==International versions== ''Newtype USA'' included both translated Japanese content and original U.S. material. Content included anime, manga, music, game, toy and model reviews, director interviews, artist profiles, and regular columns by industry experts, tastemakers and deep-cover insiders. ''Newtype USA'' also included bonus content, such as posters, postcards, a centerfold spread, serialized manga, and a DVD insert. ''Newtype USA'' was published by [[A.D. Vision]], parent company of the anime distributor [[ADV Films]] and manga publisher [[ADV Manga]], but the magazine still featured content and promotional material from properties distributed by competing publishers. About 70% of the material is translated from the Japanese release, including matching cover and front story, and articles from American writers. Subscriptions on initial release were expected to hit 50,000.<ref name=hb>{{cite web|title=A.D.
