As part of the Spirituality in the Anime Blogosphere series of posts, each week, Beneath the Tangles links to writings about anime and manga that involve religion and spirituality. If you’ve written such a piece or know of one, please email TWWK if you’d like it included.
For so many years in search of a christian anime blogger I finally found one! Anyway I’m not yet baptist as a christian but I’m planning to be one. 🙂 You’re a rare case bro, anime fans are mostly atheist.
I’m glad to hear that you’re on your way to being baptized. I hope you’ll continue growing in your faith!
There are a few others that blog and we have several writers here on the blog, so small as our numbers may be, it’s true, Christian anibloggers do exist. 😛
