Beneath the Tangles

connecting anime and belief in open community

Author: R86

R86 is a chemistry professor, which is the sort of job that probably made you stop reading already. He teaches at Texas A&M University, also known to Austin dwellers as "Enemy Territory." In his spare time, he enjoys music (flute/saxophone/clarinet and MIDI/Vocaloid synthesis), gaming, and watching anime.

Ask Sensei: Octogust edition

It is indeed an odd relic of history that September, October, November, and December are our ninth, tenth, eleventh, and twelfth months rather than our seventh, eighth, ninth, and tenth months respectively. So with Octogust just around the corner, we should all probably consider making the most of our time as the school year approaches… Read More Ask Sensei: Octogust edition

Ask Sensei: Jet Lag Edition

evangelion unit 03

Well, greetings, fellow Amerikajin! I’m glad to be back from Glorious Nihon in God Bless America, and am pretty much over the jet lag. You will be disappointed that I bought very little while I was over there, only a figure of Kaburagi Koutetsu, the first title character of Tiger & Bunny, and the latest two… Read More Ask Sensei: Jet Lag Edition

Ask Sensei: Summer Break Edition

Summer break is finally here! Sensei spends the summer doing research with Everyone-Else-Is-Wrong Hakase, a far more distinguished professor in my department. Sensei depends on this time to be cut back down to size after the school year. Sensei is also planning to travel with friends and acquaintances over break, including meeting a former student… Read More Ask Sensei: Summer Break Edition

Ask Sensei: End Of Term Edition

It’s that time of year everyone dreads — final exams. Everyone? Yes, including teachers. Not just because we have to write and grade exams, which would seem to be a just punishment for giving exams in the first place. But also because we don’t know what’s going to happen. Every class is different, every semester is different,… Read More Ask Sensei: End Of Term Edition

Ask Sensei: Shiraishi-kun Edition

Well, the school year is progressing nicely, and I’ll be darned if I don’t see everyone hard at work. Sensei is impressed! Even Shiraishi-kun is opening his textbook and handing in homework on occasion. Do you think he might actually pass? I certainly hope so. Not that it matters. After all, every class has a… Read More Ask Sensei: Shiraishi-kun Edition

Ask Sensei: Spring Break Edition

Spring break is coming, and you know what that means for students of all ages: Time to forget everything you managed to learn the previous seven weeks. No, of course I’m just kidding. It’s time to kick back for a week and not get into more trouble than you can live down during the next… Read More Ask Sensei: Spring Break Edition

Ask Sensei: Midwinter Edition

Beneath the Tangles | Who's Pulling Your Strings?

It’s about halfway through winter, which means life here in east Texas is chilly and rainy. And yet I’ll take it gladly over the Minnesota snow and ice that I braved for 16 years. Moving closer to the equator: I recommend it highly. This time, three readers have asked questions via Instagram. First, @gablumpot wonders: How… Read More Ask Sensei: Midwinter Edition

Wait, wait, wait. Understanding an anime in the context of western Scripture? Is that even legal? Sure is! Beneath the Tangles lays it all out. Please check out: Suletta Mercury, Part I: Stuck in the OT https://beneaththetangles.com/2023/01/30/suletta-mercury-stuck-in-the-ot/ via @animetangles

[twwk] Just as it’s easy to confuse arrogance fo [twwk] Just as it’s easy to confuse arrogance for self-confidence, we can confuse humility for an inaccurately low views of ourselves. Both are misconceptions. It’s helpful when treasured friends or loved ones correct those views.

Btw one of Mahiru’s lines reminds me of words penned by Nora Ephron for one my favorite movies, When Harry Met Sally:

Jess: If she's so great why aren't you taking her out?

Harry: How many times do I have to tell you, we're just friends.

Jess: So you're saying she's not that attractive.

Harry: No, I told you she is attractive.

Jess: Yeah but you also said she has a good personality.

Harry: She has a good personality.

[Jess stops walking, turns to Harry, raises his arms in the air]

Harry: What?

Jess: When someone's not that attractive, they're always described as having a good personality.

Harry: Look, if you had asked me what does she look like and I said, she has a good personality, that means she's not attractive. But just because I happen to mention that she has a good personality, she could be either. She could be attractive with a good personality, or not attractive with a good personality.

Jess: So which one is she?

Harry: Attractive.

Jess: But not beautiful, right?

[Harry turns and walks away]

[twwk] I really can’t say much though. I went to bed at 9:00 when I was in high school. 10:00 on Thursdays to watch ER. And then midnight (!) on Saturdays to catch SNL.
