An Explanation of the Overarching Narrative in Kingdom Hearts

March 13, 2015March 4, 2017 Michaela

Some people would argue that the plot of Kingdom Hearts has become rather convoluted over the years. However, with every installment, I’m seeing a concise, overarching narrative coming together. The more I revisit the games, it’s only plain to see … Continue reading An Explanation of the Overarching Narrative in Kingdom Hearts

I’ve been able to watch quite a bit of anime lately, but thanks to college life, I can’t plow through nearly as many series as I would like to. My list of recommended anime continues to expand and if you … Continue reading Scoring the Best and Worst Anime I’ve Seen Round 6

Superhero Hate, and My Hero Academia

February 13, 2015March 27, 2015 Michaela

I’ve made it a goal of mine to try and read more manga series because, while Attack on Titan is fantastic, I feel like I’m missing out in opportunities to experience other well-written, exciting stories. I asked my friends to … Continue reading Superhero Hate, and My Hero Academia

Why I Hate Love Triangles

January 30, 2015March 7, 2017 Michaela

Love triangles are among one of the most commonly used plot devices in modern young adult fiction, and the source of their popularity and implications irk me to no end. The overused, run-in-the-ground love triangle has a long history, recognized … Continue reading Why I Hate Love Triangles

As always, these scores are based on my experiences watching the show and whether or not I would recommend them to fellow anime fans. Psycho-Pass (Season 1): 9/10 Psycho-Pass shines through its unique setting, fascinating premise and story. The characters … Continue reading Scoring the Best and Worst Anime I’ve Seen Round 5

Over The Garden Wall Review

December 19, 2014May 25, 2016 Michaela

I don’t usually write long reviews for the shows I watch, because typically I can get out my opinions in about a paragraph and move on. But for shows like Over The Garden Wall, it demands all of my attention … Continue reading Over The Garden Wall Review

My Love-Hate Relationship with Twilight Princess

November 21, 2014January 20, 2018 Michaela

Eight years ago (I feel old), if you had asked me what my favorite Zelda game was, without hesitation, I would have answered with Twilight Princess. At the time, I appreciated the gritty realism, terrifying enemy designs, fun boss battles … Continue reading My Love-Hate Relationship with Twilight Princess

Professor Layton vs. Phoenix Wright Review: The First 10 Hours

September 2, 2014November 23, 2014 Michaela

When Professor Layton vs. Phoenix Wright was first announced two years ago, I remember squealing like a little girl who’s just learned she’s going to Disneyland for her birthday in excitement.

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.
