Many of the collected columns were originally published in the now-cancelled NewType USA, and as anime-enthusiast magazines find themselves battered by a shrinking base of advertisers and harsh economic conditions, Clements work stands as an effective testament to the value of print commentary in anime. Like Fresh Pulp: Dispatches from the Japanese Pop Culture Front (1997-1999), from Viz's departed mature audience Pulp anthology or Fred Patten's Watching Anime, Reading Manga: 25 Years of Essays and Reviews, Clements' Schoolgirl Milky Crisis is largely a collection of essay and columns. While the internet is steeped in people writing about anime, some of whom are quite intelligent and knowledgeable, you generally find the legitimate experts working in the ailing world of print. Jonathan Clements is one of the rare commentators who writes for the English speaking anime enthusiast without resorting to supposition.
