NEO Magazine | 196
Time to reveal the results of the NEO Awards 2019, sponsored by Japan Journeys (www.japanjourneys.co.uk)! We've collected all your favourite titles and talent over the past 12 months and distilled it into one handy feature for your reading pleasure!
Looking forward, we've got news on upcoming anime releases in Japanese cinemas - including Hayao Miyazaki's latest work and Makoto Shinkai's follow up from current blockbuster Weathering With You. Shinkai himself speaks to NEO about his body of work, and how his latest film has been received very differently by audiences across the glove. We also have commentary on the latest manga and anime from industry experts, including features on Blade of the Immortal on Amazon Prime, and tennis show Stars Align.
We speak to Korean super star Song Kang-ho about Oscar nominated movie Parasite - find out why it's no surprise this movie has garnished so much critical praise across the globe as he talks inequality, hope and despair, and what makes Korean movies so unique. Also, Emily Valentine takes a trip to Seoul to bring us a city guide that covers everything from tea rooms to skyscrapers.
Get the lowdown on SCANDAL's new magazine, plus gigs, releases and more music news. Hang out with Mahiru Kurumizawa as she explores Asakusa in Tokyo, with some hot tips for places to visit around the shrine! Plus, Our Man in Japan, Mark Guthrie, takes a dip in the hot springs - sharing Japan's love for the onsen (and find out why table tennis is a big part of the draw!).
We go on JoJo's Bizarre Adventure with Andrew Osmond and David West to uncover a crazy world of multigenerational hijinx, as well as give our verdict on a host of new movies and anime launching themselves at the UK in the upcoming weeks. All that plus cosplay from The Witcher, news, release lists, features and more, only in NEO!
