Editorial Policy & Standards

Aniwaves exists to help readers make informed anime choices. We prioritize original context, primary source verification, and factual accuracy above all else.

1. Primary Sourcing

Evidence-Led Journalism

Every release guide, hiatus update, and news report must trace back to official studio announcements (Toei, MAPPA, Wit, Ufotable), Japanese broadcast schedules, or primary news outlets. Unverified rumors are explicitly identified as speculation.

2. AI Transparency

Responsible AI & Automation

AI models assist our editorial desk in research aggregation, structure drafting, and formatting. AI system guardrails enforce strict factual compliance: AI is prohibited from inventing false dates, fake voice actors, or unconfirmed streaming licenses.

3. Corrections

Fact Correction Policy

When material facts change or an error is identified, our editorial desk immediately updates the article content, adjusts the publication timestamp, and maintains an internal correction log for full accountability.

Quality Assessment & Scoring Standard

Before any article is published on Aniwaves, it undergoes an automated 100-point E-E-A-T quality audit. Articles must satisfy strict editorial criteria:

Minimum Word Depth: Articles must contain at least 1,200 words of comprehensive reader context.
Source Linkage: Must include a dedicated ## Sources & Attribution section with live primary URLs.
Media Attachments: Must include high-resolution official press imagery and verified trailer media.
Structure & Layout: Must contain an Executive Summary (TL;DR), proper H2 section hierarchy, and clean semantic markup.
