I must preface this brief Secret Santa review with this statement: None of the Secret Santa recommendations I received this year match my tastes (with the exception of Jin-Roh: The Wolf Brigade, but I’ve already seen that one, thus I received an additional entry as an exception). With that in mind, Phantom: Requiem for the… Read More Secret Santa: Phantom: Requiem for the Phantom
On several occasions in our podcast, I’ve made it clear that Bartender is one of my all-time favorite anime. Despite its technical flaws, its thematic focus through episodic directing and frequently breaking the fourth wall, all while aimed at a more mature audience (in the sense of intellect and emotions, not sexual content) culminate in… Read More 12 Days of Christmas Anime, Day 1: Bartender

Created and developed far from Europe and the Americas, and conceived in a country where less than 1% of the populace is Christian, manga could hardly be called out for inaccurately portraying Christianity. It would be silly for calling out mangaka for getting the story of Christ wrong or for presenting the Bible as “just… Read More Fact Check: Heaven’s Feels’ (Im)Morality of Life
