Even with "easy access to all the [anime] sites on the internet now" (Prak, 2007), it may save you time if you avoid the hourly RSS checking for a few months.
Does anyone have a subscription to an anime/manga magazine? Does anybody have recommendations for a good one? I myself am partial to Newtype (which is apparently far superior to Animage).
What are you sources?

Avoid:
though I usually look at youtube and look for some that doesn’t seem familiar…
Seriously:
I usually go to Animenation and ask opinions on different anime/manga titles.
I never really got into the monthly Manga serials or mags. Mostly ’cause they’re full of ads rather than content. Most of the time I just go about the way I’ve always chosen titles. Pick-up an interesting manga and read the first few pages. If I get into it, I buy it.
With anime, I read the plot summary on the back, and buy it if it sounds like a good anime to watch.
