Tis I DuoMatrix... Huh? You are wondering who I am? I guess you could say that I am a figment of your imagination... or not. No. I am the long time absent writer of SutoraikuAnime. You might even say that I am a myth. A story told to Akinari-kun to get his "hopes" up, if you know what I mean. If you were to go and look in the archives you might just find a tresure trove of articles written by the illusive Duo.Matrix... but I digress..          .          .  Welcome to the REBIRTH of TSUN+DERE!

This is an interesting and rather relevant article I stumbled upon while browsing through Kotaku, shedding some light on the much-talked-about issue of English-speaking regions not having access to those epic JRPGs that we simply wish we could play, or understand for that matter.
