### 5/5 — Great way to keep up on everything Otaku

*2021-12-01*

I love this mag. All the anime, manga, gaming, and cosplay news is perfectly distributed. I am always happy when a new issue is out and it’s great to go back and re-visit old ones. Otaku USA is one of my favorite mags out there and the app is everything you get in an issue. Great stuff.

### 5/5 — Nice app great content

*2021-01-06*

The app is serviceable and I love the backlog is able to be dipped into.

### 5/5 — Love it just slight problem

*2020-12-23*

The manga samples are not in page order which is kinda annoying but still able to figure it out

### 5/5 — They are the only ones still going and I’ll be here till they don’t!

*2020-06-30*

Good stuff nostalgic

### 4/5 — iTunes payment

*2018-06-12*

Can you please make it where when it renews the auto payment Instead of just taking from credit carts it can also take money that you have in the Apple Store / iTunes Store

### 2/5 — Nice to have but poor service

*2017-02-22*

I enjoy having the magazine, but issues appear and disappear on occasion and you don't get certain issues at all. Also, you get the issue weeks after it appears on newsstands and sometimes those don't appear on the app as well.

### 5/5 — MY GOSH YESSSS❤️😍

*2016-05-03*

I love otaku USA so much! I have a hard copy subscription along with the e-magazine one. If you love anime- this is legit the magazine for you. I cried when I saw diabolik lovers on the front of the June issue! This is the best Magazine I have ever been subscribed to. It's totally worth it!

### 5/5 — A must for any Anime & Manga fan!

*2015-09-19*

I've been reading this magazine for several years. Great articles from fantastic writers. If you want to know what's good (or not as good) in the industry, this is a great resource!

### 4/5 — A must have for Anime fans!

*2015-09-19*

I have a one year subscription to this digital magazine and it's awesome imo but you do have to pay for the extra issues like Anime USA and Cosplay USA. Just saying, if you want to experience anime and manga, just make a subscription from iTunes

### 4/5 — This is great

*2015-09-18*

I enjoy this magazine's content and that since I get it on my phone now I can watch trailers for new shows and one free show with each issue. This company is really good about their fans as well. All in all it is a worthwhile purchase for the subscription fee. Thank you guys!
