Trust is more useful than pretending a small anime site has a giant newsroom. I Crave Anime is published by the I Crave Anime Editorial Team. This page explains what that name means and how each kind of article is handled.
Editorial policy
Reviews and personal essays are opinion. Watch orders and guides are practical reference work. News and release-date claims require stronger sourcing than either one. Affiliate relationships never change a verdict, ranking, or recommendation, and sponsored placement is not sold as editorial judgment.
We do not claim access to screeners, studios, creators, or private industry information unless an article says so explicitly. We do not invent firsthand experience, quotes, testing, or reporting.
Sourcing methodology
For factual claims, the preferred source order is:
- Official franchise, studio, publisher, broadcaster, or streaming-service announcements.
- Primary materials such as episode listings, official schedules, licensed releases, and creator statements.
- Established trade or news publications when a primary source is unavailable.
Articles link important sources in the body or in a source note. Rumors, leaks, fan translations, database entries, and social posts are labeled for what they are. Availability and streaming catalogs can change by country, so readers should confirm the service in their region before paying.
The homepage’s Now Slurping board is different from an editorial ranking. Its underlying trend and score data comes from AniList and is refreshed by automation. It is labeled as community data, not a staff verdict.
Corrections policy
Accuracy fixes are made as soon as they are confirmed. A meaningful correction changes the article’s reviewed or updated date and, when context matters, adds a correction note explaining what changed. Small spelling, grammar, and formatting fixes may be made without a note.
Send a correction with the article URL and supporting source to [email protected]. A disagreement with an opinion is not a factual correction, but good counterarguments are still welcome.
AI assistance disclosure
AI tools may help with research organization, outlines, first-draft language, metadata, link checks, formatting, and routine site maintenance. Automation also helps refresh the Now Slurping board and publish scheduled work.
AI output is not treated as a source. Factual claims still need the sourcing standard above. The editorial team is responsible for what gets published, and automation must not fabricate viewing experience, personal stories, quotes, sources, or certainty.
Reviews and updates
When an article has been specifically rechecked, its page shows a Last reviewed date. Articles also show how factual claims are treated and link back here. Older articles without a reviewed date should not be read as a promise that every availability detail was checked today.
