So, Jade come to me and told me I'd be a believer in this theory that marketing is central to anime, not just in the medium but in the stories themselves (and even in the real world). After dropping probably the best debut episode in this pod's history, I'm sold on the theory and will be leading the Jade For President club. Come find out why I'm throwing five stars all over this one!

If you haven't been reading Ride or Die, it's OK; everyone makes mistakes. But Mars (the creator behind this sweet and slightly demonic street race romance) is here to ki about his love for Novas, what it means to not want to be seen, who is the most fun to write and where he's driving this story we should all be strapped into.
