The OtakuOshi anime newsletter
Our anime newsletter brings featured creators, new content drops, open calls for collaborations and platform news straight to your inbox, along with extras just for subscribers. No spam and no third-party ads, only what the otaku community actually cares about.
Why subscribe to our anime newsletter
The newsletter is OtakuOshi’s direct line to its community. It’s not a generic mailing list but a hand-picked roundup for otaku fans and creators. Each issue covers the creators who are standing out, the latest additions to the catalog, open calls for collaborations and anthologies, platform updates and content reserved for subscribers.
We never sell your email address, and our emails carry no outside advertising or spam. We write when there’s something worth sharing, not to fill a send schedule. And if you ever want out, you can unsubscribe in one click from any email.
What you’ll get in every issue
Every issue is put together so fans and creators alike get something useful out of it.
Featured creators
Profiles of cosplayers, illustrators, manga artists, photographers, voice artists and other creators doing standout work on the platform. We pick them for the quality of what they make, not because an algorithm says so, so you’re likely to meet artists you’d never have stumbled on by browsing alone.
New releases and catalog updates
The newest additions to the catalog, from photo sets and manga chapters to illustration series, tutorials, audio and videos. It’s sorted by category so you can jump straight to your thing without digging through the whole platform.
Open calls and collabs
Anthologies, collaborative projects, themed events and other chances to team up with fellow creators. If you post on OtakuOshi, it’s the most direct way to hear about projects you can join.
Platform updates
New features, improvements to the user experience, policy changes and updates to the payment system. We’re upfront about how OtakuOshi is evolving.
Subscriber-only content
Extras that only go out to newsletter readers, like creator interviews, behind-the-scenes looks at the OtakuOshi team, previews of features in development, occasional discounts and a surprise or two from partner creators.
Events and calendar
Key dates for the otaku community: anime cons, Comiket and Japanese matsuri, plus live streams scheduled by creators on the platform, release dates for anticipated projects and deadlines for open calls.
For fans
If you follow creators on OtakuOshi, the newsletter helps you find new artists outside your usual circle, catch releases before they get buried in your feed and get exclusive content that isn’t posted on the platform. It doesn’t replace notifications from the creators you already subscribe to; it adds to them. Those tell you what’s happening in your subscriptions, and the newsletter tells you what’s going on across the whole community. To see everything that’s out there, head to our otaku content catalog.
For creators
If you post on OtakuOshi, the anime newsletter gives you an extra shot at visibility. Creators who post quality work consistently can be picked as featured creators and show up in it, which puts them in front of the entire subscriber list. Open calls for collaborations and themed events are announced here first, too. Want to reach further? Encourage your fans to subscribe. And if you don’t have a profile yet, here’s how to monetize your otaku content.

No need. The newsletter is separate from your platform account, so you can subscribe with just your email even if you haven’t signed up at fans.otakuoshi.com. If you create an account later, your subscription stays active.
Featured creators are chosen for the quality and consistency of their content, and it’s not a paid spot. If you post quality work regularly, you could be selected. And if you have a launch or project you think the community would love, tell us about it through our contact page.
No. The newsletter is suitable for all ages. If we mention creators who post R-15 or R-18 content, we link to their profile on the platform, but the email itself never includes explicit content or previews of that kind.
First, check your spam or junk folder. If it’s not there either, make sure you confirmed your subscription, since you get a confirmation email right after signing up. If the problem continues, look for help in the help center or write to us through our contact page.
