Here at Ani-Gamers, we run some recurring columns, in which our bloggers provide unique perspectives on anime, manga, and video game products and culture. They cover a variety of topics, and range from the analytical to the silly, so we hope you'll be able to find something that suits your fancy. [NOTE: more columns are coming very soon!]
Currently Running Columns
Drunken Otaku
"Drunken Otaku" Home PageWith a fondness for watching portrayals of people making asses of themselves via the drink, Drunken Otaku seeks to share the love and make you laugh. This column will lift its editorial glass to the great drunkards of anime, manga, and video games via short, trading card-like profiles; recall inspiring moments involving characters who over-imbibe; and unlike the rest of the very polished reviews here on Ani-Gamers, offer (hopefully funny) sloppy, drunken, stream of conscious reactions to whatever’s in the DVD player, on the computer screen, under a reading lamp, or controlled by hands which have obviously confused a controller for a glass.
Latest Column: What It Takes to Be King – Fate/Zero Episode 11 - 04.06.12Snapshots
"Snapshots" Home PageSnapshots is a regular column here at Ani-Gamers in which one of our writers chooses a moment from some anime, manga, game, or other media that really made an impact on them in the past month. It's a valuable chance to compare the subjective ways in which we all experience and analyze media.
Latest Column: Dramatis Personae - 05.21.12The Trap Door
"The Trap Door" Home PageFor every anime released to acclaim and cheers, there are the few that slip beneath the radar, or worse still, get pelted with eggs. Are they really THAT forgettable? The Trap Door, written by Phillip O'Connor, aims to answer just that question. Titles that fall under its purview stand on the trap door of fandom. Do they get to escape or will they fall, to be lost for all eternity (or until some other unlucky sod finds them)?
