Here is a new list that I have been working on.  I am especially
looking to add to the fanzines section as well as correct any

No fan is an island. Anime Fandom thrives on information and most
information can be found through periodicals.  Whether directly from
an Anime magazine from Japan, or from the variety of professional and
fan published magazines done outside Japan, Anime fans have a wide
variety of choices available to them.  This is a short guide to the
magazines currently available. [93.01.21]

Fanzines
--------
Fanzines are fan published newsletters and magazines.  Although their
production values are sometimes not up to the quality of
professionally published magazines, the contents can easily out do the
Big Guys!  Many of these fanzines are available only to members of the
respective Fan Clubs.  (The membership cost is essentially the
subscription rate and are indicated by an asterisk*).

Availability: Most of these fanzines are available solely from the
club/fan club.  A few may be available from anime specialy stores such
as Books Nippan and Nikaku Animart.

Imported Japanese Magazines: 

These can be purchased at better Comic shops, but they will cost a
bundle! (Usually over $10) Your best bets for purchasing these
imported Japanese Animation magazines would be local Japanese
Bookstores or Nikaku Animart.  Most of these magazines come with
posters, and other inserts.  Full color pictures and articles packed
with anime news months before being published in American magazines.
Almost entirely in Japanese though.

Animage- Focuses primarily on Japanese theatrical releases (Best
	   source of Mityazaki news and reviews)
