Hey , I hope this poll doesn’t get taken down because I’m asking for a website recommendation. I’ve been using this site since 2009 and I love it but I am interested to know if anyone knows a site I can go to that shows constant updates on new anime, Japanese music , Japanese culture , maybe information on Japanese movies ... all that good stuff !

Even if u have something close , please recommend it , I’m very interested

Sankaku Complex and Nicchiban are the first two to come to mind.

Thanks for these.

Honey's Anime is another one, OP.

My immediate thought was Anime News Network.

Why am I not surprised to see a porn site and a men´s rights activism site in the recommendations that hasn´t content that is older than 1 month and barely updates... 🤣

UpToFourPlayers pretty much won the thread. ANN is a mess BUT they know how to filter out news and report it in bulk. Just use this exact link if you don´t want to set up an account: https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/
You will immediately skip all the reviews, the articles that read like ads and the "interest" stories and will immediately get the good stuff only. I have been following anime/manga news on the web since I guess the late 90s and there is sadly no better English speaking method than this. You can even catch me in the forums.
There is also the "Anime & Manga News" section on MAL but ANN will give you all of that and then some: https://myanimelist.net/news
MAL is good at making lists for the new anime season though. Here is the current one. Stay lastly away from reddit when it comes to anime/manga anything, Jesus Christ.

I can´t really help you with Japanese film news specifically, doubly so for music. My favorite film trade is Variety. Read that one if you are into international film updates, you´ll drown in film news and credible scoops, and hope that ANN catches the rest.

Why are you recommending a site that wiped out it's entire archive and listing of anime subs? If you're going to use a site for making anime lists, use aniDB.

Ditto on this, but, if I may add on, stay away from Reddit, in general.

I don't know it is good for your demands, You can talk Japanese pop-culture and anime on 4chan.
