Kyousuke Natsume and Meeting the Crucified Christ (II)

Kyousuke is back, yet again. He lies over the table of the school canteen, tired—more so than he has ever been. The Refrain route, the last one, is about to begin. It is the last chance: Life, death, friendship, the past, the future, love and treason are all going to play out now. If only he… Read More Kyousuke Natsume and Meeting the Crucified Christ (II)

Kyousuke Natsume and Meeting the Crucified Christ (I)

“Kyousuke is back!” a voice shouts. And then, everyone in the school dorm runs to goof around a senior year student. Kyousuke is the idea guy, the visionary leader, the creative force and the acting big brother of a group of five called the Little Busters, known and loved throughout the school. Soon to graduate,… Read More Kyousuke Natsume and Meeting the Crucified Christ (I)

A Trio of Visual Novel Reviews

Steam had its summer sale not long ago, and I picked up a few visual novels to try. Each is available for both Mac and PC. Magical Diary: Horse Hall Magical Diary: Horse Hall is a very “meh” sort of visual novel. Bland backgrounds, forgettable music, and somewhat ugly character sprites do nothing to salvage… Read More A Trio of Visual Novel Reviews

Crystalline: A Visual Novel Review

Crystalline, a visual novel available on Steam, is a fun isekai / romance / adventure story. Crystalline is the first visual novel I’ve ever tried, so I have nothing with which to compare it, but I found it charming. From what I can tell, it is typical of the visual novel genre, straddling the intersection… Read More Crystalline: A Visual Novel Review

SCA-DI and the Question of God

Today’s post is from a former staff member, Kaze, who you’ll remember playing a vital role on Beneath the Tangles for a number of years. We’re blessed to have him still drop by from time to time, while also contributing to his own blog, Nanaca Sakura. I once explained how Madoka was the gateway anime… Read More SCA-DI and the Question of God

Aiyoku no Eustia and the Threat of Blind Faith

Aiyoku no Eustia is a fantastic visual novel (I initially thought it was only “great” but the more I thought about this post, the more I liked what it did) that still has yet to receive an English translation (a partial patch is available). While most people praise it for things like world-building and a… Read More Aiyoku no Eustia and the Threat of Blind Faith

12 Days of Otaku Christmas, Day 10: MuvLuv Alternative

When I think of Christmas in otaku media, MuvLuv is one of the first stories that comes to mind. In previous years here at Beneath the Tangles, however, I was told we must write about anime.  No longer am I bound by such a rule! MuvLuv, specifically MuvLuv Alternative is one of the most popular… Read More 12 Days of Otaku Christmas, Day 10: MuvLuv Alternative

The wisdom of an egg yolk. 🍳 I think that Gude The wisdom of an egg yolk. 🍳

I think that Gudetama means that sometimes we’d rather deflect or ignore troublesome or stressful situations than deal with them. Sometimes we do need to do that, though—to walk away, forget about it, etc. 

I’ve found in my own life, though, that if I run away too often, I tend to become become more paralyzed and more fearful of stress, anxiety, failure, and confrontation. Ultimately, many of our challenges aren’t as impossible as our minds make them out to be. We also know that trials produce fruit. There’s good to be had in working through the ugly and the bad.

TEASER: Insomniacs After School It’s a great ti TEASER: Insomniacs After School

It’s a great time to be an Insomniacs After School fans. The live-action version of the manga premieres in June, the anime premieres in April, and @vizmedia is releasing volume one of the manga in March. We’ll have a review of that volume nearer its release, but here’s a preview: it’s really sweet.

Here’s a summary of the series from Viz, for all of you new to the series:

Two sleepless teenagers find kinship as they escape to their school’s astronomy observatory.
Unable to sleep at night, Ganta Nakami is cranky in class and unpopular with his classmates. Nakami discovers that the observatory, once used by the defunct astronomy club, may be the perfect place for a nap—but he’s not alone. Nakami and his new friend Isaki Magari find comfort in each other while coping with insomnia.

No one goes near the astronomy tower due to dark rumors about the fate of the last astronomy club members. Nakami and his classmate Magari decide it’s their insomniacs’ sanctuary. Unfortunately, the school faculty can’t allow the unsanctioned use. But if there were a new astronomy club…

With such a massive number of series available to With such a massive number of series available to stream, I sometimes get caught up in watching just the big-name releases and the near-masterpieces, cutting out the in-between. That means I sometimes miss out on pleasant, lesser-known series. But these are the kind of anime I often like best.

The Iceblade Sorcerer Shall Rule the World is one such anime. Nothing groundbreaking or wildly inventive here, but so far, it's been funny and cute. I'm thoroughly charmed by it.
