Yuri and Victor – The Best Part of Yuri!!! On Ice

November 17, 2016January 20, 2018 Michaela

I know I said I’d watch and review more OVA’s, but then I came across the gem of an anime that is Yuri!!! On Ice, and this show is so great. I don’t normally watch sports anime, but every episode … Continue reading Yuri and Victor – The Best Part of Yuri!!! On Ice

Video games have proven to be a difficult medium to adapt into films. With most falling flat for a variety of reasons, the only medium that seems to be able to handle the content most effectively is anime. Anime adaptations … Continue reading When Do Anime Adaptations of Video Games Work Best?

Chrono Trigger Review: A Nostalgic Epic

October 1, 2016January 20, 2018 Michaela

The risk of playing an older game that’s widely adored by its fans (cough cough Final Fantasy VII cough cough) is that sometimes it can give newcomers unrealistic expectations. The game is expected to be amazing because of the nostalgia … Continue reading Chrono Trigger Review: A Nostalgic Epic

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.
