While flipping through some of my older issues of Newtype USA recently, I found a feature story on Bee Train within the March 2005 issue. Written by Amos Wong, the story was well-timed as the first DVD volume of Madlax was to come out in America soon after on April 12th of that year. I enjoyed reading the feature when I originally bought the magazine and again when re-reading for this episode because it gave me a look into the origin and development methods of the studio that was deeper than I had obtained through the inserts packaged with Noir DVD’s.

Last episode I asked listeners to give PiQ a chance if they liked what they heard, but alas I cannot do the same for Newtype USA as it has evolved into PiQ (which is unfortunately folding with July’s issue as its last) and is only available through back issues. Many, but not all, of its writers went over to the new publication in the changeover. If you’re interested in buying almost half-price back issues, Right Stuf seems to have a bunch of them in stock including the issue I read from in this episode.

I heard the anime was really good, so I should watch it soon. And I’ve never brought a NewType Mag cos it costs too much! XD I always read it at Borders instead.
