Say farewell to yet another anime magazine, after issue 67 Anime Insider will be no more. Turns out that it was a good thing (although not a planned one) that I hadn't renewd my subscription to the magazine just yet. Guess that means I'll be picking up the last issue at the newstands though.
That leaves Otaku USA and Protoculture as the only US anime magazines hopefully they will stick around for a little longer. I guess that also means I can now subscribe to Otaku USA without feeling guilty about dumping Anime Insider. As to why Wizard actually cancelled Anime Insider without any notice is something only Wizard nows and we are left to speculate about. Was it due to the economy was it due to the readership (it would be interesting to see the readership numbers or was it just Wizard being a bunch of Dbags. We'll never know probably. However, here is a article about all of it here from one of the former editors of Anime Insider.
