I’ll be covering Anime Today as our normal columnist, Japes, takes a break to deal with, you know, real life. I was not a fan of season one of Noragami. The anime-only ending really killed it for me – it felt so patchwork and underwhelming and, well, “anime only” that it left me with bitter… Read More Anime Today: Worshiping Bishamon
A whopping 74 chapters later, and Armin gets the credit he deserves. Finally. I can’t be the only one frustrated by this tiny tactician’s utter lack of recognition. When he’s not being replaced by the more statistically popular Levi Ackerman in official franchise artwork, Armin’s either bent on putting himself down or enduring out-lash from… Read More Between the Panels: Armin Arlert will never be Erwin Smith (Ch. 74)

The Claim One of the things that makes… Read More Fact Check: Archer’s Irredeemable World

This week we are trying something new. I opened the post to the Beneath The Tangles writers!!! And this week the post will be… Read More Throwback Thursdays: Beneath The Tangles Writers Edition
Watching Lupin III and reading perhaps too much of Erik von Kuehnelt-Leddihn, a philosopher who would have agreed with Charles V Britannia’s points on inequality, inspired this article. The word inequality strikes many people’s ears like the word injustice, but this is hardly the only way to think about inequality: it is only the unequal… Read More Examining Old School Anime: The Inequality of the Sexes
Gendo Ikari is one of anime’s great villains. Some 15 years after Evangelion originally aired, he remains hated, the very picture of a vile father willing to sacrifice his son (and the entire world, even) for his obsession. But even Gendo has a tender side. Even Gendo was once in love. In the following portion… Read More Gendo Ikari: Yui Give and Take Away
