What is The Epic Journey?
The Epic Journey is a series of posts that began in mid-December of 2008 and is intended to span the entire life of this blog. The duty of these posts is to analyze each of my favorite anime to try and decipher exactly what it is that makes these anime so special to me so that I can reach the highest form of fandom for a given show. The Epic Journey is never truly complete – as I see fit to find more things to say about an anime, I will continue the journey. Some of the posts in the Epic Journey are written specifically for the series whereas others are posts that I deemed to be worthy of a place in the series.
In order to get a true grasp of the history and meaning behind the Epic Journey, you must read the Introduction, which is HERE. It is linked to in the beginning of each epic journey post as well.
