The Mecca of all things anime! JP (Japesland), Jack (R86), and Kaze are no stranger to discussing their times in Japan, and today they’d like to translate those experiences into a helpful, and hopefully eye-opening discussion on Akihabara. What sort of expectations should an anime fan have when visiting this infamous location, and how about Christian otaku? And be… Read More TangleCast 25: Akihabara
The eleventh volume of Spice and Wolf includes a set of two short stories and a novella. Like in volume seven, the two short stories remind me of something an author might write for his eyes only in order to get to know the characters better. I have decided to put off reading the novella… Read More Examining Light Novels: Latin in the Middle Ages

The plot is pretty thin here,… Read More Love Live! Sunshine!! Ep. 13 (Season Finale): Is Your Heart Shining?

Never fear: you haven’t seen the last of this column. Starting October, I’ll be passing the torch to Samuru, so send him… Read More Something More: To Akame Ga Kill or Akame Ga Save?, Berserk’s Mercy, and Shinigami Eyes for Christians
In an attempt to answer the million dollar question (in the title of the episode!), JP (Japesland), Jack (R86), and Kaze discuss their views on the questionable quality of anime in recent seasons, and the apparent lack of new classics springing up in recent years.
