Anime News Network mentions (5)

• Anime that nobody knows

  Anyway, I highly recommend the encyclopedia on animenewsnetwork.com, the physical Anime Encyclopedia book, or Kenny Lauderdale on YouTube if you want to travel back in time and dig deeply. Source: about 1 year ago

• Is there any news on an official western release?

  No, not yet. Don't forget that this series started THIS year, so probably it'll get released next year or two years later. It's best if you visit animenewsnetwork.com daily to see any updates as they usually have exclusive scoops about Kodansha related news (like them about to release the English version of whatever series in any format).

• Japanese dub only available via Digital Copy??

  Funimation has this happen for several shows. Basically, Crunchyroll ends up streaming the Japanese version, while Funimation streams the English dub only. It all comes down to licensing issues and who holds the actual license and then sub-licenses it out to other streaming services. Same thing has happened to Dr. Stone, Golden Kamuy, Quintessential Quintuplets, and many more. A useful website I use is... Source: about 2 years ago

• best anime-info site for each country

  If you're talking about sites for anime info, there's animenewsnetwork.com. Source: over 2 years ago

• someanithing.com (a site for viewing the bluray sales for anime series) is down, do you know of an alternative?

  Today I noticed that someanithing.com is down, which is pretty sad, because that site was awesome for checking which anime series had how many bluray sales, not only per week (animenewsnetwork.com has that information too), but also for all time. Source: over 2 years ago

Anime-Planet mentions (14)

• I was in the middle of reading a villainess manga(manhua/manhwa?) a few days ago and forgot to save the bookmark.

  And, as a last ditch attempt, try going to anime-planet.com -> Manga -> Browse All Manga -> Tags -> more tags -> Otome Game and there'll be a whole list of possible matches. Source: 10 months ago

• Is there a website or data source that more strictly categorizes anime and manga?

  There's a limited amount of data sources, but another one is anime-planet.com, which has tags for all anime. They used to be fairly basic, but over the years the tags got more specific and more numerous, so that's where I go when I want to look up an anime. Source: over 1 year ago

• Alternative for wcostream ?

  Anime-planet.com doesnt have all anime and is only subbed but is high quality. Source: over 1 year ago

• I have no idea what this genre of character is called (if it even is one) but I love shows with main characters of this type and want more of them.

  It might be worth looking the characters up on anidb.net or anime-planet.com and checking their tags, and then looking up other characters who have those tags. Source: over 1 year ago

• yuri (ofc)

  Well as for sites I use bato.to, mangadex.org and mangaupdates.com. I occasionally use anime-planet.com as well. Source: almost 2 years ago
