As part of the Something More 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.
Uh, the thing about Haibane Renmei you have credited to me is not mine (it links to another blog entirely). Might want to fix that.
Woops. I don’t know how I confused your blog with Nick’s. Must’ve mixed them up as I was reading both his post and yours regarding Anime Expo. -_-‘
I look forward to the next time this blog covers the Madoka franchise.

Thanks for the kind words. I’m actually going to the theater tonight to watch the film. I’m sure I’ll have something to say!
