I’ve been on the internet since its earliest days. With the evolution of online forums, social media platforms and content creation, the climate for discussion is larger than ever before. What you decide to talk about is generally the largest factor in the diversity of opinions you’ll happen to find, which is consequentially why anime […]

One of the hotly contested topics within the upper echelons of the anime blogging community is the critical approach.
