Otaku USA is a bimonthly magazine, published by Sovereign Media, which covers various elements of the "otaku" lifestyle (such as anime, manga, video games, cosplay and Japanese popular music) from an American perspective. The issues were accompanied by a DVD featuring three anime episodes but as of 2009 the DVD feature was dropped and the double sided poster feature of the Magazine was also dropped starting with the February 2010 issue. Otaku USA began publication in August 2007.^[1] The current editor-in-chief of the magazine (who has held the position since the first issue) is respected Japanese pop culture expert Patrick Macias.^[2] After the shutdown of NewType USA in February 2008, Anime Insider in March 2009, and the discontinuation of Protoculture Addicts since August 2008, Otaku USA is the only remaining anime news magazine published for the North American market.
