Beneath the Tangles

connecting anime and belief in open community

Author: Jess W

Josh’s academic perambulations have taken him from the isle of English literature all the way over to the distant realm of Biblical criticism by way of philosophy and theology. When not geeking out over those subjects he can often be found geeking out over video games, science fiction, and all things animated.

The Discreet Charm of Dragon Quest III

Dragon Quest III is a simple game. You spend much of it grinding for experience and gold so that you’ll be strong enough to pass over whatever wall you’re currently stuck at (or, alternatively, you spend much of it throwing yourself against said wall until it breaks). Although you can create your own party members,… Read More The Discreet Charm of Dragon Quest III

Arcadia of My Youth and the Limits of Being Cool

Arcadia of My Youth is an extravagant movie. Even in a medium not particularly known for its subtlety, the thing hits all-time highs of being overwrought. It seems like it can’t go five minutes without someone making a tearful speech about not losing hope, someone making a heroic sacrifice, or a giant, aeronautically improbable space… Read More Arcadia of My Youth and the Limits of Being Cool

First Impressions: Days of Urashimasakatasen

Urata is one of those fabled “high school transfer students” and wants to make a big impression on his first day at his new school. But he winds up getting upstaged by not one, nor two, but three other transfer students: the laid back Sakata, the flamboyant Shima and the cool and collected Senra. And… Read More First Impressions: Days of Urashimasakatasen

First Impressions: Ahiru no Sora

Sora is a newly minted highschooler whose diminutive size makes him easy pickings for bullies. But he doesn’t let this get him down, or get in the way of his passion for basketball (which, of course, turns out to be something of a family legacy). At his new high school he finds that the boy’s… Read More First Impressions: Ahiru no Sora

A New Perspective on Howl’s Moving Castle

I decided to watch a Studio Ghibli film I hadn’t seen yet and give my first impressions of it. So I watched Howl’s Moving Castle, which had the misfortune of being released at a time when my interest in anime (and movies and television in general) were at a low ebb. It also had the… Read More A New Perspective on Howl’s Moving Castle

Penguindrum: Destiny, or…?

I’m in the middle of watching Mawaru Penguindrum, which is shaping up to be my kind of show—fantastically weird, formalist and borderline nonsensical. It centers on three orphaned siblings: Kanba, Shoma and Himari. Himari is, unfortunately, suffering from some some sort of unspecified terminal illness, which takes her life during an outing to an aquarium.… Read More Penguindrum: Destiny, or…?

Josh’s Top Ten Video Games OF ALL TIME

These days I don’t have much time for video games, and I wonder at times if I’ll hold on to the hobby in the years to come. So I thought that now would be a good time to throw together a top ten list reminding myself of why I loved this medium in the first… Read More Josh’s Top Ten Video Games OF ALL TIME

WARNING: Spoilers ahead for Demon Slayer S3E9! ⚠ WARNING: Spoilers ahead for Demon Slayer S3E9! ⚠️ 

[twwk] I get the sense that I think more highly of Demon Slayer than most other viewers who have a broad range of anime interests—i.e. are watching seinen, shoujo, and other types of series beyond the popular. I'm a huge Ufotable fan (go watch Garden of Sinners!), love the humor and quirkiness of the series, and, most of all, appreciate the themes that return again and again in Demon Slayer; a few are emphasized in this scene, including those represented by a certain character we all love so much who has an unexpected cameo here. His appearance nearly got our whole family's tears flowing simply by the memory of his character and sacrifice. 🔥
