June 2013
Each issue of Otaku USA is loaded with reviews, features and interviews, but there's still a lot of great content that we can't fit in the print edition. That's where our website comes in, and as each issue debuts, you can find all the bonus articles right here. If you don't have the current issue, be sure to check it out at your favorite newsstand!

 On The Shelf – May 22, 2013By Lissa Pattillo Pickings are a bit small this week but as always it’s a matter of quality over quantity! And there are some real knock-outs if the content floats your boat. The release dates on this first book have been a bit iffy retailer to retailer, but with its official premiere happening at last week’s Toronto Comics Art Fest, I’m going to say it’s safe to say this book is now available to all!...

 Mamoru Hosoda Exclusive InterviewBy Brian Camp Last week, we brought you a transcript of Mamoru Hosoda's public Q&A session on Wolf Children at the New York International Children's Film Festival. We were also able to get some one-on-one time with the famous anime director to discuss things in further detail. Q: How do you get an animated feature like this made these days— something that’s totally original and not based on a ...

 A Memorable Stay at the Occult AcademyBy Joseph Luster In the latest issue of Otaku USA magazine, we bust out a feature on the mega-popular Sword Art Online , based on the light novels by Reki Kawahara. While Kawahara is no doubt a hot topic when it comes to SAO , the anime adaptation is also something director Tomohiko Ito has come to be known for. That's fine and dandy, but let's not forget Ito and studio A-1 Pictures' 2010 show, Occul...

 Naruto Powerful ShippudenBy Joseph Luster I'm so torn on Namco Bandai's Naruto Powerful Shippuden , which brings the super-deformed style of Naruto spin-off anime Rock Lee & His Ninja Pals to Nintendo 3DS. On one hand, it's a great-looking game with crystal clear 2D art and backgrounds that don't throw the 3D gimmick at your face (literally). It's visually subtle and the SD art works great for a side-scroller, but the wh... |
 The Vault of Error: Hyper Dollby Paul Thomas Chapman A tsunami of recent nostalgia releases is wreaking havoc with my Vault of Error. I planned to review Demon City Shinjuku , but that title is once again readily available courtesy of Discotek Media. I considered examining Dominion: Tank Police and Black Magic M-66 , but Section23 has rescued the licenses for both of those. Every month it seems another relic from the early days of Amer... |
