Agreed - tons of cool Japanese magazines out there!

I have an issue of a magazine which seems promising:

Issue 5, 2007 of Animation Note


This issue focuses on anime backgrounds, and also features a (not overly elaborate) step-by-step look at the BG creation process. Still, quite interesting. There seems to be even more interesting issues out there (like this, but this is the only one I have at the moment :mrgreen:
CHECKPOINT!
There is a perverted Japanese businessman in every Swiss PCE fan.

The Japanese did print proud!

That's an awesome link. I have to be careful or I'll end up being a hoarder with all these :D

I recently found out that there is a "Gameside" series all about 2D action games. My brain just about melted. I so need to learn how to read this language!!!!
