Tim Rattray is a writer born-and-bred of the internet age, starting eight years ago as an editor for a then-prominent mobile gaming site before taking to screenwriting and more recently anime analysis. His anime origins began with Pokemon in the late ‘90s, eventually expanding to manga with Shounen Jump when the magazine first hit Western shelves in the early aughts. A casual anime viewer until 2013, he then became obsessed with the medium as an art form after feeling the American television industry had stopped financially supporting new ideas. His writing focus tends toward discussing narrative in media, a touchstone of his multi-media analytical approach. He also works as a screenwriter.
