You wouldn’t judge a book by its cover, but anime is a whole different ball game. What if we reviewed anime SOLELY by their covers? Would these reviews be accurate? If so, why? Anime, moreso than other works in other media, seem “truer” to their marketing material, and it is our hypothesis that one truly can “review” anime to a great degree solely by their covers.
Rym and Scott are featured panelists every year at Anime Boston, and used to also perform at Otakon (between 2002 and 2009). They produce Geeknights, Radio Free Equestria, and Geeknights Presents: Shoujo Kakumei Utena.
