What other forums besides Anime-Beta do you like to keep up with for anime and animation info?

I usually check in with Animation News Network for general news and AnimeSuki for fansubs and reviews. I also enjoy Ask John at AnimeNation. But I think my favorite is AniPages Daily; lots of references there to new things I can learn from. Anybody else have some other favorites?

Random Curiousity often blogs anime I watch. He usually posts screencaps of the episodes he or someone else there is blogging before I can get the episodes:
http://randomc.animeblogger.net/

But to save his enormous bandwidth I only visit there 1 to 3 times a day.

Anime Suki Forum is where I read anime threads that follow specific shows. Most of the people posting in the specific anime's threads like the show (unless it's "Ayakashi" and the show has no fans). One of the reasons I like reading there is because they're often posting about the episode's content before I've gotten a chance to see it. That helps me decide if I should continue to get the show or drop it:
http://forums.animesuki.com/

Moonphase lists upcoming anime, upcoming anime without firm dates and "possible" anime planned in the future. The website is in Japanese however:
http://www.moonphase.cc/Html/anime.html

Pukiwiki lists upcoming anime and fansubbers that might work on them:
http://www.fansubwiki.com/Main_Page

Anime Suki Forums New Announced Anime" thread lists upcoming anime and "shounen/shoujo/seinen/josei" designations:
http://forums.animesuki.com/showthread. ... 06&page=74

Anime News Network for news and anime info:
http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/

AnimeOnDVD for news and DVD reviews:
http://www.animeondvd.com/

AnimeNfo for anime that don't show up on Anime News Network Encyclopedia (not often):
http://www.animenfo.com/

AnimeOnDVD Forum for anime discussions of more "commercial" concern:
http://www.animeondvd.com/forum/

Then there's YouTube for upcoming anime trailers and Wikipedia for anime info (or maybe it might be only the games they were inspired by). The Wikipedia "shounen/shoujo/seinen/josei" designations are more accurate than most.

wow keropi, i am impressed!

i second you tube as a great source for trailers, if you know what you are looking for. and studio blogs for production logs and news about upcoming projects.

one studio blog that i recently love is http://www.nicerainbow.com/blog/, usually hosted by katsuhito ishii (known for "the animatrix"). they are always posting interesting commentary and videos.

Good grief, Charlie Brown

Well, I was gonna list off the places I go to, but I think everything has already been covered, and then some.

Well I'm still curious where others go even if they're the same places mentioned earlier.
