Upgrading The World


HeraChanOver the past few months, we’ve made some giant improvements to Anime Herald. With the introduction of our new logo in June, to our full overhaul last week, we’ve been pushing forward to make changes both in our appearance and our content. New features and articles have begun to appear, as we’ve started shifting back toward writing about anime again. At the same time, we’ve been continuously tweaking and changing to make the experience more enjoyable for you, dear reader.

Since last week, we’ve worked tirelessly to create another stable build of the site. We’ve converted the site to HTML5, which should lead to shorter load time and faster overall performance. I’m pleased to announce that, as of tonight, this update is out of testing. Tomorrow, we’ll roll everything out to the public.

I thank you for your patience, and for your continued readership. Without you, there is no Anime Herald.
