Throwback Thursday Readers Choice

Alt text, we found you!

Every other Thursday, Zeroe4, a long-time columnist here and real life missionary in Japan, reminiscences about some of his favorite series from yesteryear.  If you haven’t read his column yet, I highly encourage you go through his posts so far – you’ll probably either get nostalgic yourself, find a gem you missed, or both! For… Read More Throwback Thursday Readers Choice

Throwback Thursdays: Code Geass

Code Geass is in my book a classic anime. Not classic in the sense it is old, but classic in the sense that it was popular and at the same time polarized the people watching it. I loved the show. This was the first anime that I was ever hooked on, and it quickly became… Read More Throwback Thursdays: Code Geass

Throwback Thursdays: Blast of Tempest

This week I am review Blast of Tempest, also known as Zetsuen no Tempest. Now I really enjoyed this show, but it will not fit everyone’s tastes. It is a fantasy, sci-fi, slice of life, action, and mystery anime, told in Shakespearian style focusing on revenge and magic. The original concept is based on Shakespeare’s The Tempest.… Read More Throwback Thursdays: Blast of Tempest

Angel Beats! and Easter

For all of history, we have wondered at what happens after death. Every culture has some idea of an afterlife. Sometimes it is a glorious place, sometimes it is but a pit in the earth. Angel Beats! takes the concept of an afterlife and makes it the setting. The entire cast of characters are dead.… Read More Angel Beats! and Easter

Throwback Thursdays: Darker Than Black

Zeroe4 is taking the week off for Throwback Thursdays, but arranged for a fellow YWAM Tokyo missionary, Sheridan Reid, to be a guest writer.  Sheridan is an avid reader and writer of fantasy and sci-fi books and lover of action/adventure anime. If she’s not working or immersed in a good story, she is probably at… Read More Throwback Thursdays: Darker Than Black

Throwback Thursdays: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann

Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann literally means, “Pierce the heavens, Gurren Lagann.” This strange title is used as a common phrase to inspire and build up the main protagonist of the series, Simon. If you haven’t realised by now, I love it when an anime series breaks off the norm and the stereotypical and does something… Read More Throwback Thursdays: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann

Throwback Thursday: The Third: The Girl With the Blue Eye

The Third: The Girl With the Blue Eye originally developed from a light novel series dating back to 1999. The anime was originally released in 2006. The show however does feel a bit older than it really is, like a hybrid of a 1990’s environment and setting with an early 2000’s style. The show bounces… Read More Throwback Thursday: The Third: The Girl With the Blue Eye
