It’s pretty sad how much I’ve neglected this site over the years. There’s been so much content that I’ve never gotten around to creating/adding/fixing/revising/etc. Sections such as the series and music guides have gone on bare and broken. I look at what’s in store for the fandom, and I see an imminent resurgence at hand [...]
