We have a treat for you on today’s TangleCast episode! As part of yearlong celebration of Beneath the Tangles’ tenth year, we brought back some of the original voices of the podcast, including its founder, Japes! He’s joined today by Casey, Kaze, and R86 as they share how anime has changed the direction of their lives. Not just a hobby for these four, anime has helped them see the world differently, affecting them in personal and spiritual ways, and for most of the group, has also put them on specific schooling and career paths. Join the guest crew on this special throwback episode! (Warning: Check out the time stamp below to skip a short spoiler on Fruits Basket!)

Great podcast! I enjoyed hearing everyone again. Thanks to you all for sharing your experiences 🙂
Wow. It’s so great to hear from you all again! It’s quite a blast from the past. I still remember your voice, Japes. I loved those initial podcasts, and I enjoyed your vlog style when you went to Japan. Japes, Casey, Kaze, R86, it was fantastic to see you all here as well. It’s still weird to me how massively this site has grown and prospered under God’s blessing. I always enjoyed those Ask Sensei columns, Jack. You answered a lot of my questions on that, and I really appreciated it. This discussion was fantastic. I’m glad to hear all of your stories and perspectives again. I wish I could see you all around more often than I get to. I’ll be praying for you all!
