Industry Focus

Branson has been a professional writer since 2022. In his time writing, he's written for DualShockers, GameRant, and ScreenRant. He's covered everything from the latest skill moves on FIFA (or EA FC) to best anime you need to be watching right now.

Author Details

Branson is a Senior Staff Writer for ScreenRant. Anime has been a part of his life since he was able to raise his hands in the air for a Spirit Bomb. 
When he's not watching anime, he's practicing (playing too much) FIFA, trying to get the Ronaldo Chop down to a science. 

Favorite Media

Branson loves anime like a dog loves a bone. He's watched over 1,800 hours of anime and he's not entirely sure how he feels about that. His favorites are Dragon Ball Z (obviously), Bocchi the Rock!, and Haikyuu!!. 

If you're looking for an anime to watch right now, Branson strongly suggests Bocchi the Rock!. If you're not looking for an anime to watch right now, Branson is pretty insistent you check out Bocchi the Rock!.
