Death vs. the Devil in Boogiepop and Others

I perceived a fascinating juxtaposition in the new arc of Boogiepop and Others. Boogiepop refers to herself as a shinigami or the Reaper, aka Death, but what are we to make of the Imaginator?  The Imaginator is obviously the villain, but I wondered why a villain should be referred to as “he who imagines”? While pondering… Read More Death vs. the Devil in Boogiepop and Others

12 Days of Otaku Christmas, Day 4: A Gintama Christmas

Some of you know that I am a big fan of Gintama.  No show surpasses Gintama in variety: the plots cover all kinds of genres and moods, the animation stretches across the spectrum of awesome to mediocre, and the humor ranges from wordplay to toilet humor.  All episodes of Gintama are not created equal.  Yet,… Read More 12 Days of Otaku Christmas, Day 4: A Gintama Christmas

Examining Old School Anime: As the Tree Falls

Few anime possess the brilliance of Space Pirate Captain Harlock.  On the night when I became inspired to write this article, I watched no fewer than seven episodes in a row.  This viewing also happened to give me another, more happy topic, but the topic of death appeared more interesting.  To be more precise, Captain Harlock inspired… Read More Examining Old School Anime: As the Tree Falls

Inadequate Sacrifices in Fatal Frame

People are drawn to the horror game genre for different reasons. For me, I enjoy the challenge of desperate survival in an eerie atmosphere and satisfying that “Why is something like this happening?” curiosity. Fatal Frame is one of my favorite horror series because it creates that tense atmosphere and puts plenty of story behind… Read More Inadequate Sacrifices in Fatal Frame

Anime Today: Eternal Judgment (Parade?)

If there is one thing of spiritual value that Death Parade has raised this season, it is the idea of eternal judgment. Considering that from its fundamental concept, the series explores the idea of determining a person’s final destination (or process), if not ultimate value, based on the human condition, it raises many questions for… Read More Anime Today: Eternal Judgment (Parade?)

Judgment in Death Parade

Death Parade presents its own attempt in answering the always interesting question of “what happens after death?” Recently deceased characters wind up in a bar called Quindecim where they are told to play a game they must stake their lives on and are judged during the game on whether their soul will go to heaven (reincarnation)… Read More Judgment in Death Parade

[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]

[twwk] I really can’t say much though. I went to bed at 9:00 when I was in high school. 10:00 on Thursdays to watch ER. And then midnight (!) on Saturdays to catch SNL.
