Best Anime Openings/Endings – “Magia,” Kalafina

June 26, 2015March 4, 2017 Michaela

While the ending video of “Magia” is simplistic to watch – despite its admittedly good job of foreshadowing the direction the narrative takes – I’m choosing this song more for its application in Madoka Magica. Within minutes of the first … Continue reading Best Anime Openings/Endings – “Magia,” Kalafina

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.
