Announcing akadot.com: Where anime news is read. 
Scheduled for a full launch later this year, the preview site for 
akadot.com is up and running. Come and be the first to read it. 

Akadot.com is going to revolutionize how anime news is treated. 
The site has several professional and fan writers hard at work 
to bring readers anime related news and information. When fully 
launched, akadot will be updated daily.

Priding itself on its impartial coverage, akadot features in depth 
articles about the industry, provocative interviews with artists, 
unique columns, and all the latest anime and manga news. Akadot 
will also have polls, trivia, top ten lists, and random Q&A's with 
anime celebrities.
With a new Tokyo office, akadot and its partner, Anime News 
Service (www.animenewsservice.com), will provide readers up 
to the minute updates and information about anime and manga.

REVIEWS 
Akadot is creating a database of detailed anime reviews, complete 
with episode synopsis and numeric ratings. 
The preview site currently has reviews of "Appleseed," "Armitage III," 
"Kite," "Rail of the Star," and "Wings of Honneamise." There will be 
plenty more to come. 


ARTICLES 
Dedicating itself to impartial and journalistic coverage, akadot 
investigates and analyzes issues in the anime industry, bringing 
readers in depth articles on topics such as anime in the mainstream, 
anime and Japanese myths, and many more.
On the preview site Luis Reyes' "Walking on Eggshells" tackles the 
issue of anime and censorship in the US. 

COLUMNS
Like anime fans, akadot writers have strong opinions, sometimes to 
the distress of the editors. But this gives akadot readers intriguing 
columns from unique personalities. 
Currently, the preview site features the Kare Kano Column: His and 
Her Point Counterpoint with Matt Yamashita and E.W.C. sounding off 
on bishounen. Some other columns in the works include the Live Action 
Experiment, the Dub Track, and a newbie column.

FUN FEATURES
Wait, there's more fun and games with the daily fun features! Each day 
of the week there will be a different feature from top ten lists, random 
Q&A's, frame captures, drinking games, and much more. 
Just to give you a taste of what this is about, our preview site features 
a random Q&A with Jessica Calvello and Brett Weaver. Akadot interviewed 
artists about the most random, revealing things and wound up with a look 
into the minds of some of the most recognizable figures in anime and 
manga today.
