Editing Newtype (section)

==Content==
===Columns===
''Newtype'' runs several columns per month, typically written by creators within the anime and manga industries. Past and current contributors include [[Satsuki Igarashi]] (of [[Clamp (manga artists)|Clamp]]), [[Mahiro Maeda]], and [[Gilles Poitras]]. ''Newtype USA'' included columns from more history-minded writers (such as [[Jonathan Clements]]) as well as individuals involved in the US anime industry (such as [[Monica Rial]]).

===Manga===
''Newtype'' usually contains a center insert with regularly serialized manga (often to be later published in {{Transliteration|ja|[[tankōbon]]}} form by Kadokawa). The magazine is perhaps best known in Japan for serializing [[Mamoru Nagano]]'s ''[[The Five Star Stories]]''.

Manga serialized in ''Newtype USA'' varied due to licensing reasons. They had included ''[[Full Metal Panic!]]'', ''[[Angel/Dust]]'', ''[[Chrono Crusade]]'', ''[[Lagoon Engine Einsatz]]'', ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion: Angelic Days]]'', ''[[Angel/Dust Neo]]'', and ''[[Kobato]]'', only several of which actually appeared in the Japanese ''Newtype''.

===Fiction===
Light novels have also been serialized within the Japanese version of the magazine in the past: these have included "For the Barrel" (an abstract adaptation of the ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam]]'' novel trilogy); a novelization of ''[[Overman King Gainer]]'' (accompanied by illustrations from the show's character designer, [[Kinu Nishimura]]); and the [[Yoshiyuki Tomino]] story "[[Gaia Gear]]", set in the far future of ''Gundam''{{'}}s [[Universal Century]] timeline.

===Television schedule===
A large insert within the magazine usually contains a television schedule for [[anime]] and {{Transliteration|ja|[[tokusatsu]]}} programs set to run on various Japanese networks throughout the coming month, accompanied by synopses for each aired episode and network ratings for each show from the previous month.

===Art-related material===
''Newtype'' contains a tip column for working with [[computer graphics]] in [[manga]]-style illustration, written by a different guest illustrator (or group of illustrators, in some cases) each month. The column generally centers around working with [[Adobe Photoshop]] and [[Corel Painter]].

In the Japanese version (and in the early months of the American version), the last page of ''Newtype'' is usually reserved for one of a series of art pieces or illustrations (accompanied by comment or short column) from a known anime illustrator. Perhaps the best known of these is the "GUNDAM FIX" illustration series by [[Hajime Katoki]], which placed [[mecha]] from the ''[[Gundam]]'' franchise within real-world photographic contexts. Other illustrators who have contributed to this back page in the past include [[Yoshikazu Yasuhiko]] (who ran a series of illustrations devoted to ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam: The Origin]]'') and [[Hisashi Hirai]] (who ran a series devoted to his designs for ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam SEED]]'', titled "Gundam SEED RGB").
