How do you keep up with the latest anime or manga news?

Newtype Magazine - Newtype magazine featuring Kira Yamato and Lacus Clyne from the anime Gundam Seed and Gundam Seed Destiny.

Do you have a subscription to magainzes such as Newtype, do you subscribe to manga distributors like Shonen Jump, or do you just get the inside scoop on your favorite anime(s) by visiting websites dedicated to them? I personally used to have subscriptions to Shonen Jump and Newtype until they both ran out. Now I mostly just catch up on anime manga related news online, although I am planning on renewing my Newtype subscription again. That really is one awesome magazine, and the freebies rock!

currently im reading the manga hajime no ippo, and the best way to know if the next chapter is out is to check fansites. they are pretty accurate and would post for any recent news of your manga

Dorothy Catalonia - screencap of Dorothy Catalonia from the anime series Gundam Wing (Shin Kidou Senki Gundam W). This is when she is petioning Milardo Peacecraft (Zechs) to let her join him on Whitefang's side.
Yes fansites are very quick to report on information, indeed when it comes to speed they're tops. But I've found that a lot of times they have a nasty habit of posting an unfounded rumor on their site and labeling it as fact without validating it first.

And somehow instead of adding the image of Dorothy to the anime section itself I seem to have goofed and added it to this discussion instead. Oi vey.

I personally don't mind spoilers so that doesn't affect me much when I read them in magazines. Though I know a lot of people find them irksome.

Same here, I get feeds from anime sites. =) They really are quite sharp when it comes to anime news. Anime News Network is a good anime site that has syndicated feeds.

Yes, anime news is a good one to visit. Definately one of the few that I trust to provide up to date and accurate information. :)

lol I'm thinking the age of magazine subscriptions has passed. Everyone seems to prefer online sources.

I subscribe to syndicated feeds from anime news sites. They stream into my LiveJournal, and I'm thoroughly updated with the latest.^^

You know, I keep meaning to subscribe to some feeds and never seem to get around to it. Which sites' feeds do you subscribe to?
