News By VDeviance on Sunday: Links And Longreads Of Note
Humberto SaabedraWelcome to the first installment of News by VDeviance On Sunday, a weekly post spotlighting the best links and longreads of note relating to, but not exclusively about the anime and manga industry. While anime journalism is fragmenting and heavily focused on social media and video, I wanted to provide a space for written articles and podcasts that serve as jumping off points to larger discussions. While this will be intended as a weekly installment to be published on Sundays, the quantity will vary based on industry developments and output by trusted writers and sources during the year. Without further ado, the first collection of worthy links below:
- Crunchyroll’s Latin American subscribers make up 40% of dubbed anime viewership overall on the platform, according to Vice-President of Regional Marketing Raul González – Otaku Press Peru (in Spanish)
- PRX’s Never Post podcast takes on hentai in the age of the post-platform internet in conversation with reseaercher and scholar Aurelie Petit.
- Columnist and writer David Cabrera writes a lament on how the recently announced 2026 Fist of the North Star anime falls far short of expectations due to the choice of CG animation
- How an essay about how video games are discussed gave me tools that I didn’t know I needed to write better (Doc Bruford)
