Summer 2017 Anime Thoughts
Just like in Spring 2017, the Beneath the Tangles staff has been asked a few questions about the Summer 2017 season – what was your favorite and what surprised you the most. Their answers follow:
Itachi’s Legacy is Sarada Uchiha
Back in the old days, when we all used to watch that one anime about Boruto’s dad, we met a character named Itachi Uchiha. He is one who gave the audience quite the set of mixed emotions. Itachi was introduced as a villain. A black coat, malicious eyes, and purple nail polish completed the “bad… Read More Itachi’s Legacy is Sarada Uchiha
Hakase ni kikimashou! (Let’s ask the professor!)
My voice on this blog is different from those of my colleagues here at Beneath The Tangles, though then again we are all of us very different from one another.

And the teacher, despite his plans… Read More Annalyn’s Corner: Who Pulls Your Strings?
The Importance of Being Digi-Destined
I loved my group of friends in high school. We bickered a lot, but we were also always cracking each other up. We were also a bunch of nerds, so we pushed each other to excel academically and had similar pop culture interests that we shared (The Matrix is the best movie everrrr adlkjalcjvaoeiw!). But… Read More The Importance of Being Digi-Destined
