When anime first hit American airwaves in the 1960s, the Japanese art form introduced audiences to worlds and characters yet to be imagined in the works of creative fiction conceived in the west.

2021-04-29 03:06:00 +0000 UTC View PostGood evening, everybody. Next week, Anime Herald begins the year anew with a renewed commitment you all.
This year, there is much to celebrate, as we have brought on two new editors. Over the past two years, our content has evolved immensely, as we've brought in more voices from across the anime community. And, frankly, it's become a bit more than one editor can handle.
I'm pleased ...

At the start of Tatsuya Endo’s Spy x Family, a family - man, woman, and a small child - sit around a table.

Tonight, I come to you not as an editor or as a creator. I'm just here as, well, myself, without the whole "president" bit. I'd like to take a moment to discuss Anime Herald, as an organization.
