I haven’t perused other Your Lie in April (Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso) posts, but my guess is that bloggings about this series, and maybe especially episode three, are full of personal accounts of anibloggers reflecting on times when they performed at musical competitions with accompaniment. I participated in recitals and such when I was… Read More Your Lie in April Episode 3: Accompany Me
Beneath the Tangles isn’t your typical aniblog. While we certainly discuss anime – lots of it – our purpose goes further than that, “beneath the tangles” of entertainment and animation. We seek to look at what we believe are spiritual truths as they are demonstrated through anime. We also want to engage our readers in… Read More Come and See: Do You Evangelize?

Maybe that’s why I felt more sympathy and compassion for Hannes and his… Read More Hannes’ Complacency
The fall season is in full swing! But the articles below are largely for series from seasons past (not that it’s a bad thing to reflect on shows we’ve already finished). Frank has been commenting on Hanamayata all season long, and concludes with a post covering Christian themes in the final episodes and the season… Read More Something More: Serve Like a Librarian, Arrogant Aldnoah, and Doraemon Temple
