Press Registration

  • Anime Magic! welcomes members of the media to join us in coverage of this year’s event! This includes media who are involved in the anime, manga, and/or entertainment industry.

    Prior approval for yourself or your outlet as Press does not guarantee future approvals. Complimentary Press badges are a privilege granted and we reserve the right to deny applications at any point.

    Press Membership Badges may be for those employed with a major media company, independent contractors, or other media professionals. Currently recognized outlet types include Broadcast Media, Print Media, Web-Based Media (Audio, Video, or Written), Freelance Press who submit items to established outlets for publishing, and Student Media fitting the above categories. To be considered, the outlet must have a minimum of 1 year’s regular activity. This means a minimum of monthly posting.

    Please note that any creators/outlets who produce “shock” or "comedy shock" content goes against the Anime Magic! Anti-Harassment Policy and our Press Department has a zero-tolerance policy for this behavior. We will not approve any outlet or member known to create such content, and any approved Press member/outlet found to engage in harassment or otherwise inappropriate behavior will receive a permanent ban and will not be approved in future years.
