INSiGHT: NEO Magazine: Issue 182 (Review)

For the penultimate month of 2018, NEO Magazine, Issue 182 takes a look at the films due to grace TV screens this winter, from the spectacle of Fireworks to the movie debut of My Hero Academia with Two Heroes. Also within this issue are six UK residents that have fully embraced the 'Kawaii' Japanese way of life, and a look at the new Zatoichi: The Blind Swordsman film bundle, direct from the Criterion Collection.

Rural Japan is in the spotlight this month, as a feature article takes a look at young Japanese City residents that are returning to the countryside ways of life. An interview with Hikari Green explores her dedication to cosplay culture and her worldwide popularity in the field. Artistry explored in issue 182 include a Manga Snapshot for the racy Mini Sugar books, and an Extract for the familiar yet cliché-dodging Apricot Cookie(s) by Louis Lloyd-Judson.

Reviews for this issue include the harem-satisfying In Another World With My Smartphone, The Night Comes For Us, which reunites key players from The Raid films, and seasonal updates for Granblue Fantasy and Higurashi. A look into the fighting sensation SoulCalibur VI and the first adaptation for My Hero Academia with My Hero One's Justice headline the cherry-picked videogame selection for November.
