Neon Genesis Evangelion

ADV Films.com: "HOUSTON, July 21, 2005 August might signal the end of summer, but it's a time of new beginnings in Newtype USA, the premier anime magazine in the English-speaking world! The hotly anticipated Neon Genesis Evangelion: Angelic Days begins its run as the exclusive manga insert, marking its English-language debut. Based on a popular PC and PlayStation 2 game released only in Japan, Angelic Days takes the angst-ridden Eva pilots and sets them in a lighter, brighter world, where choosing the right girlfriend is more important than saving Earth from unimaginable threats.
Along with the new manga comes a sexy double-sided centerfold poster featuring favorite characters from the smash-hit anime Samurai Gun. But the most exciting extra is the free DVD, packed with three full episodes of the hottest shows, including a first look at Samurai 7, GONZO's far-future retelling of Akira Kurosawa's renowned film, along with beloved classic Gatchaman and historic adventure Otogi Zoshi.
And those are just the bonuses! The issue itself is packed with features on all the latest shows, including six pages on Fullmetal Alchemist, with a look back at what's happened so far and a look ahead at what's to come. Other must-read features include a creator profile of Makoto Shinkai, the visionary behind the critically acclaimed The Place Promised in Our Early Days; and a sneak peek at Blood+, the thrilling new series from Production I.G.

Looks like the folks at ADV are cranking it up for the fall season!!
