Insights and obervations from someone who has been there and back again
Over the past week. I’m sure you’ve noticed that we’ve had a marked reduction in editorial content. Where our page would normally host reviews and articles, we’ve been barren. Instead, press releases and dry news bits have dominated our feed. In short, we’ve been half-dead. Unfortunately, this is my fault. Due to outside influences, I’ve [...]
Good evening, readers. Yep, it’s that time again – due to outside obligations, my time grows a bit limited. And, because of this, my time to devote to The Herald grows short as well. While I will do my best to minimize the impact on you and your overall experience, there may be a period [...]
On January 21, Viz Media finally pulled the plug on its Weekly Shonen Jump Alpha digital manga publication. The publication relaunched, sans its “Alpha” in its moniker. The new publication promised new series, higher page counts, and exclusive freebies, among other enhancements.By many standards, three months from launch is more than enough time to iron [...]
Over the years, I’ve reviewed a lot of anime. I’ve watched through hundreds of titles, thousands of episodes, and countless hours of content, only to pass judgment in a snarky smackdown or a few pages of gushing praise.

Welcome back to another journey through Sakura Wars! You must’ve thought this column was dead, right? That it wasn’t just sleeping, and that nice Mr. Ferreira didn’t really bring it to a farm where good little columns go to play with all the others? Well, you thought wrong! Turns out, I’m just terrible with time [...]
First of all, I’d like to wish everybody reading a happy holiday! I hope that you are enjoying time, whether it’s with family, or having some quiet time alone. At Herald Headquarters, things have been busy, indeed. Friday, we hosted an interview with a special guest, which we’ll be posting as soon as we can. [...]
Tomorrow, I’ll be joining another Herald staffer to interview a person within the industry. Because of this, I’ve been spending the night wracking my brain to scrounge up questions to ask, and preparing our equipment for the recording. It’s stressful, it’s time consuming, but it’s a hell of a lot of fun all the same. [...]
Right Stuf will release Hyakko! on DVD under their Lucky Penny brand on April 2. The series, which originally aired 2008, will be the first moe title to be released under the Lucky Penny brand. We received the privilege of a review screener for the series last week. Since we received the whole entire product, [...]
In last week’s discussion, we reviewed just what comprises a “crappy” customer. We looked at how this customer functions both as a monetary agent and as a form of leverage on the greater market.
