Fact Check: Archer’s Irredeemable World

Anime is full of references to religion, which presents a great opportunity to discuss matters of spirituality.  And that’s the idea behind this column, Fact Check, in which I’ll investigate some of the claims of anime and manga characters and weigh them against the truth of scripture. The Claim One of the things that makes… Read More Fact Check: Archer’s Irredeemable World

Fact Check: Heaven’s Feels’ (Im)Morality of Life

Created and developed far from Europe and the Americas, and conceived in a country where less than 1% of the populace is Christian, manga could hardly be called out for inaccurately portraying Christianity.  It would be silly for calling out mangaka for getting the story of Christ wrong or for presenting the Bible as “just… Read More Fact Check: Heaven’s Feels’ (Im)Morality of Life

Fact Check: Migi’s Claim of Humans as Demons

Migi and Shinichi

Parasyte (Kiseijuu: Sei no Kakuritsu) has been a provocative series.  On a surface level, it weaves together grotesque, hyper-violence with humor and a gentle protagonist, while combining modern anime style with 80’s sensibility.  On a deeper level, it also calls forth significant topics – in episode two, we are introduced to a heavy environmentalist theme,… Read More Fact Check: Migi’s Claim of Humans as Demons

What's your thoughts on Vinland Saga so far? A lot of people aren't so excited over the farming and the dialogue. As much as I miss the crazy viking battles, I like the development and character interactions too.

[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]
