Banned Book Week includes manga, too. Here's Coop Bicknell's discussion with librarians last year about the swath of titles targeted by interest groups.

Postcard style artwork of characters from Umineko with the text 'Welcome to Rokkenjima'. Battler is being annoyed by a seagull as Jessica laughs, in the background Shannon is trying to stop Maria from burying George fully in the sand.

Remember when Crunchyroll tried to make their subtitles significantly worse a year ago? They backtracked on it at the time, but I suspected they were just delaying their plans to shift from Aegisub to OOONA, and sadly, it seems I was right: Crunchyroll is actively pushing OOONA subs to users now.

As far as major battle shonen series from the past decade or so go, I thought it was pretty middle of the road. I've seen better, but I've seen worse.

survivors are also frequently encouraged to "speak out" and "start conversations" in order to "change the world" but we receive nothing but harrassment, suspicion, and hate for doing so. i grieve so often for the girl i was during MeToo who truly believed that things were soon to get better.

survivors of sexual violence are constantly asked to sacrifice our safety and wellbeing on the off chance that people who've committed literal torture might at some point have had a change of heart. when will our safety, wellbeing, dreams, aspirations, futures, or peace of mind matter?

This season has two highly anticipated adaptations: the remake of CLAMP's beloved Magic Knight Rayearth and Kyoko Hikawa's From Far Away, both "isekai" before the term was tied to an entire genre.

On Saturday, we celebrated our 16th anniversary, which is still just... a lot to process. We've been around longer than some anime and manga publishers, and that's kind of wild to think about. But I digress. Our EIC wrote a short piece regarding the big day, which is definitely worth checking out

While I'm unable to predict what will happen tomorrow, let alone ten years from now, I sincerely hope that we'll be able to keep producing Anime Herald as a publication that you enjoy and trust, for as long as I'm able to hold a pen.

For those unfamiliar: Fact or Fiction is a panel/game that I've brought to a number of cons. Basically, I'll pull up a slide with a historical Thing as portrayed by an anime. Lynzee and James will have to guess/explain whether or not they think it's historically accurate I promise it's very fun lol

At some point, people need to engage with FF7's remakes in terms of what they *are* and not because of what they aren't. Meet it where it's at, not what they "didn't do." Those guys swung for the fences with this trilogy, and that's worth more to me than a new coat of paint on a timeless classic.
