Welcome
Hi, I’m Nocchi, the writer and founder of Anime Press.
I was born and raised in Japan, and I still live here today. As a lifelong fan of anime, manga, and games, I’ve spent years immersed in Japan’s otaku culture. This site is my way of sharing that world with readers around the globe.
My Story
After gaining experience in the web-media industry, I began working as a freelance writer covering entertainment and pop culture. I created Anime Press to deliver coverage that is accurate, fast, and written from the perspective of someone who actually lives in Japan. What started as a small project has grown into a reliable resource for fans who want clear, timely information about how anime is made, released, and distributed.
What You’ll Find Here
- Latest news and announcements: new seasons, films, staff/cast updates, key visuals, and trailers.
- Streaming guides: where to watch legally, with region-specific availability.
- Seasonal lineups and curated lists: easy ways to keep up with each season.
- Reviews and editorials: honest opinions plus cultural context from inside Japan.
- Event coverage: conventions, screenings, collaboration cafés, and special pop-ups.
Every article on this site is researched, written, and edited by me.
Why You Can Trust Anime Press
- Experience: I actively follow industry news in Japanese, attend events when possible, and keep up with studio and distributor announcements.
- Expertise: My background in media and localization helps me interpret official sources accurately for an international audience.
- Authoritativeness: I rely on verified information—press releases, official websites, and reputable distributors—and I credit sources clearly.
- Trustworthiness: Editorial opinions are independent. Partners and affiliates do not influence coverage or verdicts. Substantive updates and corrections are noted on the page.
Monetization and Independence
To keep the site running, I use display ads and affiliate links (for example, Amazon Associates and other international programs). If you purchase through a link, I may earn a commission at no additional cost to you. These partnerships never determine what I cover or how I review it.
Mission
Anime is more than entertainment—it is culture, art, and shared emotion. My goal is to help fans everywhere discover, understand, and enjoy the stories behind their favorite series, and to make it effortless to track what’s new, where to watch, and why it matters.
