Anime Web Turnpike (also known as Anipike) is a web directory founded in August 1995 by Jay Fubler Harvey. It serves as a large database of links to various anime and manga websites. With well over 40,000 links, it had one of the largest organized collection of anime and manga related links.[1] Users can add their own website to the database by setting up a username on the site and adding it to the category it applies to. The website also has services such as a community forum, chat room and a magazine. The Anime Broadcasting Network, Inc. acquired the Anime Web Turnpike in 2000 with plans to enhance and expand the site, but multiple technical issues delayed these plans.[1]
