Podcast Links:
- Death Parade is a favorite series of the blog’s—we visited it no less than four times in our now-retired Anime Today column alone, focusing on depression and suicide, a love relationship with the world, the human tendency to judge others, and particularly applicable to this podcast episode, judgement in the series vs. God’s judgement.
- Check out the series’ electrifying OP!
- Join our Discord to be part of the community and join in on Light Novel Club discussion!
- Take a listen to “Through the Night” by IU, a song that helps David through difficult times. Holly said that she’s moved by “Wildflower” by Park Hyo Jin and that Shane and Shane’s “The Answer” brings her joy. To relax, Peter listens for Korean R&B and songs by John Legend, like “Under the Stars.”
- If you ever have any questions, need prayer or just want to chat, feel free to reach out to any of us: David / Peter / Holly.

Not to be biased or anything, but playing Animal Crossing: New Horizons is the best way to celebrate Halloween this year.
The Halloween stuff in the game has been so much fun!! 🎃
[…] Death Parade was one of the honorable mention recommendations given—it has an all-time great opening and is generally a fantastic series that our previous TangleCast crew covered for a Halloween episode. […]
