As consummate anime watchers, I think that we can all agree that too often a good show has a horrible ending. Whether it be Deus Ex Machina, victory through the power of friendship, or not seeing your shipping get together, the shows of Japan have trouble leaving us with a satisfying conclusion in the long run. . . is that stereotyping?

That’s right, we’re calling out all the shows that think you’re dumb and they’ll spoon-feed you the very story they’re trying to tell. Get to book-learni...

A little less than ten years ago, something like anime was a foreign concept in America. HA! I made a pun! Somewhere along the line, someone had the idea to take two cultures and clash them into modern day media. Now, you can’t look at much pop-culture without seeing an anime influence or counterpart! I’ve always wondered if Japan has had American conventions in the same way we’ve adopted their culture . . . Time to monopolize everything!
