Most fans these days don't buy physical media any more. If you read ANN, you're valuable to us Smile

I didn't notice most of the "other" options in the survey until looking at the results. So I'm guessing some answers -- definitely mine -- are skewed because of that.

My only real advice/desire for the site is for there to be less fluff: less non-anime or non-manga stuff, less "this week in anime" posts, etc. More serious editorials and essays, video or not, would seem to be really beneficial. I'm guessing a lot of the fluffier articles are to get site traffic for less cost, and if they work then great, but it'd be great if ANN could get more technical articles on things. Cartoon Brew has way more editorials, interviews with people in the industry, etc. for instance. ANN comes off a bit dry and bloated when you have MAL's news section and the A.I.R (Anime Intelligence (and) Research) Twitter account doing a better job at anime releases and updates than ANN is. I really like the Callum May guest articles and miss the Answerman column a lot.

It's disappointing how much work fans are doing on the sidelines in like podcasts, blogs, anitube, etc. to talk about new and old anime in a deep fashion but for people to access it requires people actively seeking it out and random chance.

"This week in anime" gives me a good laugh - saying what one couldn't say in a serious review.

It would be good if there was somewhere on the internet that continued to review anime soundtracks - it's good to get an idea of what is good while the titles are still in print (e.g. I was able to get Gargantia anime including OVA's relatively recently but by then the OST was out of print).

Hi, the current survey seems to omit some things I would count as social media e.g.

Discord

Line

Twitch.tv

Youtube.com

twitcasting.tv

and more Japan-specific platforms:

Ameba

note.com
