Yes, so it's not the freshest mag on the shelf, but Damn, it's a good one.
The Total Anime magazine is a bi-annually produced magazine, from Australia, by Derwent Howard publishing, and it's jam packed with quality content, and tonnes of pics. In the spotlight is Death Note (the immensely popular dark anime cult film), Afro Samurai (starring Samuel Jackson) among others.
