otakiva— About Otakiva

Otakiva is an independent editorial project about anime and manga, founded in 2026 by Roberto Gomez. We cover releases, retrospectives, and analysis with a focus on the Spanish-speaking perspective.

How it started

I started Otakiva in January 2026 after years of noticing that most anime coverage in Spanish is just late translations from US media. I wanted a place where analysis came from a Hispanic cultural context and where reviews weren't limited to plot summaries.

I live in Buenos Aires, I've been watching anime since 2000, and I started this project during the pandemic lockdown. My all-time favorites include Dragon Ball, One Piece, and Death Note, and I'm particularly interested in 90s animation.
