Finally NEO also contains interviews with people involved with Asian entertainment in some way, for example actors like Jackie Chan, or bands like The Pillows and others. Although it covers a wide spectrum of Asian culture, it prioritises the 'Japanese Anime' industry as its main focus. It predominantly aims to fuel the growth of an expanding niche.
NEO magazine has also showed interest in the anime and manga fan community with its reader art sections anime and manga cosplay photo gallery, letters and feedback and online forum.
