AnimeMonitor:
An Anime & Manga Press Release Newswire
Site Grand Opening – June 13, 2005

TAMPA AREA, FL, June 13, 2005 – There’s a new way to get your anime- and manga-industry news! Today, June 13, marks the grand opening of AnimeMonitor.com, a consumer-level newswire dedicated to the press releases and official announcements of the North American anime and manga industry.

What does this mean to readers?

AnimeMonitor:

  • Is the first English-language press release newswire dedicated to anime, manga and Asian entertainment.
  • Currently hosts more than 1,100 press releases, from 2001 to present day.
  • Is one of the only online resources that includes the images and media issued with each press release. (Think: cover art and more.)
  • Presents all press releases in a fully searchable format.
  • Offers RSS, Atom and LiveJournal feeds to readers and will soon offer content feeds for publications. AND
  • Is free: No subscription/user fees for readers and no submission fees for companies.

The new site started as an outgrowth of renovations to sister-site Absolute-Zero (Absolute-0.com), says Alison L. Roberts, site publisher and editor. “As I started tearing apart Absolute-Zero, I realized I had the potential for a very useful, archival resource at my fingertips,” explains Roberts.

“Long-time fans have watched anime and manga grow – from being somewhat underground – into a popular niche market. AnimeMonitor will document ongoing and future North American industry shifts by providing a record of how the companies portray themselves via their marketing materials.”

AnimeMonitor.com will be updated almost-daily and is maintained by Roberts, an experienced writer, publicist and marketing professional of more than 10 years.
