Can a Christian Watch Naruto and Dragon Ball Z?

I often receive questions from concerned viewers of anime who struggle with certain aspects of the medium, or in some cases, the entirety of it. On occasion, it feels appropriate to share that question with our broader audience, as well as my response. Here’s an example I recently received: Is it okay to watch Naruto… Read More Can a Christian Watch Naruto and Dragon Ball Z?

[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.

Suletta Mercury, Part II: Of Maxims, Mothers, & Mu Suletta Mercury, Part II: Of Maxims, Mothers, & Murder

[twwk] The final episode of season one of Gundam: The Witch from Mercury ended with an all-time shocker (WARNING: spoilers ahead! ⚠️). But in hindsight, we probably should all have been expecting something like this to occur. The signs were there, particularly in the way Suletta's mother treats her.

@c_1air_3 dives into what led to Suletta's final actions and makes the comparison to a topic that's been weighing on her mind (and my own by the way): spiritual abuse. I encourage you to read the article on beneaththetangles.com, as well as part one of this series. Here's a sample:

" Suletta enters episode 12 in a state of disconnection, or at best, of interrupted reconnection, both spiritually and relationally. This leaves her particularly vulnerable to Prospera’s manipulations. And so when Prospera effectively offers her the opportunity to reassert her values, proving her adherence to their family maxim and her faithfulness to Miorine, her mother, and Aerial, there is really no choice. Suletta’s response is a foregone conclusion..."
