Third Impact Anime Episode #164 – An Interview with Samantha Ferreira on Anime Herald Magazine

Anime Herald Magazine Issue #1 Fall 2025 featuring art by José Salot

Coming soon to a newsstand (meaning your mailbox or email inbox) near you; Anime Herald Magazine!

Sully and Austin sit down with Samantha Ferreira, the founder and editor-in-chief of Anime Herald, to talk about her journey towards creating a brand-new anime print publication in an era where anime magazines aren’t exactly plentiful anymore. Samantha tells us how she came to found Anime Herald 15 years ago, how bringing the website to print has been a long-held dream of hers, how she assembled an amazing team of writers, artists, and editors to collaborate with, and what readers can expect from this exciting new era of anime commentary in printed form.

You can pre-order (or maybe even order by the time you’re reading this) a copy of the magazine here.
