Hi y’all, I’m Tam — the voice behind The Anime Momma Blog (TAMB). I’m a wife, a new mom, a veteran teacher, and a lifelong anime fan.
If you’re new to anime and aren’t quite sure what it is, don’t worry—you are absolutely in the right place.
Anime is an animated storytelling medium that ranges from lighthearted adventures and wholesome family stories to deeply emotional dramas and complex fantasy worlds. Some anime are wonderful for younger viewers and families, while others require a bit more discernment.
