Uk-Anime.net The UK's most comprehensive anime site
Title
UK Anime Net v.10
Description
The UK Anime Net is one of the UK's oldest online anime and manga magazines. Covering over a decade of developments, controversy and fantastic conventions, UKA (the common abbreviation) attracts an average of 150,000 unique readers a month.
The site has excellent relationships with MVM, Manga Entertainment, Tanoshimi and Beez, and it is a majority of their titles that they cover, with other distributors covered as and when.
The editor, Ross Liversidge, has written articles on Anime and Manga for Buena Vista and Sony, and makes occasional public appearances hosting panels at conventions and events around the country. Most of the time he is busy running his online marketing design & consultancy firm, Etharius Ltd.
The sub-editor, Kevin Leathers, has written for Asian culture magazine NEO and works in marketing for a computer game publisher.
Articles and features editor Andy Hanley is a prolific writer and blogger, and is currently the most active writer on the site, with insightful coverage of conventions, Crunchyroll releases and Japanese seasonal programming.
Contributors have changed over the years, but have included professional writers who have gone on to achieve major success as journalists, including Gemma Cox, editor of NEO magazine.
The website has changed its appearance many times over the years, but the key commitments are the same as always: a high standard of writing, independent views and intelligent commentary. The site's efforts have seen it listed in the AA Guide to Japan and linked to frequently by BBC online. The site is commonly seen as a jumping off point to more specialised sites, and as such takes a broad view to help introduce as many newcomers to the scene as possible.
The latest redesign (v10) is intended to take the site toward a more IGN style of site, and is recruiting contributors to add as much content as possible, be it reviews, news or articles.
