Lots of colorful pictures, little productive content

Although there are now several other magazines that deal with manga and anime, the veteran AnimaniA would probably have the largest readership, with a circulation of 30,000 copies.
Clean from the outside there is nothing to complain about in the magazine: paper and print quality are top notch, the page number is not too tight and all items are plentiful illustrated. Nice is also that there are extras such as posters, postcards or CD-ROMs to.
As a self-proclaimed journal the AnimaniA should not only appealing offer for the eye, but also guidance and counseling in the often impenetrable translucent manga and anime jungle. And precisely in this task it fails unfortunately so regularly (and often so disastrous) as Team Rocket while trying to capture Pikachu. In short, the level of product varies between "moderate" and "shallow and meaningless". Longer reviews are limited largely to detailed summaries of relevant anime or manga and therefore offer nothing that one can not be found on hundreds of websites.
In addition, the editors confuse apparent "objectivity" with "no opinion have" so that even concoctions in which a look at the cover and overflying the Synopsis suffice it worst than brazen commercialism copy better predecessor, candied Shojo Kitsch unmask variety or the umpteenth variant großbusiger otaku fantasies, be considered with some friendly words and waved through.
Why is it anyway? Did the editors fear angry letters to the editor any fanatical fans? Or they believe that one principle not allowed to express their views critical of his own hobby as manga and anime fan?
What always like it are also, unfortunately, it makes the AnimaniA boring. And on the other hand also all the beautiful colorful images help nothing.
