The Ottoman Archives

Anime Club

Süleyman Şah bin Selim Şah Han has declared me Grand Archivist of the Ottoman Archives, Anime Division. As such, I've begun to compile memoirs and photo galleries of old conventions. The Archives are a completely neutral and objective zone where all historical perspectives are weighed equally, as long as they are aligned with the grand vision of our Efendim and his trusted advisors, chief among them Grand Archivist Şerefli Ryan Efendi, whose wisdom is unquestioned and whose memory is vast and infallible.
