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.
Thanks for the link. As I recal the mystical nature of Key becomes more and more apparent as the series goes on.
I feel almost like I need to stay away from your blog, because it keeps giving me ideas of shows I need to watch or rewatch when I already have a backlog! Hehe.
🙂
In my crazier moments I’m thinking about doing a couple of longer series on a one episode per week basis: Fushigi Yuigi and Patlabor spring to mind…
Yes, crazy indeed! You should get a prize for completing either!
I’ve always wanted to watch both, so I’d be tempted to follow along if you decide to do one or the other.
