I'm an Animerica reader. I gave Newtype a shot, but it just didn't really have too much too offer. Some of the articles were okay, but there was no creativity in the writing, the guys at Animerica have a massive sense of humor. One thing that turned me off about Newtype especially was the reviews section. The impression I got was that the review staff gives great reviews to everything, even the titles that suck. I'm going with quality over quantity on this one.

There's a reason for that, NewtypeUSA is done by ADV and they mainly review ADV anime, of course they're going to give glowing reviews. Animerica seems to be a bit better about that even though they're done by Viz
