About anibu.jp
👋 Who We Are
anibu.jp is an independent anime news site based in Japan, created and run entirely by anime fans. Every member of our team is a full-blown otaku—we collect figures, go to anime cafes, obsess over voice actors, and binge-watch every season.
We’re not a media company. We’re fans, just like you. And we believe this:
Anime news from Japan should reach global fans quickly, clearly, and with heart.
🧭 Our Mission
Our goal is simple: to bring the latest anime and subculture news straight from Japan to English-speaking fans—as fast and as faithfully as possible.
Whether it’s a surprise Blu-ray release, a collaboration cafe, or a brand-new figure announcement, we pick up the news right when it drops and get it to you with care and context.
🧠 What Makes anibu Different?
- 📍 We’re based in Japan—so we’re close to the source.
- 🧑💻 100% run by anime fans. No bots. No corporate filters.
- 🧩 Carefully curated and written with passion.
- 📰 We focus on real news—not clickbait or recycled posts.
We don’t just cover the news—we care about what it means to the fandom.
🧪 About Our Writing Process
We use AI tools to assist with English translation, formatting, and clarity.
However, every article is curated, checked, and edited by our team of human writers who truly love anime.
To us, AI is a helpful tool—but real fans make the final call.
🧡 Why We Do This
Because so much of Japan’s anime scene never makes it into English.
Because English-speaking fans deserve better than auto-generated content.
Because we believe in building a bridge—from Japan to the world—with honest, fast, and fandom-first news.
