Best Anime Openings- “Akeboshi,” LiSA

May 2, 2023May 25, 2023 Michaela

My thoughts on Demon Slayer have shifted quite a bit recently. I’ll save the story of how my opinion’s changed and why for another day, but the short version is, I didn’t love Season 1 when I first watched it. … Continue reading Best Anime Openings- “Akeboshi,” LiSA

Tsukishima and Yamaguchi – The Best Part of Haikyuu!!

March 21, 2022March 18, 2022 Michaela

Sports anime is still a relatively new genre to me. I’ve seen a couple over the years (Ping Pong The Animation and Yuri!!! On Ice), but they aren’t exactly mainstream sports. Despite that, I enjoyed these shows for their realism … Continue reading Tsukishima and Yamaguchi – The Best Part of Haikyuu!!

On the podcast, I made the bold … Continue reading Music to My Ears: Caelestinum Finale Termini (Genshin Impact)

My Top 3 Favorite Anime Movies of the Decade

February 2, 2020June 10, 2020 Michaela

The idea that we’re in 2020 is strange, but what’s even stranger for me is reflecting on the past decade. A lot has happened — I was first introduced to anime in 2010, and since then, it’s been a decade … Continue reading My Top 3 Favorite Anime Movies of the Decade

November 13, 2019November 3, 2019 Michaela

Sword Art Online may have its ups and downs as a show, but overall, its openings are consistently really good, and this is true of Alicization. There are a few different versions of the opening song used throughout Sword Art … Continue reading Best Anime Openings- “REGISTER,” ASCA

Best Anime Openings/Endings- “Fatima,” Kanako Ito

November 6, 2019November 3, 2019 Michaela

What makes an anime opening work so well is the perfect combination of animation and music. The best openings, for me, have the visuals match with the music both thematically and rhythmically. At the same time, the visuals match the … Continue reading Best Anime Openings/Endings- “Fatima,” Kanako Ito

Best Anime Openings/Endings – “Red Swan,” Yoshiki feat. Hyde

August 9, 2018November 5, 2018 Michaela

A slower, piano heavy Attack on Titan opening that isn’t by Linked Horizon that still manages to be good? How is this possible? I remember being a little disappointed when I first listened to the opening and realized that it … Continue reading Best Anime Openings/Endings – “Red Swan,” Yoshiki feat. Hyde

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.
