Welcome to the Gift of Condescension

We’re proud to present a guest post today by blogger and Yale Divinity School student James, who has written series of articles for us in past about Planetarian and Steins;gate. Note: this essay is based solely on the anime adaptation of Welcome to the N.H.K. rather than the light novel or manga, whose stories differ… Read More Welcome to the Gift of Condescension

Letters from the Editor: I’m Part of the Problem

According to my admittedly rather fallible memory, few anime in the last few years have frustrated me as much as Girlish Number, but I can’t help but feel that this is a good sense of frustration. I’m not angry because the anime is terrible, or even because I wish the characters were written differently, but… Read More Letters from the Editor: I’m Part of the Problem

Annalyn’s Corner: Bungou Stray Dogs and Messy Justice

Bungou Stray Dogs is a decent action anime about an orphan weretiger and the “Armed Detective Agency” that gives him a job and a place to belong. Between the quirky characters and the action, it has all the ingredients for a basic, fun show. Still, I found it unremarkable until the seventh episode, “Love for… Read More Annalyn’s Corner: Bungou Stray Dogs and Messy Justice

Transforming Mercy in Dragon Ball Z

Oh, the nostalgia I have with Dragon Ball Z. I remember watching it every day after school when it came on Toonami, wondering if the gang would ever get off the planet Namek, questioning if Frieza really knew how long five minutes was, getting aggravated when they would run out of episodes and start the series… Read More Transforming Mercy in Dragon Ball Z

Your Lie in April, Episode 10: Love Song

Your Lie in April (Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso) had danced in and out of the theme of grace for nine episodes, and so, I expected the gospel message to be delivered in it’s full force at some point – I just didn’t know it would come so soon. This was a precious, precious episode.… Read More Your Lie in April, Episode 10: Love Song

Mercy in Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood

As many Christians will tell you, mercy and grace are some of the dearest and most beautiful qualities of God. Not only does he show us mercy every day by guiding us through problems that we often bring on ourselves, but he gave everyone on earth mercy by dying on the cross so we wouldn’t… Read More Mercy in Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood

Don’t you do it, Vinland Saga. Don’t you dare Don’t you do it, Vinland Saga. Don’t you dare go and make me cry. 😭 

I have to be honest. While I'm enjoying a number of series right now, this season it feels like there's Vinland Saga, and then there's everything else. @wacotaku has been telling everyone that this arc is going to be amazing. It already is, and it's just begun.

QOTD: What's your favorite new show of the anime season?

Suletta Mercury, Part I: Stuck in the OT In part Suletta Mercury, Part I: Stuck in the OT

In part one of her meditation on Suletta Mercury, @c_1air_3 explains how the pilot misses the mark when it comes to relationships—and how we might be doing the same when it comes to our own with the Creator. Here's a sample of the article, which you can read in full on beneaththetangles.com:

"The reality is that we still often act a lot like the ancient Israelites—and not all that differently from Suletta—in our interactions with God. It seems easier, after all, to go about the life of faith as if it were a checklist of to-dos (and not to-dos); it’s more efficient to let religious leaders and voices of wisdom and authority in our life tell us what to do and define things for us, as the Israelites wanted Moses to do, and as Suletta does with her contracts, letting them determine for her who will be number one in her life. We too instrumentalize our relationship with God, like when we equate having daily 'quiet time' or hitting up church on a Sunday and maybe even mid-week small group, with living the life of faith. These things are great, and they can lead us into deeper encounter with God, but they can also easily turn into a checklist that isn’t actually accomplishing what we think it is..."
