Otaku Reader’s Corner: Great Pumpkin Edition

cute anime halloween girls

Hello dear readers, and welcome to a special edition of Otaku Reader’s Corner as we delve into works that are atypical for us—those involving horror or at the least, some ghoulish elements. So even if you’re stuck at home this Halloween, even if a certain Peanuts holiday special has joined the others off broadcast TV,… Read More Otaku Reader’s Corner: Great Pumpkin Edition

13 Anime That Are Completely Average, But Which You’ll Love Anyway

fairy tail cast

A couple of weeks ago, we asked you to name a series that you love, but isn’t an especially good series, nor especially terrible. It’s just there, one in an endless landscape of anime. And because it’s caught in that vast middle, your choice may be lost to time, a series that is rarely discussed… Read More 13 Anime That Are Completely Average, But Which You’ll Love Anyway

SCA-DI and the Question of God

Today’s post is from a former staff member, Kaze, who you’ll remember playing a vital role on Beneath the Tangles for a number of years. We’re blessed to have him still drop by from time to time, while also contributing to his own blog, Nanaca Sakura. I once explained how Madoka was the gateway anime… Read More SCA-DI and the Question of God

The Secret Stars of Anime: Yuyushiki

As a new year starts, anime fans are certainly looking forward to all the new anime the year will bring. They are also looking over at the past year and making their “best anime of 2016” lists, or putting in their write-in votes for Crunchyroll’s Anime Awards. Something about a new year makes people want… Read More The Secret Stars of Anime: Yuyushiki

The Secret Stars of Anime: Anne-Happy

I already talked about how good last season was for slice-of-life shows, and one of these shows I highlighted was Anne-Happy, which also fits the ever-popular category of “cute girls doing cute things”. The catch to this show is that all of the main cast are “unfortunate”, whether it is having bad health, getting lost often, having…… Read More The Secret Stars of Anime: Anne-Happy

Between the Panels: A Reason to Live (Ch. 1)

Imagine a re-telling of Death Note where Light has a conscience, Ryuk is cute, and those “lucky” few with Shinigami angels over their shoulders participate in the Holy Grail War, a la Fate Stay Night. Imagine no further. It’s a thing. Platinum End, dream duo Tsugumi Ohba’s and Takeshi Obata’s latest brainchild, hit the Jump… Read More Between the Panels: A Reason to Live (Ch. 1)

Between the Panels: Smiling, Sora-Style

What’s your New Year’s resolution? There’s plenty of great ones out there: lose weight, eat better, exercise more, spend more time with family, master a new hobby… Or maybe you’re like me and didn’t make one. My ability to uphold New Year’s resolutions has been less than successful in the past, so I prefer to… Read More Between the Panels: Smiling, Sora-Style

[twwk] Just as it’s easy to confuse arrogance fo [twwk] Just as it’s easy to confuse arrogance for self-confidence, we can confuse humility for an inaccurately low views of ourselves. Both are misconceptions. It’s helpful when treasured friends or loved ones correct those views.

Btw one of Mahiru’s lines reminds me of words penned by Nora Ephron for one my favorite movies, When Harry Met Sally:

Jess: If she's so great why aren't you taking her out?

Harry: How many times do I have to tell you, we're just friends.

Jess: So you're saying she's not that attractive.

Harry: No, I told you she is attractive.

Jess: Yeah but you also said she has a good personality.

Harry: She has a good personality.

[Jess stops walking, turns to Harry, raises his arms in the air]

Harry: What?

Jess: When someone's not that attractive, they're always described as having a good personality.

Harry: Look, if you had asked me what does she look like and I said, she has a good personality, that means she's not attractive. But just because I happen to mention that she has a good personality, she could be either. She could be attractive with a good personality, or not attractive with a good personality.

Jess: So which one is she?

Harry: Attractive.

Jess: But not beautiful, right?

[Harry turns and walks away]
