Best Anime Openings- “Akeboshi,” LiSA

May 2, 2023May 25, 2023 Michaela

My thoughts on Demon Slayer have shifted quite a bit recently. I’ll save the story of how my opinion’s changed and why for another day, but the short version is, I didn’t love Season 1 when I first watched it. … Continue reading Best Anime Openings- “Akeboshi,” LiSA

Tsukishima and Yamaguchi – The Best Part of Haikyuu!!

March 21, 2022March 18, 2022 Michaela

Sports anime is still a relatively new genre to me. I’ve seen a couple over the years (Ping Pong The Animation and Yuri!!! On Ice), but they aren’t exactly mainstream sports. Despite that, I enjoyed these shows for their realism … Continue reading Tsukishima and Yamaguchi – The Best Part of Haikyuu!!

Top 22 Video Games for the Nintendo Switch

January 17, 2022March 17, 2022 Michaela

I didn’t always have a preference for handheld consoles. I grew up playing games like Super Smash Bros. Melee and Mario Kart: Double Dash!!, games that required a home console. Which was fine and good — except that our house … Continue reading Top 22 Video Games for the Nintendo Switch

Gray Areas

Gray Areas is a pop culture extravaganza with a live weekly podcast every Thursday night, daily Let's Play videos, and a bevy of old blog posts for your enjoyment.

The current crew includes Chris, Dave and Shaun, who have been there since the beginning, and Cody, who joined in 2021. We also have other contributors like Michaela who chip in from time to time.

We cover everything from video games, anime and movies to music, books and idiots in the news.

This whole thing was started as At the Buzzer in February 2011, the brainchild of three men desperate for attention. It became Objection Network in 2017 and then this in 2024. It’s slightly related to an old Flagstaff radio show from 2008, kinda like how Frasier was slightly related to Cheers. In other words, we're all getting old and it's a little depressing.
