David Erickson

David (known in most places online as @Data_Error) has been writing video essays about video games, anime, and all manner of geeky media since 2018, joining Geek to Geek two years later. Forged in early-aughts fanfiction and play-by-post role-playing games, he continues to write regularly about everything from creature design for felow Pokémaniacs to the strucural positivity of Yuru Camp. His coffee-making routine is entirely too complicated for his own good.

[Keywords] Stars Align and Rock Bottom

Stars Align is available on Hulu and on Funimation’s website. Everybody loves a comeback story. Someone gets up and fights back when they’re down and against the ropes? That’s inspiring. There’s good reason why basically every sports story uses it to some degree or another. But to get back up…
