Re:Zero, Final Fantasy, and Godzilla — The Anime Now! June-July 2016 Archive

Good news everyone. Over the coming months, I’ll be republishing every single story I wrote for Anime Now! here on biggestinjapan.com. Now I say “over the coming months” because I wrote a lot for anime now–like three articles minimum per week for a year-and-a-half. And as I’m having to upload and reformat each manually… well, yeah. It’s going to take some time to get it all ready to go.

So to start it off, our first batch. Here are links to all the articles during Anime Now!’s first two months online. Most are features or analytical articles, but there are some news articles and the like scattered in as well. I have put in bold the articles I think are the most interesting, so I hope you all enjoy!
