Narcissu Zero: Proof of Existence

As you may have noticed from our recent Narcissu giveaway, Narcissu Zero is the newest release of the Narcissu series. This time, while the story returns to the 7th floor, it instead takes us back to the very origins of the 7th floor. It is a fairly simple story and one that was more romantic… Read More Narcissu Zero: Proof of Existence

A Little Iris: the Bleeding Heart

The Narcissu 10th anniversary translation project continues with its recent release of A Little Iris. Unlike the previous Narcissu stories which deal with terminal illness, A Little Iris takes an incredibly different approach to the topic of life and death with even a completely different time period of roughly the tail end of the Dark… Read More A Little Iris: the Bleeding Heart

Christians and Porn Games

It’s no secret that eroge is popular in Japan. In fact, these “porn games,” also referred to under the much larger category of visual novels if I may take the liberty of oversimplifying the medium, are often the object of many otaku’s interests. An entire genre of game that revolves around the inclusion of pornographic content… Read More Christians and Porn Games

Himeko’s Epilogue: Friendship Beyond Religion

As you may already know, I am very supportive of the Narcissu visual novel, particularly the 2nd one with its inclusion of Catholic faith as a major component in the story. Thus, when the 10th anniversary project was announced and that brand new Narcissu stories were going to be written and officially released in English,… Read More Himeko’s Epilogue: Friendship Beyond Religion

[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.

QOTD: What was your usual bedtime in high school?

Suletta Mercury, Part II: Of Maxims, Mothers, & Mu Suletta Mercury, Part II: Of Maxims, Mothers, & Murder

[twwk] The final episode of season one of Gundam: The Witch from Mercury ended with an all-time shocker (WARNING: spoilers ahead! ⚠️). But in hindsight, we probably should all have been expecting something like this to occur. The signs were there, particularly in the way Suletta's mother treats her.

@c_1air_3 dives into what led to Suletta's final actions and makes the comparison to a topic that's been weighing on her mind (and my own by the way): spiritual abuse. I encourage you to read the article on beneaththetangles.com, as well as part one of this series. Here's a sample:

" Suletta enters episode 12 in a state of disconnection, or at best, of interrupted reconnection, both spiritually and relationally. This leaves her particularly vulnerable to Prospera’s manipulations. And so when Prospera effectively offers her the opportunity to reassert her values, proving her adherence to their family maxim and her faithfulness to Miorine, her mother, and Aerial, there is really no choice. Suletta’s response is a foregone conclusion..."

[twwk] We all experiences hours and seasons of lon [twwk] We all experiences hours and seasons of loneliness. Some of us are experiencing months or a lifetime of it. But “feeling lonely” doesn't mean you're “alone.” God is here and he wants to meet you, befriend you, save you.

Wolfwood shows up in episode four of Trigun. He's a kindred if opposite spirit to Vash and challenges him in a variety of ways. He's challenged by Vash, too. In the original anime, the relationship leads to a spiritual awakening in his final scenes on the show.

While we're not qualified to be therapists and help you through your problems, we can be a Vash to your Wolfwood or visa-versa by being here to listen. By being here to pray—and prayer is so powerful. God answers prayers. It's why we have a group of people praying for Beneath the Tangles here on Instagram. We can't function without people praying for us.

If you need prayer or someone to listen to you, just send us a message. And remember that people do care, and more importantly, HE cares. In this sometimes overwhelmingly loud and sometimes painfully silent world, that’s meaningful.

Random comments on episode four:
• An improvement on the previous ones, but I still wouldn’t care about Vash if I hadn’t seen the original. They’re flying through the material too fast. Someone compared it to the beginning of FMAB.
• Wolfwood got a really nice introduction
• I like Roberto a lot. He’s my favorite character so far in this reboot. But I NEED Millie. 😭 
• Just to pick on the above screencap—God is a proper noun here. Feels like a very specific and weird choice to keep it lowercased when the rest of the episode’s subtitling was clean.
