About Arthur Ward

Arthur is a contributing writer with a passion for sharing every they know and love about everything involving Shonen Anime, Manga and much more. What started as a hobby reading whatever manga volumes they could grab from their local library, has turned into a daily pursuit; ordering Shonen Jump magazines straight from Japan, and keeping up with seasonal and long-running anime series across Blu-ray and streaming.

Industry Focus

Arthur's Industry focus is primarily Shonen Anime and Manga, with some forays into Science Fiction, Comics as well as Movies & TV. An average day for Arthur is spent catching up on the latest anime releases on Crunchyroll, in-between catching the latest chapter drops for Shonen Jump on VIZ.

Favorite Anime

Arthur's Favorite Anime Movie would have to be Akira. While many other films have released since Akira first hit the big screen, the Sci-Fi story and incredible 80s art and cel animation make it an enduring classic. As for Anime series, Nadia: The Secret of Blue Water is still an all-time favorite.

Favorite Movies

While it is difficult to pick out a "Favorite" movie, recently Arthur has been really enjoying Men In Black again. A unique and stand out title in the history of Science Fiction blockbusters.
