Newtype USA included both translated Japanese content and original U.S. material. Content included anime, manga, music, game, toy and model reviews, director interviews, artist profiles, and regular columns by industry experts, tastemakers and deep-cover insiders. Newtype USA also included bonus content, such as posters, postcards, a centerfold spread, serialized manga, and a DVD insert. Newtype USA was published by A.D. Vision, parent company of the anime distributor ADV Films and manga publisher ADV Manga, but the magazine still featured content and promotional material from properties distributed by competing publishers. The first Newtype USA issue was published in November, 2002.
Newtype USA ended publication in 2008 after the February 2008 issue was published - it was soon replaced with another magazine, PiQ; however, that magazine ceased after four issues.
Newtype Korea is published by Daiwon C.I., and its first issue was released in July 1999. It includes translated Japanese content, with added emphasis on domestic Korean animation projects.
