July 17, 2017April 15, 2025 Michaela

Scoring the Best and Worst Anime I’ve Seen Round 11

June 24, 2017June 30, 2017 Michaela

Princess Jellyfish: 3.2/5 Princess Jellyfish was a pretty cute anime overall. The animation was good, and the first couple of episodes were very strong and memorable. Unfortunately, the story gets bogged down by a needless political/romantic side plot that nobody … Continue reading Scoring the Best and Worst Anime I’ve Seen Round 11

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.
