Initially, it tells the story of a duck who is given a pendant by a strange man, and the chance to live a life of a clumsy ballet student.

Angel Beats and Accepting Death

The tragic attack on Kyoto Animation was a shock to us all. I felt devastated as I read the reports, but turned a bit toward hope when I came upon the fundraiser. The people who created many of my favorite anime, such as Violet Evergarden and Tamako Market, were now reeling from the loss of… Read More Angel Beats and Accepting Death

Suletta Mercury, Part I: Stuck in the OT In part Suletta Mercury, Part I: Stuck in the OT

In part one of her meditation on Suletta Mercury, @c_1air_3 explains how the pilot misses the mark when it comes to relationships—and how we might be doing the same when it comes to our own with the Creator. Here's a sample of the article, which you can read in full on beneaththetangles.com:

"The reality is that we still often act a lot like the ancient Israelites—and not all that differently from Suletta—in our interactions with God. It seems easier, after all, to go about the life of faith as if it were a checklist of to-dos (and not to-dos); it’s more efficient to let religious leaders and voices of wisdom and authority in our life tell us what to do and define things for us, as the Israelites wanted Moses to do, and as Suletta does with her contracts, letting them determine for her who will be number one in her life. We too instrumentalize our relationship with God, like when we equate having daily 'quiet time' or hitting up church on a Sunday and maybe even mid-week small group, with living the life of faith. These things are great, and they can lead us into deeper encounter with God, but they can also easily turn into a checklist that isn’t actually accomplishing what we think it is..."

[joseph] The first month of the new year is almost [joseph] The first month of the new year is almost at an end! Remember to save that cheat meal for Superbowl weekend~ 

QOTD: What's your favorite cheat meal? I'm a big pizza guy haha. I normally don't crave pizza too much but when I do I definitely overeat haha.

TRAILER: My Happy Marriage Premiering in July, @y TRAILER: My Happy Marriage

Premiering in July, @yenpress describes the light novels on which this anime is being adapted as such:

Born to a noble family, Miyo is raised by her abusive stepmother and married off to Kiyoka, a soldier so heartless his prior fiancées fled within three days into their engagement. With no home to return to, Miyo slowly starts to open her heart to her cold and pale husband-to-be, despite their rocky introduction... This might just be her chance at finding true love and happiness.

[twwk] This episode was so nicely structured. Inst [twwk] This episode was so nicely structured. Instead of being oriented around small gags, it was set up for the payoff in this scene—from senpai considering calling Nagatoro "Hayase" early in the episode to even him learning her name and visiting her while she was sick in the previous one. Excellent stuff.

QOTD: Have you ever had rice congee or rice porridge? In Korean culture, it's connected to warm feelings about home as the dish your mom makes when you're sick. Anime has taught me that its likely the same in Japanese culture.
