In our Untangled feature, we answer questions posed to us from our readers. For today’s post, we received the following from a forum member through the Christian Anime Alliance forums: Something has been bothering me a lot lately, and that is unanswered prayers. I am told that prayers either go amiss because of sins that… Read More Untangled: Why is God Silent?
As you may have noticed, the big news here this week has been the addition of a group of new writers to the site. In fact, a couple of the articles below link to their articles about joining, including one from Annalyn that warmed my heart. Enjoy this week’s links, and have a great weekend!… Read More Something More: Virgin Witch Power, Like a Selfless Shepherd, and Your Salvation in April (or Sooner)
Gothic lolita wear as armor? Sure, why not? Episode 16 of Shirobako uses the metaphor of battle in terms of dealing with a difficult situation, and more significantly, with fighting against the things which weigh you down when facing challenges. Iguchi doesn’t completely fall apart when all her hard work is rejected, time and time… Read More Shirobako, Episode 16: Put on Your Armor

A few episodes in,… Read More Shirobako: Live Out Your Passion
Through the years, our website has changed drastically – in tone, audience, message, and design.

You’ll recognize most of these names – they’ve… Read More Welcome Our New Writers and Contributors to Beneath the Tangles!
One of the more interesting series this season is Junketsu no Maria, which I became aware of through my friend Alexander, of Ashita no Anime. The first group of links below discuss the series’ tone toward Catholicism and the Catholic Church, and join another gaggle of terrific posts about religion from anibloggers this week.
