And even Otaku USA is an independent publishing mag (but pretty widely available in my experience- just don’t know that my collections dept will have an easy go of it).

I don’t generally have personal subscriptions to any magazines, but I’ve occasionally bought individual copies of things like Shonen Jump, Shojo Beat, and Anime Insider. The last copy of Anime Insider I bought got me through a few nasty hours at an airport.

It’s looking like the best sources of anime/manga news are all online now… I’ve never seen or read Otaku USA – is this the only print source of anime news left then?

Well, this sucks, majorly! Anime Insider was my second favorite manga magazine – my first being Otaku USA, which my library doesn’t get – and I can’t believe it’s shut down.

I hope Otaku USA is doing alright; after they stopped including DVD w/ their mags, I’ve gotten a little worried.
