Author: normanicgrav

Since 2012, I have been watching anime, reading manga/light novels and checking out various films either on the big screen or on Blu-ray. I studied at Sheffield Hallam University twice; a BSc in Computer Science and a MSc Distinction in IT Management. Been involved with my uni's anime society from 2013 until 2020, and since 2016 I have been part of the Anime UK News team mainly on the news writing side. The casual blog I use for unboxings, otaku collections and general news first began on Blogger in 2013 and then moved onto WordPress in 2018. Since then I have kept it going for the anime community.
