Some of you may have noticed that our monthly Patreon totals saw a, uh, rather sharp uptick the past few months. We try to be as transparent with our supporters as possible, so we thought we should address that and our financial plans for the immediate future.
As many of you know, we launched a Fundraiser Drive in mid-September 2020 to help us pay for podcast transcripts. Unfortunately, we weren’t able to meet our Patreon goals, meaning we need to adjust our publication schedule to meet costs and needs.
Just a quick announcement for y’all: Like we did last September (2019), we’re taking the rest of November off from publishing new contributor pieces and will be running “reruns” of older articles instead.
Balancing our responsibility to increase accessibility with the uncertainties of 2020, we’re launching an Extremely Chill Fundraiser to fund podcast transcripts and help meet the needs of our AniFam. This drive comes in two parts: one to cover future podcast transcripts, and another to cover the transcript backlog (episodes 76-125).
Marking our first site update since the fundraiser wrapped two months ago, we have some big news, both exciting and a little sad.
March has been low on reasons to celebrate (to say the least), but here’s a small one for our readers: AniFem’s first-ever fundraiser has officially completed all its major tasks! Cheers, AniFam!
We have good news and delayed news.
We’d hoped to have the review database complete by mid-February, and thanks to hard work and copious cups of coffee, we’ve done exactly that!
A new year, a new anime season, and a new website—look at us multitasking out here.
The wait is over! We’ve officially launched the redesigned Anime Feminist, complete with a clean, accessible design, upgraded search and filter options, a revamped tagging system, and easier access to articles old and new.
Should auld target dates be forgot and never brought to mind~
We’re nearing the finish line and 2019 is looking to end with an accomplished bang! Keep reading for way too many exclamation marks as we get excited about Indiegogo goals a year in the making.
Despite the sea of premiere reviews that overtook us like it does every three months, we’ve made good across-the-board progress on achieving all our fundraiser goals. Keep reading for updates and a sneak peek at the art design!
We spent the past month locked in to fundraiser tasks and made significant progress across all fronts. Onwards to the updates!

This update has been a long time coming. Thanks so much to all our supporters for being so patient with us, and our sincerest apologies for not providing this sooner. The good news is there is no bad news: We’re still pursuing all of our fundraiser goals and making steady progress on our promises! The rest of the news is… well, realistic, mostly.
Earlier today our crowdfunding campaign closed – a success, by any measure.
Many of you have had fair and thoughtful questions about how we’re going to make more money in an ethical way. To answer you, here is our complete and transparent three-year vision and strategy.
