This issue is offering the first part of a feature article on Osamu Tezuka and his work, a 8-page Spotlight (all in color!) on .Hack//SIGN, as well as a great harvest of "Anime Stories": Ai Yori Aoshi, Captain Tsubasa, Chobits, Galaxy Angel, GateKeeper 21, Hikaru no Go, Mahoromatic, and Najica. Of course, it also includes many "Anime World" articles (anecdotes from Yoshiyuki Tomino and the Cowboy Bebop crew, convention reports on Otakon and Anime Expo NY, the Modern Japanese Music Database Part 19, interviews with Hilary Haag, Monica Rial and Kristine Sa), tons of reviews (6 live-action movies, 11 manga, 2 model kits, 1 video game, and 42 anime videos!) and the latest news!
