Well I picked up January's Newtype today.  The cover cover is of Alphonse
with an attack helicopter in the background.  There was an "Animationary" 
and a calendar in it.  The calendar has art from a number of people (some 
CLAMP stuff included).

The second Patlabor movie [Silent Field(?)] has place of pride with six
pages devoted to it.  I wish I could read this but it seems that the next
movie will have a conflict with military.  There is a large double page
spread of tanks and attack helicopters...  There is a picture of an Ingram
having some work done on it.  Are the lights removable? 'cause if they are
not then someone stuffed up the drawing :-)

Irresponsible Captain Tyler gets the next two pages, The OAV that is out
mid-December is 40 minutes long.  Is this an intro to the TV series?

Ah! My Goddess! is on the next two pages, more art from the OAV. Looks
good.  The present schedule for the OAVs (and tenetive titles) are:

  OAV 1: Moonlight and Cherry Blossoms 93.2.21
  OAV 2: Midsummer Night's Dream       93.4.21
  OAV 3: Brown Suger and Apple Pie     93.6.21
  OAV 4: Ever Green Holly Night        93.7.21

Before people corect me on the spelling of the above, that's how they spelt
it... [holly or holy???]

On the next two pages is on something they call the Elementalors(?).  If I
have got the title translated properly its something like "Soul Messenger"...
I know what the symbols for TV show, OAV, movie are in Newtype but for this
one they use "PCM"  What do they mean by PCM???  Obviously not Pulse Coded
Modulation....

Skipping bits I haven't time to work out what they are... selecting bits
that interest me...

A Gundam special including time line and info on NExt Gundam '93...

Shots from the new Godzilla movie (yay!) and the model section has a RC
Godzilla!!

Silent Mobius the Motion Picture 2 is to be released 93.1.14 and Weathering 
Continent on 92.12.16

TOHO seem to be very busy at the moment... a six disc laserdisc box set of
the Lupin movies!!  The "Theatre Box" is to released 1993.4.1 for 36,000yen

Bastard boardgame [similar to the Games Workshop "Dungeon Quest"] with four
figures... looks like Japan may yet get the 25mm bug.  I hope so as I want 
anime figures in 25mm especially as Steve Jackson's Hotmetal rules are due 
out soon.

The centre "pullout" is of Sailor Moon [you didn't think Newtype had
forgotten to put anything about them in, did you? :-)]  It's a Yes/No type
boardgame(?).  There is also an art gallery of SM and that drawing of all
of the girls including Sailor Venus surounding a trashed Sailor Mercury,
Honest! I'm not making this up!

The offical art section is on Tekkaman Blade which also has the TV episodes
being released on video and LD soon.

The How to Art section is on someone from CLAMP, which reminds me I also
picked up X volume 2 (CLAMP) today so I'm now going to "read" it.

finishing off
this was/is/will be
