How Doujin Illustrators Influenced The Aesthetics of Japan's Underground Music Culture
Many illustrators who’ve contributed to underground and doujin music scene history eventually find themselves working on monumental projects, like Vtuber designs or video game concept art - but it’s cool to see that there’s a place for everyone to play a role in this part of the subculture, irrespective of where the future takes them.

How Record of Lodoss War Influenced Anime and Tabletop Gaming
"There’s a relatability and accessibility to imagining yourself in a group of people shouting at each other over where to take their adventure next, how to overcome some impossible odds, or trying to ask the DM what you can do to get yourselves out of a jam."

Jared Throne Talks With Anime Herald
I love comics. You’d be surprised by how many make comics who don’t read a lot. I’m constantly reading comics. I love comics. I want to make comics. I’m going to keep making comics. I’m a music guy and a design guy. I hope that comes across.

At last! Congratulations, @animeherald.com it's gorgeous.

I really like how the warm, different colors demarcate each article but are also easy on the eyes.

And what a difference there is between online and print, this just feels like the big time, like AH has really made it.

Can confirm, @sam-animeherald.bsky.social was super picky when deciding on publishing partners; we spent about three months getting opinions from folks who've published independent media before. We wanted this to be special, and we're so glad everyone's enjoying it. 🥹
Look what just came! Haven’t had a chance to do more than thumb through it but my initial impressions, are that this isn’t a magazine, it’s a book.

The paper, binding and print quality are every bit as good as the CLAMP artbook I got yesterday.

There sure is a lot to read in this but if you're looking for something to really dive into rather than just browsing the pretty pictures then it's well worth it.

Inaugural issue of @animeherald.com Magazine came in and I'm loving leafing through it so far!

Chock-full of the kinds of essays I love to read (and write!), tastefully composed, and bookended by community promos and CITATIONS. Even has a mini-print in for a "subscription card"!

Excellent stuff.
