>Most popular mainstream Japanese anime magazine
>Consistently advertises FSS, an ancient manga that modern Otaku don't give a shit about
Why? How would Aniplex and Kadokawa allow a MANGA work that doesn't shill their seasonal anime to have such a prime-time spot?

Are you really so confused about it you felt the need to make a post about it?
Considering Newtype is the #1 anime magazine in Japan, and people here on Sup Forums pay so much attention to its character popularity polls, yeah, it's fucking bizarre. Advertising an obscure old manga over a bunch of other seasonal anime and movies from big corporate backers? The fuck is going on?
I'll give you a hint. The FSS manga is fucking published in Newtype.
It''s not that obscure, at least compared to some other franchises, and it's still ongoing.
Obviously it's what's happening, why bother wondering why? Clearly it just is.
>and people here on Sup Forums pay so much attention to its character popularity polls
You mean take the piss out of, surely.
I know that, but why would a manga, and a non-Otaku one at that, be published in an ANIME magazine?
>It''s not that obscure
Compared to all the other shows in Newtype, it's like an ant
>Obviously it's what's happening, why bother wondering why?
Because it's completely out of character for a huge-ass corporation like Aniplex/Kadokawa. Why waste ad space on something that practically no one cares about in the context of its own magazine?
The point is that it's important enough for people here to pay attention too. Its -the- anime magazine.
It's not "out of character." It's explicitly what's happening. It doesn't matter what you think about it, clearly they either like it enough, or whatever other reasons, to put it on the cover. There's nothing to talk about.
Did Nagano's latest anime ever even had bluray release?
I never watched it
It's a lot more popular in Japan than you'd think, and it's been running for an insanely long time. is celebrating its 30th anniversary, in fact.
Newtype is an anime magazine, yes, but it also runs one or two manga series at any given time just because they can. FSS is a major seller and they're going to promote it as hard as they can whenever it's off hiatus (and even sometimes when it's on hiatus, is literally advertising that it's about to come back, not even back yet). The other manga series right now is Akuma no Riddle.
