The site, in 2003
A news site covering anime, manga, video games and Japanese pop culture, with forums and a large encyclopedia of titles.
It took over editorial control of the magazine Protoculture Addicts, which ran from 2005 to 2008, and keeps separate news editions for five regions. In November 2022 Kadokawa agreed to buy a majority of its media business.
In 2003: Its Encyclopedia, a shared database of anime and manga titles, had launched the year before, on 30 June 2002.
Web 2.0 era, 2003 to 2008. Rounded corners, reflections and drop shadows. Everything was social, and everything was in beta.
The Long Tail: The niche, the local and the specialist. Most of the web, really.
