Kevin "TPMX" Alvarez: Anime/Gaming News Writer Anime/Gaming Reviewer	Kevin Alvarez (TMPX) met Evan while working as the Media Manager for the latter's local anime club. Pretty soon, he was writing news articles and reviews for this humble site, providing a perspective on the more modern, moe-centered fanbase.
Josh Christoffers (Phreak) News Writer Reviewer	Due to being torn between the love of games and anime Phreak spends a lot of his time playing catch up with anime. (His love for kicking others in the face usually beats out sitting down to watch a good anime.) An avid Hip-Hop listener who can't stand the word "bling," Phreak finds himself an outcast among his peers. His distaste for everything not him spills over quite frequently into rants of walking contradictions and paint-like splatters of random curse words that he may frequently have just made up. God save you if you read the words that come out of his brain.
Ken "Tare Panda" Farnaso: Writer	One of The Oracle's friends, Tare Panda was an early contributor to Ani-Gamers, who officially resigned from his post on November 21, 2004.
Scott "ConnorCoon" Gordon: Gaming Reviewer	ConnerCoon has been hooked on video games ever since he got his first Nintendo game system at the tender age of five. Two decades, multiple gaming systems, and several attempts at a social life later, he's still fascinated, and probably always will be. Oh yeah, he developed a knack for writing somewhere along the way, too. With a special spot in his heart for RPGs and action-platformers, he's ready to let you know what he thinks about the latest games! ...And still has no social life.
Kevin "The RP Phantom" Lyman: Writer Forum Mod	Kevin (a.k.a. The RP Phantom) is a friend of Vampt Vo who has written a couple articles for the site. He is not currently on active staff duty, though Evan is determined to get him back into writing.
Maxwell "Pigeonflu" McGee: Gaming News Writer Gaming Reviewer	Maxwell has been a gaming enthusiast since the days of Sonic the Hedgehog 2 for the Genesis. While currently an advertising major, he has high hopes of writing professionally about this digital time waster we love so much. He considers himself an easy going guy and will try just about anything with an open mind. Most of his gaming time is split between the PC and 360, though he does enjoy all of the major consoles. His favorite genre would be either fighters or turn-based strategy titles, while conversely harboring a dislike for most MMORPGs.
Paul "The Oracle" Mucha: Contributing Editor Forum Admin	The Oracle is one of Evan's best friends, who has helped organize and write Ani-Gamers since its inception. He has written reviews and news articles before, but is most known for his massive contributions to character bios, episode summaries, and the like. (most notably Azumanga Daioh and Evangelion)
Kevin "Naitsu" Ortegano: Gaming News Writer	Kevin, or Naitsu mostly contributes to the news section. He is most notable for his broad (and often strange) tastes and interests. For instance, he may be playing a game like Wario Ware: Smooth Moves as a morning game, and Gears of War as an afternoon game whilst listening to Justin Timberlake one minute, and Dying Fetus the next. He enjoys reading e-mails and talking to the community, so if you want to speak to him, he's all ears.
Alex Osborn Contributing News Editor	What Alex lacks in anime knowledge, he makes up for in his devotion to the video game industry. In hopes of one day becoming a video game journalist, Alex lives to share his opinion with the rest of the gaming community. If you have any questions/comments for him or simply want to talk about games, Alex is always down. In fact, he may enjoy discussing games even more than playing them.
Jessa "MimixRose" Rose: Anime/Manga Reviewer	Jessa has been an anime fan for 11 years, a cosplayer for 9 years, and a writer her entire life. Though her ambitions are more aimed at the Broadway stage, Anime is not just a hobby to her, it's like her second universe. She is an avid fan of shojo, but only if it meets her standards (which, let's face it, aren't very high when it comes to anime). Not only does she watch anime and write, she loves reading manga and gaming, her favorite games being Siren, Rule of Rose, and Silent Hill 2. She's always happy to listen to other people's suggestions and ideas, so don't let her crazy randomness scare you away from her. ^.^
Erik "Kahuna" Villaluz: Writer	This staff member is one of Evan's friends, and he mostly contributes to the News Blog. Kahuna is best known for posting offbeat gaming news. He is a prominent member of the homebrew community.
