    Well I got an awkward remix from the start, my assignment was to do the iconic you assignment but with the twist of doing it the exact opposite; meaning the un-iconic me i suppose. So in a horrible display of my manliness I have created this: The people featured in the letters are from an ...

    Remixing in anime
