Editorial Policy

Animate Times delivers information on a wide range of entertainment topics with a focus on anime and voice actors. We always prioritize "providing information for fans" to convey the appeal of this content to more people and help them enjoy it. The two editorial policies we uphold are "Fan First" and "Making You Love It More." The "Fans (Readers)" we envision in our "Fan First" approach fall into two main categories. The first is "those who are just starting to become interested in the content." This means you, who are not yet a fan but are beginning to show interest. We hope you'll use Animate Times as a gateway to information about anime and voice actors, and enjoy this fascinating world with us. The second category is "those who already love the content," meaning you, the existing fan. For you, we strive to deliver even more in-depth information and new perspectives to further deepen your love for the works and voice actors. Our other editorial theme, "Love It More," embodies our wish for you to not only love the works and voice actors but also "cherish yourself who loves these works and voice actors."? We will continue to provide information, hoping that your encounters with these works will make your life more enjoyable and enriching. We want Animate Times to be a place where you can be yourself and enjoy deepening your bond with anime and voice actors.
