ANN and Protoculture Addicts Join Forces

For Immediate Release

ANN and Protoculture Addicts Join Forces

First Issue of ANN Protoculture Addicts on Sale in January

Montreal, September 18, 2004 — At Nan Desu Kan today, ANN announced that it has partnered with North America’s oldest anime magazine, Protoculture Addicts, to produce “ANN'sProtoculture Addicts.”

“ANN has always wanted to publish a print companion to the website, and rather than start with a blank slate, we felt that it would be better to partner with an existing magazine,” said Christopher Macdonald, editor-in-chief of Anime News Network. “Protoculture Addicts is the perfect choice for us. It is more in tune with our mentality of putting information first, than any other magazine in the industry.”

“Protoculture Addicts has been around for 17 years, for many of us it was the first anime magazine we ever bought. Because it’s independent readers have always been able to trust Protoculture Addicts to be an unbiased source of information. What’s more, it’s a magazine that adult anime fans can look to without feeling like they’re reading something written for twelve-year-olds.”

“This is an excellent opportunity for us,” said Claude J. Pelletier, editor-in-chief of Protoculture Addicts. “It’s a big honor to be associated with one of the greatest anime resources on the Internet. This will provide the magazine the bigger staff that it was lacking in order to develop itself further. With a stronger production team and new ideas, I really believe that there is no limit to what Protoculture Addicts will be able to achieve. Not only will the magazine be able to become an even better guide to anime culture, but it will also allow us to realize many other publication projects that we never had time to work on before.”

The first issue of Anime News Network’s Protoculture Addicts and the 82nd issue of Protoculture Addicts will be on sale in January (Solicitation in the November issue of Previews). This issue will introduce readers to several new anime series (Avenger, Cinderella Boy, Otogi Zoushi, RE: Cutie Honey, Samurai 7, Scrapped Princess, Stellvia and more!) and will offer plenty of conventions & festival reports, reviews of all sorts of anime-related products, as well as the latest news!
