J.C. Parker

J.C. Parker is our seasoned writer who has been a steadfast presence in our ranks since the very inception of letsweaboo.com.

He's our go-to expert on all things anime, from digging deep into the Bleach voice cast controversy (and actually being able to explain it in layman's terms) to analyzing latest plot twists of Jujutsu Kaisen anime adaptation and the possibility of Attack on Titan disappointing fans with the finale.

In his own words:

"I'm eagerly awaiting the epic One Piece finale, whenever that may come, all while casually exploring the world of otome adaptations and ranking the best sports anime of the last decade. Catch me on Reddit as u/jcparkerison!"

Safe to say J.C. Parker has an insatiable appetite for all things anime. You can often find him immersing himself in the latest anime releases, with his eyes wide, and his enthusiasm knows no bounds. He's been a key member of our team for years, and despite his modesty, he's become an anime fan of the highest order.

Besides knowing a lot about anime, J.C. Parker is also really good at making people laugh and. He works very hard to write great stuff for us to read.

But J.C. Parker doesn't just like anime; he also loves telling stories, learning about animation companies' history, and understanding all the tricks behind voice acting. Sometimes, he has intense arguments about the newest anime trends, and he's always in the middle of them. We bet you can find him on Reddit brutally dissecting yet another MAPPA mishap after each new Jujutsu Kaisen episode release.
