A quick personal digression- statistics, whether in the social sciences, or elsewhere, interest me.  I’m a psychology major at the moment; a factor in some of the topics I choose to pursue on Reading Between, but statistics are still fun to look at as well.  That being said, I got a bit curious one dayContinue reading “A Quick Statistical Comparison of Popular and Acclaimed Anime”

Mob Psycho 100: A Psychosocial Look at Shigeo Kageyama
