Best Anime Openings- “REGISTER,” ASCA

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

Best Anime Openings/Endings – “KISS OF DEATH,” Mika Nakashima x Hyde

May 22, 2018 Michaela

My experience with Darling in the Franxx has been full of surprises. I thought for sure I wouldn’t like this show. “Boys and girls piloting mechas in overtly sexual positions?! What a stupid ploy to have a ton of fan … Continue reading Best Anime Openings/Endings – “KISS OF DEATH,” Mika Nakashima x Hyde

Best Anime Openings/Endings – “Shinzou no Sasageyo,” Linked Horizon

April 26, 2017April 27, 2017 Michaela

Ever since seeing the beautiful promotional poster for Attack on Titan Season 2, I jumped back onto the Attack on Titan hype train of despair and philosophy on the human condition punctuated by wonderful character moments and an epic storyline. Season … Continue reading Best Anime Openings/Endings – “Shinzou no Sasageyo,” Linked Horizon

Best Anime Openings/Endings – “Sorairo Days,” Shoko Nakagawa

August 28, 2015October 20, 2017 Michaela

For my last summer post describing much enjoyed openings and endings, my final song is “Sorairo Days”, the opening theme from Gurren Lagann. What I especially enjoy about this song, outside of the awesome chorus, is that both the opening … Continue reading Best Anime Openings/Endings – “Sorairo Days,” Shoko Nakagawa

Best Anime Openings/Endings – “Colors,” Flow

August 21, 2015October 20, 2017 Michaela

I may not have enjoyed the first season of Code Geass, but I would be lying if I said I didn’t enjoy the opening. It’s fast paced and extremely catchy. The opening of the show itself isn’t terrible either, with … Continue reading Best Anime Openings/Endings – “Colors,” Flow

Best Anime Openings/Endings – “Tank!,” The Seatbelts

August 14, 2015October 20, 2017 Michaela

“Tank!” is a really iconic, memorable opening, largely due to the lack of lyrics. The opening relies purely on the music to carry it, and it’s an unusual thing for an opening to do. Despite how unusual it is, it … Continue reading Best Anime Openings/Endings – “Tank!,” The Seatbelts

Best Anime Openings/Endings – “Flyers,” Bradio

August 7, 2015October 20, 2017 Michaela

“Flyers” is a fast, jazzy dance-inducing opening song that has nothing to do with the dark, morbid premise behind Death Parade. Because of this, “Flyers” is an extremely catchy song to listen to, and the opening itself is quite humorous … Continue reading Best Anime Openings/Endings – “Flyers,” Bradio

Best Anime Openings/Endings – “Resonance,” T.M. Revolution

July 24, 2015October 20, 2017 Michaela

I’ve always enjoyed “Resonance” ever since I first watched the opening. The song’s dark, dance-like rhythm is exciting, and the characters dancing at times are unusual but memorable. The opening is sprinkled with some exciting action, creating a great opening … Continue reading Best Anime Openings/Endings – “Resonance,” T.M. Revolution

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.
