Anime Connect
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Anime Connect subtitled 'The Official UK Anime Club Magazine', is a 32-page (supposedly) quarterly UK anime magazine, provided by distributor MVM as part of its UK Anime Club which launched in April, 2002.[1] The magazine has constantly suffered problems with printing, meaning that the "quarterly" magazine has never had more than three issues released in a year. The covers to the first three issues were provided by illustrator Laura Watton, which were reproduced as a T-Shirt that was offered as a prize in the second issue.
The content is provided by the club members, with some opting to be credited with their messageboard names. The magazine also covers manga and will also on occasion feature fan art and run features on relevant items such as cosplay and J-pop.
With its eighth issue, a redesign saw the magazine drop the subtitle and become 'Anime Connect Volume II' - though the issue numbering continued on from "volume I". #10 was the last for original editor Ross Liversidge and sub editor (since #3) Gemma Cox. New editor "DarkDesigns" and sub editor "fennec" took over with the following issue. Technical problems meant the website (featuring additional reviews and articles) was rarely updated until "DarkDesigns" and "fennec" took over.
