Worst Anime Tropes – The Perverted Anime Male

October 24, 2014March 4, 2017 Michaela

Anime creates a lot of unique, diverse characters that are relatable and entertaining to watch. But at the same time, there are an equal amount of characters who have some of the worst personality traits I’ve ever seen. Perhaps the … Continue reading Worst Anime Tropes – The Perverted Anime Male

Sad vs Happy Endings – Which is Better?

August 15, 2014December 18, 2014 Michaela

Note: This article is inspired by a speech I wrote for Academic Decathlon in my senior year of high school. I’ve rewritten it in article form to make it less dramatic and more concise. Enjoy! For years, I’ve been arguing … Continue reading Sad vs Happy Endings – Which is Better?

Attack on Titan: No Regrets Review

June 20, 2014March 4, 2017 Michaela

Attack on Titan’s explosive popularity has led to various spin-off series being published. From comedies to prequels, they all sounded like they’d be interesting, entertaining reads, but the one that piqued my interest the most was the spin-off titled No … Continue reading Attack on Titan: No Regrets Review

Sci-Fi Hate, and Steins;Gate

June 7, 2014January 20, 2015 Michaela

I’ve never been a huge fan of sci-fi. I know a lot of people who simply love it, but I’m not one of those people. With a few exceptions, the genre as a whole bores me to tears. It feels … Continue reading Sci-Fi Hate, and Steins;Gate

Review: Steins;Gate and the Importance of Consistency

May 16, 2014March 6, 2017 Chris

The beauty of Steins;Gate is in the details. If you’re the type of person who wants elaborate fight scenes or giant mechs in their anime, your first instinct will be to steer clear. But if you do, you’ll be missing … Continue reading Review: Steins;Gate and the Importance of Consistency

My Top 3 Favorite Chapters of Attack on Titan

April 18, 2014April 27, 2014 Michaela

I used to be that person who didn’t like manga. Preferring the colors and movement of the anime adaptations rather than the black and white drawings that were difficult to decipher, I could never see myself getting into a manga … Continue reading My Top 3 Favorite Chapters of Attack on Titan

February 26, 2014April 6, 2014 Michaela

FUNimation has announced that they will reveal the English cast for Attack on Titan in March.

Reviews: Scoring The Best And Worst Anime I’ve Seen Round 2

January 8, 2014June 24, 2017 Michaela

Since the Internet has been nonexistent for the past few months, it’s been a slow process to watch more anime shows and score them. As a result, this list is going to be a lot shorter than the last, but … Continue reading Reviews: Scoring The Best And Worst Anime I’ve Seen Round 2

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.
