Despising the Shame of Heroic Hypocrisy

I usually read up on anime before watching them, trying to get a feel for the content and whether it’s something I’d enjoy. One show I ending up deciding not to watch, despite the high regard in which many hold it, is Puella Magi Madoka Magica.

Newman’s Nook: The #1 Hero

My Hero Academia is a great series that, unlike everyone else out there, I only got into in October. A series about a world where superpowers (quirks) are widespread raises many questions, the greatest of which is “What is a hero?” To answer that, I want to talk about two heroes—All Might and Endeavor.

Between the Panels: Simple Good, Subtle Evil

Last week, while I was at Megacon, I met Vic Mignogna for the first time. People started lining up an hour in advance for his panel, and by the time the doors opened that line had snaked down the entire hall. The moment he bounced on-stage, I understood why: Vic is certainly famous for his… Read More Between the Panels: Simple Good, Subtle Evil

The many faces of Nadeshiko! (And this is from just one episode)
Anime Side-by-Side: Mami Tomoe, Puella Magi Madoka Magica (2011) vs. Rika Kawai, Wonder Egg Priority (2021)
[twwk] “I’ll knock you off your feet with a shot to the heart!” Another week, another catchphrase. 😆
[twwk] Like Ai, I have a complex about my eyes. She hides her heterochromia, while I have one eye that’s smaller than the other. It used to really bother me. It still does a little, but I think as the result of age and maturity, as well as confidence directly related to understanding who I am in Christ, has led me to worry less and less about my appearance.
