Please understand that the Answerman receives more questions than he can answer, so he can not answer them all. He never answers questions that indicate that the person asking the question is too lazy to look up a very simple piece of information; ie: “How many episodes is Cowboy Bebop?” Please understand though, that due to the sheer number of questions he receives, there still isn’t room to answer every legitimate question in the column.
If Answerman does not answer your question you can always try asking in our forums, there are a lot of knowledgeable people in there, and if your question goes unanswered the editors will probably take a look at it. During our first year of operation we were very proud of the fact that every question sent to us was answered. Unfortunately, as the popularity of Anime News Network grew, so did the number of questions. If we were to answer just half of the questions sent our way, we wouldn’t have enough time to work on the site itself. It pains us to say this, but… Please do not send questions about anime, anime companies, etc… to the editors (or newsroom for that matter), they will not be answered.
