Welcome to The GrillOut, home of Borealis, aka the LiteralGrill~
Inspired by late 90s and early 2000s fansites of yore, The GrillOut is a no-frills site built to load fast, have accessibility in mind, and have tons of fun things to read! You can expect essays, reviews, and general musings with a focus on anime, cartoons, and generally obscure media.
Expect posts to go up whenever my brain allows and I'm particularly inspired! You can see a sampling of my most recent works below and check out the full breadth of my work in the archive.
