Best Anime Openings/Endings – “Strength,” Abingdon Boys School

July 31, 2015March 4, 2017 Michaela

My second song from Soul Eater, this is the fourth and final ending called “Strength”. My favorite among the ending themes from the show, the piano is driving and melodic. The ending is admittedly strange to watch seeing as how … Continue reading Best Anime Openings/Endings – “Strength,” Abingdon Boys School

Best Anime Openings/Endings – “Ignite,” Eir Aoi

July 10, 2015March 4, 2017 Michaela

I have yet to finish the second season of Sword Art Online II, but I really enjoy listening to this song and felt I had to talk about it as soon as possible. At first, I didn’t care for “Ignite”. … Continue reading Best Anime Openings/Endings – “Ignite,” Eir Aoi

Best Anime Openings/Endings – “Let Me Hear,” Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas

July 3, 2015March 4, 2017 Michaela

“Let Me Hear” is an opening that grew on me as I watched Parasyte. Initially, I liked the driving rhythm of the beginning of the song, but as soon as the auto-tuned screaming voice entered the song I’d skip it. … Continue reading Best Anime Openings/Endings – “Let Me Hear,” Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas

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?

Zack Snyder Responds to Man of Steel’s High-Death Finale

August 30, 2013September 4, 2013 Shaun

Zack Snyder responded to Man of Steel’s finale, in which pretty much a gajillion people got murdered, half of which in the fist fight between Zod and Superman alone. Honestly, I was hoping for something close to an apology – … Continue reading Zack Snyder Responds to Man of Steel’s High-Death Finale

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.
