Our site is of course focused on finding Christian allusions and themes in anime, and oftentimes this article finds the same in other sites doing the same kind of work. And so I’m glad that this week’s links provide a little more diversity when it comes to spiritual conversation and anime:
Annalyn explores Buddhist and other religious allusions in recent episodes of Hunter x Hunter. [Annalyn’s Thoughts]
An exhibition of Buddhist art by manga artists is on display at Zojoji Temple in Tokyo’s Minato Ward. [The Asahi Shimbun]
Medieval Otaku reposted an article from March in which iblessall outlines a Catholic viewing of Noragami. [Life, and Anime]
Rob continues his Christian-centric reviews, digging this week into Brynhildr in the Darkness [Christian Anime Review], The World Is Still Beautiful [2], and One Week Friends [3].
