The Quick and the Queer – Short LGBT+ Book Reviews, pt 1

January 17, 2017March 10, 2017 M Webber

  (I promise the above picture of Sufjan Stevens is at least sort of relevant. Kind of. *squint*) Because I have decided to have absolutely no chill in the Year of our Lord 2017, I’ve already read four books since … Continue reading The Quick and the Queer – Short LGBT+ Book Reviews, pt 1

Best Anime Openings/Endings – “It’s Like a Small Light,” Sayuri

January 14, 2017March 7, 2017 Michaela

I haven’t talked much about anime endings in this series of posts, but Erased’s is certainly a notable one. It takes a much more stylized direction with its art style and colors, weaving abstract images and scenes together to create … Continue reading Best Anime Openings/Endings – “It’s Like a Small Light,” Sayuri

Best Anime Openings/Endings – “Kaze no Uta,” Flow

January 7, 2017March 7, 2017 Michaela

With season 2 of Tales of Zestiria the X underway, it reminded me of how much I enjoy the opening of the first season. I’ve talked about another opening Flow has done before, and this song also proves to be … Continue reading Best Anime Openings/Endings – “Kaze no Uta,” Flow

Best Anime Openings/Endings – “H.T.,” Tsuneo Imahori

December 31, 2016March 4, 2017 Michaela

The opening of Trigun is pretty unique because of its lack of lyrics. Despite that, it’s an extremely catching and fun song to listen to. The opening itself features mostly establishing shots of the characters and the setting, although there … Continue reading Best Anime Openings/Endings – “H.T.,” Tsuneo Imahori

This semester of Anime Club introduced a bunch of new shows for me to watch, thanks to the strong selection of anime that were released in the Fall season. Dabbling in the new shows is fun, but it also gave … Continue reading Scoring the Best and Worst Anime I’ve Seen Round 10

Yuri!!! On Ice and the Importance of Representation

December 11, 2016May 10, 2017 Michaela

Something that I’ve realized while gushing over the wonderful, healthy love story between Yuri and Victor in Yuri!!! on Ice is just how important good representation of homosexual couples is in anime. It wasn’t until I started talking to friends … Continue reading Yuri!!! On Ice and the Importance of Representation

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

Anime Movie Reviews Round 4

October 31, 2016March 4, 2017 Michaela

These latest anime films that I’ve watched have largely been recommended by friends, so the selection may not be all that diverse. But I actually enjoyed all of these selections quite a bit this time around. Should you watch them … Continue reading Anime Movie Reviews Round 4

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.
