T-shirt slogans, Black Clover, and…Diet Coke? Yes, these topics are all connected, as ways we can fool ourselves.

Matthew G is interested in things. Many of them anime-related. He’s also trying todevelop a taste for manga as time allows. Since his start as a long-winded, scatter-brained hobby blogger two years ago, Matthew has become the swashbuckler-in-chief for Team Anchester of the TangleCast, where he can be found taking shonen far too seriously, staring squinty-eyed at modern culture, and harping on the supremacy of God. So, like, your grandpa + anime.

Thank you for all the work you’ve done for us both as a podcaster and writer. We’ll sorely miss you here. God bless!
Noooo! Matthew, I am exceedingly grateful for all of the wisdom you’ve given me through your Anchester Tanglecast. You will definitely be missed by all of us. Please keep in touch. It would be a shame if we never got to see you again. Pop into the discord some time. I know everyone would love to chat with you. I’ll be praying for you in all of your future endeavors. Thank you again.
Sincerely,
Tyler
I’m so sad you are leaving because I recently joined the community, and I have been so blessed by the few podcasts I’ve been able to listen to. Thank you so much for all of your work, Matthew.
Thank you so much for all of your time and effort and sacrifice you have made here. We will miss you and your insights, Matthew! God bless you!
