I never really liked Anime Insider that much, however it's still sad to see it go. It's unfortunate that all these magazines keep ending publication. Kind of scary actually. =

This is very saddening.

D:

wow. how depressing. my library actually was getting that for the last year or so, and they were a fun read.........no wonder the pirates are gaining new members all the time. T~T

Hm, no wonder I couldn't find it in FYE when i went there last weekend. I never bought it, but I liked to sit there and read through it. One of my favorite bits was their Hollywood casting if various animes were made into movies, even though I pretty much always disagreed with their choices.

I have been a member for years and years. I used AI for everything, from the music to news, monthly releases and all the great stuff, plus the "j-life", japan 101, the very interesting "parting shots" and everything that made this magazine attractive. I will certainly miss Anime Insider.

Damn! This was the only anime magazine I liked to! Dude,this economy is doin bad. I even heard the U.S. Post Office is gonna run outta money by the end of the year and have to shut down if Obama don't give them money. I hope he can help us out..Everyone's goin down the toilet this year so far.......-.-"

AWWW I JUST BOUGHT AN ISSUE LIKE A WEEK AGO AND I LOVED IT!! T-T

i can't believe it, thats the only magazine the local news agencies sell. its hard enough to get anime magazines when you live in the middle of no where and now it's turned impossible

personally for that particular magazine, I'm not that disappointed, I didn't like AI, they were very often poorly edited, and sometimes their information was completely wrong - I mean come on, when they did a section on Zatch Bell, they called the main chara, Kiyo, Cory!

also, I have an issue of theirs that was actually missing a page - not ripped out or anything, just completely gone, like it was stapled and made that way in a manufacturing error or something.

however, I am sad to see it go for the fact that it was an anime mag, they do seem to be dying out. the one I REALLY miss is NewType, that was a tragedy for me when they went out.

That totally sucks! I loved that magazine. It gave good information, occassionally did Jrock interviews, and let me know when new anime was coming out. They can't go!

I have so many of those Anime Insider Magazines, and when i couldnt find this months issue at work a few days ago, I knew something was wrong. It's pretty sad that such a quality publication has been terminated so quickly. Ive seen the termination of a Shonen Jump type manga called Raijin Comics, The Newtype USA magazines, and now Anime Insider. I havent seen any issues of Otaku USA at work in a while, so i really believe they may have possibly ceased publication as well. When i post tommorrow on ym world, im going to post pics of all my anime magazines, especially the ones that have ended their run. what is pretty sad is that i work at Wal Mart, one of the biggest distributors of everything, and now ive noticed that there are no more anime magazines to choose from, besides books like shonen Jump and other manga type issues. Ill have to see what other info i can find out through magazine distributors at work and relay that to you guys in the future. In the meantime, it seems as though i own another stack of obsolete magazines that stood the test of time. Thanks again Anime Insider

That's horrible!! O_O I have about 30 some odd volumes!! TToTT
