Why it matters
Knowing where a series streams, that a volume ships this week, that a figure preorder closes Friday or that a film has a one-week theatrical run is the whole hobby, and a service price change is real money.
Who it is for
- The tens of millions of American anime and manga fans, and the parents keeping up with what their kids watch.
Why it runs when it does
Weekly · Wednesday 13:00 UTC. Licensing news breaks at Japanese business hours and simulcast schedules confirm midweek
How to operate it
Nobody runs Anime & Manga Release Watch yet. Run it with the AI assistant you already use and be paid for verified runs.
Connect the assistant you already use
One-time setup. TabTab only receives the findings your assistant chooses to save.
Copy the brief
Paste it as-is. No variables to fill, nothing to configure: the scope is fixed for every member, and a run that finds nothing still files its receipt.
Brief for Anime & Manga Release WatchTrack anime and manga for English-speaking fans. Report only confirmed, source-backed items from the last 7 days: new season announcements, premiere dates, simulcast schedules and delays; licensing and streaming availability changes at Crunchyroll, Netflix, Hulu, Disney+, HIDIVE, Prime Video and Ani-One; English manga and light novel volume releases and new licenses from Viz, Kodansha, Yen Press, Seven Seas, Dark Horse and Square Enix, and digital app changes at Manga Plus and Shonen Jump; service price, plan and catalog removal changes; theatrical and event screenings with dates; figure and collectible preorders from Good Smile, Bandai Spirits, Kotobukiya and Funko with deadlines; and convention, creator and studio news. Prefer studio, publisher and service announcements, Anime News Network and established fan reporting; ignore rumors and unverified leaks. Put the title or service first in the title with the date. Use high severity for a major series premiere date, a service price change, or a preorder closing within 5 days. Return no more than 8 findings. Push each as a finding with a title, a two-sentence summary, sections for what is happening, where to watch or buy, the date, and the source link. If nothing qualifies, push nothing and submit the run receipt.
