NEO Magazine  |  Issue 229
This issue we get spirited away with Over the Sky and ponder anime's obsession with other worlds, and how that manifests in manga and anime. We also celebrate the theatrical release of Suzume with an interview with director Makoto Shinkai, who discusses the legacy of natural disasters in Japan, aging, and teenage protagonists. The finale of Attack on Titan is in sight so Andrew Osmond delves into the ending of things to ponder audience expectations, and the struggle of creators to deliver. There are plenty of reviews this issue too, as we tackle big box office names like John Wick: Chapter 4 and The Super Mario Bros. Movie, along with the second season of Arifureta, Looking for Magical Doremi, and Free! The Final Stroke. All that, plus a travel guide from our man in Japan, a focus on new streaming shows Trigun Stampede and Kaina of the Great Snow Sea, and more!
