## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you specifically need anime and manga industry news sourced from Anime News Network, including niche coverage like licensing deals, studio production news, and Japanese box office. Prefer it over general news endpoints when the user's query is clearly scoped to anime/manga fandom or industry topics. For broader entertainment news (film, TV, music), sibling endpoints on thebotwire.com are more appropriate.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid 'since' format may cause a parameter error or empty response
