I revisited the Rurouni Kenshin TV series a few years ago, and found myself disappointing by the show. I had purchased the series volume by volume and had tremendous nostalgia for it, but now found that the show had aged badly. The animation didn’t hold up well and the tone was so dated. Perhaps this… Read More Kenshin and Saito: A Balance Between Grace and Judgment
I am finally getting a Playstation 4 this week, so I hope to play some more games and able to write more as time goes on. One of the games I’m looking forward to get my hands on is Tales of Zesteria. If you don’t know about it, the Tales Of series is similar to Final Fantasy, in that… Read More Gaming With God: Luke fon Fabre’s Desire To Change
My pastor talked about serving others yesterday. As he did, I realized how selfish I’ve been about maintaining unhealthy habits. Any of you who’ve stuck around here long enough know that finding and keeping good routines is an ongoing struggle for me. Yesterday, I was forced to confront how that affects multiple areas of my… Read More Annalyn’s Corner: My Body is Not My Own

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)
