About

What is Backstage? Think of Backstage as a history book, a book that records anime and manga related websites from around the internet.

Time goes by fast, and websites come and go... our mission is to create tributes to those websites that once flourished, or are still flourishing. We keep records of their rise and (hopefully not) fall, so they won't be forgotten by the "future generations" of internet otakus.

It doesn't matter if you are a new fan who just found your way to this scary placed called the internet, or a long-time "pioneer" of the community. We'll try our best to present you with a thorough introduction to each featured website's history, their importance and contribution to the community, as well as behind-the-scene talks with the staff.
