Anime Expo 2023 – Industry Panels Master Post

By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting This year, I decided not to attend industry panels. Industry panels are typically reviews for release schedules of anime, manga, merchandise, and the like. While this can be fun to attend, it can also be a bit repetitive since most (if not all) of the titles being shared as new licenses (or titles that are set for release in … Continue reading Anime Expo 2023 – Industry Panels Master Post

PROTECT YOUR RIGHTS: This #TikTokBan Bill Is Far More Restrictive Than You Think

We do not usually post political content here at The Anime View, but this is important to understand. The S.686 bill (also called the RESTRICT Act) is far more restrictive than many realize. It is not just a bill against a single platform but a bill that opens the gates which have protected Internet freedoms of the people from overwhelming US governmental control. S.686 is … Continue reading PROTECT YOUR RIGHTS: This #TikTokBan Bill Is Far More Restrictive Than You Think
