FUNime
The FUNime [ faniːmə ] is a fanzine on Japan-oriented topics, especially popular culture , and especially anime and manga . As a fanzine designed by the members of the Anime no Tomodachi association , FUNime has no intention of making a profit and is distributed free of charge to the members of the association. Non-members can subscribe to FUNime or order them individually.
content
FUNime appears approximately every 2 to 3 months with around 50 pages of content. Permanent rubrics are:
- Selection of interesting anime and manga titles to be released in Japan, USA and Europe
- Reviews of Manga and Anime and Japanese Video Games
- Anime convention reports
- Fanart
Depending on availability, articles on art books or soundtracks as well as interviews are also published. The content of the individual issues varies a lot. Although there is a solid base of authors, you can also submit articles yourself at any time. The disadvantage here is the fact that the publication cycle can fluctuate depending on the number of articles.
history
The first FUNime, number 0, was published in October 1997, and has had a colored cover since August 1999 (number 10). Up to and including issue 37, the magazine was distributed to the members of the AnT. Issues 38 to 55 also went to the members of the Animexx association , as Funime was also its association magazine at the time. Since issue 56 (1/2009), the issues are again only distributed free of charge to members of the AnT. The magazine has been published in full color since issue 49.
Since September 2017 the name and logo of FUNime have belonged to Carow Verlag, which is planning new literature projects from the anime, manga and Japanese sectors under the name FUNime.
