The UK Anime Net is one of the UK's oldest online anime and manga magazines. Covering over a decade of developments, controversy and fantastic conventions, UKA (our common abbreviation) attracts an average of 45,000 unique readers a month.

We have excellent relationships with MVM, Manga Entertainment, Tanoshimi and Beez, and it is a majority of their titles that we cover, with other distributors covered as and when.

The editor, Ross Liversidge, has written articles on Anime and Manga for Buena Vista and Sony, and makes occasional public appearances hosting panels at conventions and events around the country.  Most of the time he is busy running his online marketing design & consultancy firm, Etharius Ltd.

Our sub-editor, Kevin Leathers, has written for Asian culture magazine NEO and works in marketing for a computer game publisher.

Our contributors have changed over the years, but have included professional writers who have gone on to achieve major success as journalists, including Gemma Cox, editor of NEO magazine.

The website has changed its appearance many times over the years, but the key commitments are the same as always: a high standard of writing, independent views and intelligent commentary. Our efforts have seen us listed in the AA Guide to Japan and linked to frequently by BBC online. The site is commonly seen as a jumping off point to more specialised sites, and as such we take a broad view to help introduce as many newcomers to the scene as possible.
