YES, I got quoted! YAY!!!!!!!!!!!

[yubsie]

You're a quote within a quote! You're special! :p

clothes/makeup/accessories articles? In an anime magazine? Those had better be articles on where to buy patterns for sailor uniforms, the best brand for fullbody makeup and where to get Utena rings ^_~

[yubsie]

If only. I'm guessing it's one of their "get girls who aren't really into this stuff to pick up our magazine" ideas.

Articles about patterns and such would be MUCH more useful. :p

Actually the preview issue of Shoujo Beat I got was pretty nice. I haven't gotten the full issue yet, but it sounds FAR less crappy in girlymag terms then MIXX/TokyoPop's SMILE anthology.

SMILE's initial year was pretty horrific. Horrible layout, though full colour, and TONS of girl mag article that were very very very vaguely geekery related. And a chapter of Sailor Moon SuperS. I have 2 issues, which thankfully I did not pay for [they later switched it to an all-manga B+W anthology for it's last 2 or 3 years, till it ended with TPop's straight to trade move]

Oh, and one of them has Vitamin C on the cover. Do you remember her? Really cheesy photography too. And pages of ads ads and more ads [though to be fair, MixxZine had ads too, but it was a teeny section, ala Shonen Jumps. Though Shonen Jump's are SJ related, so they don't count as much]

[yubsie]

There's just two pages of fashion articles, thankfully. And horoscopes, which at least have nice pictures. :p The rest of the articles are about Japanese music, an interview with Yuu Watase, an interview with a volleyball player to go with Crimson Hero and articles about Japanese history/culture. Oh, and one about 19th century England for Godchild. :p
