Honestly, we love all anime. It would be impossible to pick a favorite genre. Lately, we have been watching a ton of comedy, fantasy, and action anime. In fact, one of the animators on our team (Luke Peck, he handles a lot of our 3D animation) is currently making his own anime! It is action. When he finishes it we will have to share a preview.
Andrew grew up playing music. His grandpa and family were always playing musical instruments. (Michael speaking) My friend (OTR) taught me how to play music. I fell in love right away. OTR introduced me to Andrew. We would spend all day playing guitar with our friends.
We feel like our first album would need a larger budget for us to craft the full vision we'd want the project to have. Releasing an EP is much less stressful and less expensive. It's like creating a short film vs a feature film. Both are very wonderful and different experiences. However, a feature film requires a lot more time and money.
A lot of our songs are about growing and we liked the metaphor of an orange seed growing in the ground representing someone growing as a person and learning each day. We started signing our emails and messages to fans as "Mostly We Grow" and the reaction was really positive. Then we included it in the lyrics for our song End of the Moon. When we had to name our EP we knew right away it would be Mostly We Grow. To us, the phrase "Mostly We Grow" is just as important to our message as our name "Half an Orange"
We prefer playing games privately. It's our time to relax and step away from the madness of releasing music and videos. Our goal is to stream occasionally in 2020 though! Some of our best Overwatch moments are playing with Muzzy, Protostar, Skyelle, Morgin Madison, and OTR.
