Anime Dispatch is committed to accurate, transparent, and useful reporting on anime and manga. This page explains how we gather information and how we handle mistakes.
Our sourcing standards
We prioritize sources in this order:
- Official anime or manga websites, and official announcements from studios, publishers, and licensors.
- Official social media accounts of the studios, creators, and licensors involved.
- Established trade publications with a track record of accuracy.
- Reliable Japanese entertainment outlets and press releases.
When a story is based on a leak, a rumor, or an unverified social media post, we say so plainly and label it as such. We do not present speculation as confirmed fact.
Original reporting, not copying
Every article we publish is written independently. We do not reproduce articles from other publications. Where our reporting depends on another outlet’s work, we credit and link to them.
Corrections
We get things wrong sometimes. When we do:
- Factual errors are corrected as soon as we confirm them.
- Significant corrections include a visible note explaining what changed.
- Typos and minor wording fixes are made silently.
To report an error, use our contact page and include the article URL.
Images and media
Promotional images, key visuals, and stills used on this site remain the property of their respective rights holders and are used for reporting and commentary purposes. If you are a rights holder and want an image removed or credited differently, contact us and we will act promptly. See our Disclaimer.
Advertising
Advertising is served by third-party networks. Advertisers have no influence over our editorial decisions, and sponsored content — should we ever publish it — will be clearly labelled.
AI disclosure
We use software tools to help with research, drafting, and formatting. All published articles are reviewed and edited by a human editor before publication, and no article is published from an automated feed without editorial review.
