MixxZine
''Tokyopop magazine'', originally named ''MixxZine'', was a manga anthology published in North America by Tokyopop. History ''MixxZine'' at the start published five manga series, two of which were shōjo (geared towards young or teenaged girls) and two of which were seinen (geared towards adolescent boys/men): *'' Harlem Beat'' *''Ice Blade'' *''Magic Knight Rayearth'' *''Parasyte'' *'' Sailor Moon'' ''Sailor Moon'' was taken out of the anthology and moved to ''Smile'', as the seinen and shōjo content were hard to reconcile due to the vast difference in audiences, and as Mixx wanted to refocus the magazine towards high school and university/college-aged readers which focused more on shōjo titles. When ''MixxZine'' was renamed Tokyopop in July 1999, the focus changed towards more information on Asian culture, along with manga and articles on J-pop, video games, and anime. The magazine was offered for free, and only a few manga titles were published in the magazine, rotating ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Smile (magazine)
''Smile'' was a magazine aimed at teenage girls. The magazine was started in 1998. At first it was supposed to be a mainstream teen mag similar to ''Seventeen'', but with added manga; later, it became more focused on manga and removed most of its other features. It was published by Tokyopop based in Los Angeles. The magazine was discontinued in 2002. ''Sailor Moon'', ''Peach Girl'', and ''Juline'' were serialized in the magazine. ''Sailor Moon'' was originally serialized in ''MixxZine'' but Mixx moved it to ''Smile'' because Mixx wanted to refocus ''MixxZine'' towards high school and university/college-aged readers. ''Smile'' serialized the SuperS story arc, while earlier story arcs not finished in ''MixxZine'' were finished in individual comic book publications.

Blue Destiny
Blue is one of the three primary colours in the RYB colour model (traditional colour theory), as well as in the RGB (additive) colour model. It lies between violet and cyan on the spectrum of visible light. The eye perceives blue when observing light with a dominant wavelength between approximately 450 and 495 nanometres. Most blues contain a slight mixture of other colours; azure contains some green, while ultramarine contains some violet. The clear daytime sky and the deep sea appear blue because of an optical effect known as Rayleigh scattering. An optical effect called Tyndall effect explains blue eyes. Distant objects appear more blue because of another optical effect called aerial perspective. Blue has been an important colour in art and decoration since ancient times. The semi-precious stone lapis lazuli was used in ancient Egypt for jewellery and ornament and later, in the Renaissance, to make the pigment ultramarine, the most expensive of all pigments.

Magazines Established In 1999
A magazine is a periodical publication, generally published on a regular schedule (often weekly or monthly), containing a variety of content. They are generally financed by advertising, purchase price, prepaid subscriptions, or by a combination of the three. Definition In the technical sense a ''journal'' has continuous pagination throughout a volume. Thus ''Business Week'', which starts each issue anew with page one, is a magazine, but the '' Journal of Business Communication'', which continues the same sequence of pagination throughout the coterminous year, is a journal. Some professional or trade publications are also peer-reviewed, for example the '' Journal of Accountancy''. Non-peer-reviewed academic or professional publications are generally ''professional magazines''. That a publication calls itself a ''journal'' does not make it a journal in the technical sense; ''The Wall Street Journal'' is actually a newspaper. Etymology The word "magazine" derives from Arabic , th ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
