While looking for things, I found something that I had nearly forgot about but that I'm sure is what was my first contact with random and fan content, NeoTokyo 54 and 72.




NeoTokyo was a Brazilian anime and manga magazine I used to love that ran from 2006 to 2017, I have a bunch of them well kept at my mom's house, but finding two hidden ones at my dad's brought me a lot of memories. It had amazing and variable content and they really know how to bring their public together.

I say it was one of my first contact with fandom because they had a lot of fan content that probably inspired me, they didn't had only reviews but they also had a place for fan art and cosplay, original made short mangas and written novels, fan comments and also little random snipits like, how to draw, japonese lessons and lyrics translation. They also had double posters that I used to collect (even if I didn't know where it was from) that my mom really disliked because of how it looked in my wall.

Apparently, it was discontinued in 2017, not surprising since the anime frenzy of the 2000's had already passed by that point, I still have much to thank them for. Here some random pics so people can check them out, it's all in Portuguese though.
