Over the next few months, we’ll be posting pieces written by Micah, a former Christian aniblogger.

The Heike Story: A Tale of Forgiveness?

There are many lessons to learn from The Heike Story: the cost of pride, the trauma of war, the insidiousness of bitterness. Every episode conveys these truths with both the elegance and firmness of a martial artist’s killing blow.

The Prodigal Uo-chan

The backstory of Uotani Arisa, friend of Fruits Basket protagonist Honda Tohru, is a genderswapped retelling of Jesus’ parable of the “prodigal” son found in Luke 15. Okay, that’s a bit of an exaggeration, but it was fun to say, and it got your attention, didn’t it? And there really is some great thematic resonance… Read More The Prodigal Uo-chan

QOTD: Have you ever competed in team sports? Which one? Was it an emotional experience?
The summer 2022 anime season begins tomorrow! What new and returning series are you most looking forward to?
[twwk] Definitely getting a Royai feel here. I haven't watched the original classic, so I wonder if it was the same there. Anybody? If so, this would have preceded Roy x Riza by a couple decades.
[twwk] Shikimori…Saber…Utena…can you think of any other strong, protective women in anime?
