The website offers reviews and other editorial content, forums where readers can discuss current issues and events, and an encyclopedia that contains many anime and manga with information on the staff, cast, theme music, plot summaries, and user ratings.[2]
The website was founded in July 1998 by Justin Sevakis, and operated the magazine Protoculture Addicts from 2005 to 2008. Based in the United States,[3] it has separate versions of its news content aimed toward audiences in five separate regions: the United States and Canada, the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland, Australia and New Zealand,[4] Southeast Asia,[5] and India.
