Know Your Anime and Manga Demographic Groups
There are thousands upon thousands of manga magazines in Japan, and they each are made to appeal to a certain demographic based on gender and age. So whenever a new manga (or anime) comes into the fold, it is quickly assigned a demographic so it can be pitched to the correct magazine or television time slot. It will be either shonen, seinen, shojo, josei, or kodomo-muke.

Physical 100: Season 2 Review: Another Round of Excitement!
I've been following Physical: 100, a Korean reality TV show, since its first season, and I must say, Season 2 didn't disappoint. It offers something refreshingly different from what I've experienced before. However, one aspect that left me a bit disappointed was the Hindi dubbing.

[Opinion] An Open Letter: Dear Miriam Margolyes...
"I worry about Harry Potter fans because they should be over that by now..." If you're not the kind of person who keeps one eye on news from the world of Harry Potter as I do, you might not have heard these words come out of the mouth of Ms. Miriam Margolyes who played Professor Pomona Sprout, head of Hufflepuff House, in the Harry Potter series. Fans are understandably upset by these words, which are yet another set of words from people behind the Harry Potter series that only serve to alienate the people for whom these stories are an important and integral part of life. I am one of those people, one of those who found a home in the pages of a story about a boy wizard and his snowy owl. I am one of those people who Ms. Margolyes has criticised and hurt with her words, inasmuch as someone can be hurt by the words of someone they don't know.

Queen of Tears K-drama Review: Love in Every Scene
Hey everyone, I hope you're well. So, I wanted to talk about the new K-drama, "Queen of Tears," which dropped on Netflix on March 9th. But then I got very angry when I couldn't find the Hindi version. Netflix said it was coming, but at the end, Netflix made an April Fool.
