The Shades

""I'm the Shades, and THIS is an Anime Takeover!""

- The Shades

The Shades is a reviewer and part of Reviewtopia. He has a variety of shows in which he does a variety of things. Anime Takeover is his staple series, in which he looks at anime, (mostly good but sometimes bad) in a non-caustic critic fashion. In Fandom Paradise, he looks at works created by fans. Whether it be fan art, fan games, fan fiction, or fan films. In Internet Hall of Fame, he interviews many personalities from all over the Internet. (Mostly reviewers.) And finally, in Shades' Random Reviews, he takes a look at whatever it is he feels like at the time.
