So You Wanna Start An Anime Magazine Hosted by Samantha Ferreira The anime community lives and dies on the passion of its members. From the fanzines of the ‘80s, to elaborate Geocities shrines of the ‘90s, to the AniTubers of the ‘00s, there has always been a group of folks who’ve rolled up their sleeves, and gotten their hands dirty to spread the word of fandom. Many of these intrepid fans persevered through a combination of passion, grit, and a heck of a lot of learning by the seat of their pants. In its early days, though, the anime media landscape was vastly different, though. Publications like Anime-Zine, Protoculture Addicts, and Animag gave way to Animerica, Anime Insider, and Newtype USA. These publications provided vital news and commentary for the growing community, while providing a time capsule of their era.As the years went on, though, the anime world has changed, and the humble magazine has begun to evolve for this new era.Samantha Ferreira founded Anime Herald in 2010, and launched Anime Herald Magazine in 2025. In this panel, she aims to provide a brief history of the anime magazine, while pulling back the curtain as she discusses just what makes for a successful anime publication, and outlines the many pitfalls and “things to know” with regards to starting an anime magazine in the modern era.
