I didn’t post a column last week, and what a week to skip – there were a number of provocative articles regarding anime and spirituality. But that just means that this column, I’m including twice as much goodness!
Frank tells how Inari, Konkon, Koi Iroha paints a picture of the Christian relationship with God, despite it being structured in a Shinto world. [A Series of Miracles]
Medieval Otaku explores the Cain and Abel story as given in Shiki. [Medieval Otaku]
Jay gives his thoughts on the e-book, “Teenager Today – Anime Fanaticism: Is it Spiritually Harmful?” [Deremoe]
Rob talks about conforming to the things of the world (especially anime), and gives advice about conforming to thing above. [Christian Anime Review]
Last week, Lynzee Lamb gave “7 Unholy Priests” in her column, “The List.” Was there anyone you would have included that Lynzee did not? [Anime News Network]
Katie reviews Neon Genesis Evangelion from a Christian perspective. [Breaking Metal Windows]
I don’t know if this counts as “spiritual,” but it is fun: D.M. Dutcher counts down the five best moments from anime apocalypses. [Cacao, put down the shovel!]

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.
As always, thanks for the shout-out!
The third link doesn’t work, though.
Thank you, sir!
