Newtype
Newtype (Japanese: ニュータイプ, Hepburn: Nyūtaipu) is a monthly magazine originating from Japan covering anime and, to a lesser extent, manga, voice actors, science fiction, tokusatsu, and video games. It was launched by publishing company Kadokawa Shoten on March 8, 1985, and has since been released in Japan on the 10th of every month.
Newtype Korea was formerly published in South Korea. Spin-off publications of Newtype also exist in Japan, such as Newtype Hero and Newtype the Live, which are dedicated to tokusatsu and NewWORDS, which is geared toward a more adult market, as well as numerous limited-run versions such as Clamp Newtype. An English language version, Newtype USA, was published in North America between 2002 and 2008.
The magazine's name comes from the "Newtypes" in the Universal Century timeline of the Gundam series, specifically Mobile Suit Gundam (1979) and its sequel Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam (1985). Newtype launched a week after Zeta Gundam began airing on March 2, 1985.
Newtype runs several columns per month, typically written by creators within the anime and manga industries. 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).
Newtype usually contains a center insert with regularly serialized manga (often to be later published in tankōbon form by Kadokawa). The magazine is perhaps best known in Japan for serializing Mamoru Nagano's The Five Star Stories.
Manga serialized in Newtype USA varied due to licensing reasons. They had included Full Metal Panic!, Angel/Dust, Chrono Crusade, Lagoon Engine Einsatz, Neon Genesis Evangelion: Angelic Days, Angel/Dust Neo, and Kobato, only several of which actually appeared in the Japanese Newtype.
Light novels have also been serialized within the Japanese version of the magazine in the past: these have included "For the Barrel" (an abstract adaptation of the Mobile Suit Gundam novel trilogy); a novelization of Overman King Gainer (accompanied by illustrations from the show's character designer, Kinu Nishimura); and the Yoshiyuki Tomino story "Gaia Gear", set in the far future of Gundam's Universal Century timeline.
A large insert within the magazine usually contains a television schedule for anime and tokusatsu programs set to run on various Japanese networks throughout the coming month, accompanied by synopses for each aired episode and network ratings for each show from the previous month.
