About AnimeNextSeason

Why AnimeNextSeason exists

The idea began with a late-night search for Accel World Season 2. Jan had finished the series, saw how naturally the story could continue, and went looking for reliable information. Instead, search results mixed real details with listings and articles that made an unproduced season look available or confirmed.

That frustration became the purpose of AnimeNextSeason: give fans a useful answer even when the answer is “nothing has been announced.” The site launched in 2018 and grew from anime sequel coverage into release-date reporting, streaming guides, and analysis across television and movies.

What the site covers

AnimeNextSeason is most useful when information is incomplete or changing. Coverage explains what is known, where the claim came from, and what remains uncertain. Popularity, sales, source material, and production schedules can add context, but none of them alone proves that a project has been renewed.

How the reporting works

Jan researches, edits, and publishes the site. Sources vary by story, but priority goes to studios, publishers, broadcasters, streaming services, production companies, and other parties directly involved. Japanese announcements and trade reporting are checked when they are relevant to anime coverage.

• Official facts are identified as official. A renewal, production decision, release window, and exact premiere date are treated as different claims.
• Reports and rumors are attributed. Several sites repeating one unverified post do not turn it into independent confirmation.
• Predictions show their reasoning. Analysis may consider available source material, prior release patterns, production capacity, or commercial context without presenting an estimate as a promise.
• Old information is corrected or updated. Readers can report a factual problem by email, and significant corrections should be explained.

The full standards are published in the Editorial Policy. That page also explains corrections, sponsorship disclosures, spoilers, sourcing, and the use of AI-assisted editing tools.

Meet Jan Varga (MaskaThor)

I’m Jan, the person behind AnimeNextSeason. I live in Bratislava and have run the site since 2018. I grew up with anime, games, and science-fiction television, from Neon Genesis Evangelion and Gundam SEED to Stargate SG-1.

English is my second language. I started learning it more seriously while playing Fallout 2 in 2000 because waiting for translations was slower than learning enough to keep playing. The name “MaskaThor” combines two childhood favorites: Maska and Thor.

I use AI-assisted tools for grammar, structure, and clarity. They are not sources and do not establish whether a claim is true. I remain responsible for the research, conclusions, references, and final published text.

Ownership, funding, and independence

AnimeNextSeason has no corporate owner or outside editorial management. Display advertising is managed through Mediavine. Relevant sponsored partnerships may be considered, but paid material must be clearly labeled and payment does not buy a favorable conclusion or control independent reporting.

The site currently does not use affiliate links. If funding or ownership changes in a way that could matter to readers, the relevant disclosures and policies should change with it.

Accountability

A good About page should make the publisher easier to evaluate, not ask readers to accept slogans about trust. You can review the site’s Editorial Policy, Privacy Policy, and Terms of Use directly.
