| 2:20am | Anime at school |  | | | Back when I first started getting into anime about seven years ago, I never thought that you could bring your passion for anime into the realm of school work, at least not here in the US.

Over the years, through Anime Music Videos.org and brief viewings at cons, I’ve managed to find only... | | |
