One of the most charming and fun games I’ve had the pleasure to play recently was The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds, a sort of sequel/remake to the celebrated A Link to The Past. Taking place in the familiar land of Hyrule, the plot starts off when a villain called Yuga begins turning… Read More Zelda, Icons and Beauty
I have written an article on my eponymous blog where I touched briefly on the folly of the war between Paro and Itha in Windaria.

Are we in a more skeptical day and age than ever… Read More Something More: Revolutionary Jesus Utena, Dehumanizing Titans, and My Soul, Your Idols

But before we move too quickly ahead, let’s be reminded of the spiritual notes that rang out from some of the latter episodes of Spring 2015 series, as well as commentary about a few older anime: Death… Read More Something More: Godless Death Note, Virgin Mary Adventure Time, and Sinner Moon Crystal
Occasionally, I find myself writing posts like this, where I ramble on about a vague idea. They have the virtue of giving my dear readers an insight into how my mind works, though I can’t claim the following as a polished article.
