically changes into a girl like in Kashimashi, Ranma or Pretty Face), and why it appeals to people? Also, I wonder how mainstream is anime and manga in the US? It's pretty much a geeky internet thing over here (Norway). Hei! I randomly found this site, and I’m loving the podcasts.

Like, playing go after watching Hikaru no Go, developing a sudden urge to bake bread watching Yakitate Japan or reading Hyperion after Yuki described it as "unique" in Haruhi?

Generally, Newtype USA comes with the DVD and a centerfold pull-out. Thats typically about it - given that Newtype Japan doesn't always ship with a bonus item of some sort, its technically a one-up on the Japanese release. I think there has been a couple of other items in past issues of NUSA (like larger posters), but they aren't particularly frequent. The actual magazine content is split between content sourced from the Japanese magazine and new content for the US release. The series specific spreads towards the front of the magazine use artwork sourced from the Japanese magazine, but its rare (if ever) its at the same time as it appears in the Japanese version. Not all content from the Japanese version will make the US release, and there is no obvious schedule to it - we might get art from over a year ago if a show gets suddenly licensed, but at the same time they've recently done spreads on unlicensed shows as well. Its a bit of a crapshoot really. I don’t think its that interesting a question for the actual podcast, so I’ll just answer it here (well, as long as Hung doesn’t mind :P ).

The whole issue with all anime being considered hentai doesn't really seem to be a problem in Toronto, maybe its more apparent in other parts of Canada. Hmm some questions... Do you really have to have your whole room stacked with anime goods to be a real anime fan? What are some good places to import anime products from Japan on the internet? Random question... Just why do Japanese voice actors sound so much better than english ones (its the truth lol they seriously do)? Are you guys going to ever have four hosts… that might be interesting.

Maybe it's just because I live in California. Do people elsewhere really shun you for being an anime fan? Around here, I see people walking around wearing anime shirts all the time (Mostly DBZ). The manga section at our local Borders has like 2 rows of manga and a dedicated anime DVD section, plus there are always like 3~10 kids sitting on the floor reading manga. Hell, check out this license frame I took a pic of. http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e61/alexl55/P1010037.jpg Maybe it's because of the larger asian community in LA. Also another thing is what ethnicity/background are your real life anime-watching friends. I tend to find that white friends watch more anime than my more asian friends (I know I'm generalizing alot). Particularly my japanese friends. I think they see anime as a big misrepresentation of their culture. Or maybe it's because otakus are kinda shunned in Japan (LOL Densha Otoko) and they carried that mentality to the US. Despite "hating" anime, alot of my japanese friends do read manga. It seems "One Piece" is their favorite. I would like to know your experiences with native japanese friends.

You can never go wrong with British accents and Hinano is back! But too bad jpmeyer wasn't there. This applies to manga and serialized manga like Ribon or Shoujo Beat when they have chapters from different manga serials. Would you choose manga serials or the manga compilation? Okay, which country do you think would have the best dubbed animes? Because most of the time, American dubbed anime have less of the chaotic anime voice and their tones are lower. Do you think American Companies have become more liberal when they licensed mangas and made it more PG-13? Confusing but I mean, for example, in Sailor Moon, they made Haruka and Michiru cousins instead of lesbian lovers. Has it changed since then? Don't have to answer if it's confusing. Okay and last question. Do you think the reason manga girls have large breasts and multi colored hair because mangakas like women that vary from the average Japanese woman? Thanks and keep up the great work! This is my favorite podcast. You can never go wrong with British accents and Hinano is back! But too bad jpmeyer wasn’t there.
