[Notes] Want to be an Anime Journalist? (Belated notes from an Anime Expo Industry Panel)

A few years ago at Anime Expo, I attended a panel on breaking into anime journalism featuring editors and publishers from some of the biggest names in anime media.

“Crunchylist”?!?!

By: Krow Smith | @coffeewithkrow​ There I was, casually perusing Crunchyroll looking for anime to watch (as one does). Merrily, I read descriptions, judged cover art, and made my assessments. When I was suddenly struck with waves of confusion as I was distracted since I couldn’t find the “Add To Watchlist” button. “What was so distracting?” You conveniently ask. Well!
