ON SALE NOW! The OTAKU USA mafia invades the 12/19 issue of Japan's venerable TV Game magazine Weekly Famitsu. Our staff contributes lists of their all time favorite anime and games, while I ride point on an introduction to our magazine and general Gaijin Otaku 101.
On a semi-related note: the Jan/Feb 09 issue of OTAKU USA should be shipping soon and some big changes are ahoy. To wit: we are dropping the DVD, ditching the polybag, and lowering the price to $5.99. Subscribers get their remaining issues increased by 50%. Please consult the OTAKU USA FAQ for further clarification. Thank you!
Sorry for the Phantasy Star II spoilarz, Japanese kiddies :(

Oh, a price drop? :D
I've never read Otaku USA before because $10 seemed like way to much to pay for a magazine, but I may check it out now.

Glad to hear it, and this is definitely the right move. Loved the early issues, especially the luminous and demented prose of yourself and the one and only Joey Coco, but as poor as I am, couldn't really continue to risk tenners on the pricey unknown.
