Vampires, Psychic Kids, and Goku Meeting God — The Anime Now! August 2016 Archive

Hey 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.

Here is the second batch containing all the articles during Anime Now!’s first third month 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!
