Scoring the Best and Worst Anime I’ve Seen Round 9

April 1, 2016March 4, 2017 Michaela

I’ve been somewhat lazy about watching anime that isn’t Dragon Ball Z Kai lately, but here are some of the shows that I got around to seeing out of obsession or by making sure I was with friends to keep … Continue reading Scoring the Best and Worst Anime I’ve Seen Round 9

Scoring the Best and Worst Anime I’ve Seen (Dragon Ball Z Kai Edition Part 1)

March 4, 2016March 4, 2017 Michaela

The anime I’ve been watching the most consistently as of late has been Dragon Ball Z Kai. It’s a fun show with some solid action making it impossible to deny the series’ contributions on the anime industry. Because this is … Continue reading Scoring the Best and Worst Anime I’ve Seen (Dragon Ball Z Kai Edition Part 1)

How Recap Episodes Ruin Anime

October 23, 2015January 20, 2018 Michaela

I’ve been noticing the common recurrence of the recap episode inserted halfway through an anime. Essentially retelling the story within a single episode, recap episodes give the illusion of being important, and I used to watch them specifically for that … Continue reading How Recap Episodes Ruin Anime

Scoring the Best and Worst Anime I’ve Seen Round 8

October 10, 2015March 4, 2017 Michaela

I’ve been sitting on reviewing several of these anime for a while now, but now I’ve finally found the time to post these scores. As always, these scores are based on quality and whether or not I’d recommend these shows … Continue reading Scoring the Best and Worst Anime I’ve Seen Round 8

Best Anime Openings/Endings – “Sorairo Days,” Shoko Nakagawa

August 28, 2015October 20, 2017 Michaela

For my last summer post describing much enjoyed openings and endings, my final song is “Sorairo Days”, the opening theme from Gurren Lagann. What I especially enjoy about this song, outside of the awesome chorus, is that both the opening … Continue reading Best Anime Openings/Endings – “Sorairo Days,” Shoko Nakagawa

Best Anime Openings/Endings – “Colors,” Flow

August 21, 2015October 20, 2017 Michaela

I may not have enjoyed the first season of Code Geass, but I would be lying if I said I didn’t enjoy the opening. It’s fast paced and extremely catchy. The opening of the show itself isn’t terrible either, with … Continue reading Best Anime Openings/Endings – “Colors,” Flow

Best Anime Openings/Endings – “Tank!,” The Seatbelts

August 14, 2015October 20, 2017 Michaela

“Tank!” is a really iconic, memorable opening, largely due to the lack of lyrics. The opening relies purely on the music to carry it, and it’s an unusual thing for an opening to do. Despite how unusual it is, it … Continue reading Best Anime Openings/Endings – “Tank!,” The Seatbelts

Best Anime Openings/Endings – “Flyers,” Bradio

August 7, 2015October 20, 2017 Michaela

“Flyers” is a fast, jazzy dance-inducing opening song that has nothing to do with the dark, morbid premise behind Death Parade. Because of this, “Flyers” is an extremely catchy song to listen to, and the opening itself is quite humorous … Continue reading Best Anime Openings/Endings – “Flyers,” Bradio

Best Anime Openings/Endings – “Strength,” Abingdon Boys School

July 31, 2015March 4, 2017 Michaela

My second song from Soul Eater, this is the fourth and final ending called “Strength”. My favorite among the ending themes from the show, the piano is driving and melodic. The ending is admittedly strange to watch seeing as how … Continue reading Best Anime Openings/Endings – “Strength,” Abingdon Boys School

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.
