In The Otaku Encyclopedia, Patrick Galbraith claims that anime fandom can be split into five groups based on the decade in which they first became fans. I myself belong to the fourth group, the late 90’s/Toonami generation. As far as fans go, we late 90’s kids had it pretty easy.

(Promise preforming at AniFusion) It’s a few hours before the AniFusion event, and I’m using the free time to visit the Image Anime store at 242 West 30th Street. From the exterior, the store would have been easy enough to pass right by without a second thought. A simple pane of glass with the name of the store painted on are all that mark...

(I’m reviewing this show as part of Reverse Thieves’ Secret Santa Project.) Chiyo Mihama/Tsukasa Hiiragi/Yui Hirasawa/Matsuri Sakuragi/Mika Inamori/Yuno is a shy, polite, hardworking girl attending school with her friends. Most of the situations the group end up in are a result of the energetic Tomo Takino/Konata Izumi/Ritsu Tainaka/Miu Matsuoka/Kana...
