Our Backstory (Luckily not as sad as Naruto’s):
Hey, it’s Shubham here!
I started AnimeNewsAndFacts in 2019, right when I was about to begin my college journey. The idea for this blog came to mind during my time on Amino Apps, a popular and modern social media forum where users could discuss their favourite anime, movies, books, series, hobbies, and more. Amino Apps had unique features that I hadn’t seen on any other social media platform, such as the ability to create quizzes, engage in roleplaying, and even have a screening room.
It was there that I discovered the joy of researching the behind-the-scenes aspects of my favourite anime and manga series, along with fun trivia, and discussing them with other members. Inspired by this experience, I decided to create a blog that would summarize these fun facts and make them easily accessible to the wider online community.
Another reason behind starting this blog was my frustration with the limited information available at the time. Many anime journalists, who primarily covered American movies and series, were not well aware of the nuances and differences in the Japanese animation industry. This lack of understanding often led to confusion within the network.
I wanted to make a change and provide anime fans with legitimate anime news from credible sources. Additionally, I was already working as a part-time anime content writer at omnitos.com for two years, but I realized that I wouldn’t be able to make a significant impact by only writing about popular series like Dragon Ball, Naruto, and Fairy Tail.
With two years of experience in my hands and lots of free time (cause who actually studies at college), I took a leap of faith and started my own blog, AnimeNewsAndFacts, with the aim of providing anime fans with legitimate anime news from cited sources. Alongside news coverage, my goal was to provide recommendations, statistics, explanations of anime production details, and, of course, Anime Facts. Recently I have also been featured as one of the Best Anime Journalists and Editors by Feedspot.
Later, I was joined by my school friend Reubin, who already had experience working as an anime blogger at OtakuKart and Otakuverse and brought in the technical expertise, helping me scale this hobby blog to what it is today.
Over the years, AnimeNewsAndFacts has grown to become one of the prominent anime editorial websites, serving and assisting 12 million readers over the course of the last four years. We continue to expand our horizons and provide valuable content to the anime community.
I am incredibly grateful for all the support we’ve received over the years, and I hope you will continue to support us on our journey.
