Creator Profiles / Official Sources
Every story on this blog is checked against the people and studios who actually made the announcement. This page lists those official sources in plain text — so you can see where our news is verified, and so the desk knows exactly where to check first.
How this page works
Handles and names below are written as plain text on purpose. This blog never links out to other sites — all links here are internal, to our own articles. These profiles are used to verify news, not to send readers elsewhere. A post on one of these accounts is a lead, never a fact, until the official announcement behind it is confirmed — see ourEditorial Standards.

Publishers, studios and streamers the desk checks
For announcements that span many series, the desk checks the official accounts of the publisher or platform first: Shueisha (Weekly Shonen Jump and Jump GIGA), Crunchyroll, Netflix Anime, HIDIVE, Toei Animation and Aniplex. Their X handles are listed in our internal watchlist (src/data/x-sources.md) and in the news-channels list (src/data/news-channels.md). None of them is linked from this page — this is a verification list, not a directory of links.
What is not listed here
Rival anime news sites and blogs are deliberately not listed. They are competitors, not sources: the desk may study their format, but never copies their content, images or links, and never sends readers to them. Leak accounts are also not listed here — they live in the watchlist as tips only, and anything from them is published solely inLeaks, labelled LEAK — UNVERIFIED.
