Contact / Info
Boris and Jessi have been watching anime since before it was sold at Best Buy. Basically, this means that they don't think that Naruto is the beginning and end of all things (they learned their lesson with Dragonball Z).
Jessi has a degree in Japaneses language and culture. Basically, this means that she's dressed like a shrine maiden while she's eating Pocky and watching and reviewing anime. As far as she's concerned, this website, anime and the internet are all serious business. Contact her at Jessi AT s1e1 DOT com.
Boris has a vague interest in web design (every bit of code for this site was written in a text editor), and is generally a pretentious jerk like that. Basically, this means that he'll punch you in the face if you ask him about Naruto. He always speaks in hyperbole (except when he's writing reviews), so don't take anything he says seriously. Contact him at Boris AT s1e1 DOT com.
