Rivalry is a funny thing. Through competing (and often losing) to someone who’s your equal or better, you can become stronger than you ever thought you might. Episode 8 of Your Lie in April (Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso) is all about the rivalry that Takeshi and Emi both have with Kousei, and how those… Read More Your Lie in April, Episode 8: Rivals
For our fourth episode, we are excited to have Marina, from Anime B&B, as our guest with Charles, our editor-in-chief here at Beneath the Tangles, as co-host.

As carefree of a series as When Supernatural Battles Became Commonplace (Inou-Battle wa Nichijou-kei no Naka de) is, it has rather regularly hit on a rather serious topic, if only briefly. Charles focused on one of these two weeks ago, writing on perhaps one of the most impressive several minutes of anime monologuing in the past year or so.… Read More Anime Today: When Even One Supernatural Student is Missing (Even if She is Commonplace…)
Episode 8 of Celestial Method (Sora no Method) is, perhaps, the first in the series I’ve enjoyed from beginning to end.

Shione’s development in… Read More Celestial Method, Episode 8: You Go First
Lately I’ve been following Mark’s Anime and Video Game blog, and particularly this young man’s journey through Toradora, which is my all-time favorite anime series. I’ve had a lot of social media friends and followers watch the show (or my recommendation or otherwise), and it’s brought me a lot of joy to see them enjoying… Read More Messy Anime Girls, Clean Anime Boys, and Godly Order
Of the last few episodes, I liked this one the most, but I’m not sure if that’s really just because I quite enjoyed Sachi’s route over the previous two. The anime honestly did an okay job (again, given the constraint of doing an entire route in 1 episode which makes my statement fairly meaningless). They… Read More Grisaia no Kajitsu Episode 7: The Desire to Be Good
While shows like Your Lie in April and Wolf Girl and Black Prince continue to give great material for spiritual discussion, it’s interesting that some series with big moves on the horizon – Naruto with a final movie upcoming and Digimon with a return of it’s season one characters – also provide opportunities to discuss… Read More Something More: Magi Love, Christian Lessons from Naruto, and Kill La Kill Buddhism
