In April 2005, Animerica announced it would no longer offer a newsstand edition for sale. Instead, the title continues as an ad hoc giveaway at anime conventions and as quarterly digest-size compendium given away free at Borders and Waldenbooks stores. The last newsstand issue appeared in June 2005.

Animerica uses a non-standard romanization system (a modified form of the Hepburn system), replacing the macrons used in Hepburn with circumflexes.
