12 Days of Christmas Anime: Tokyo Godfathers

Tokyo Godfathers - Hana with Kiyoko

Day 7: Love I want to start this anime post by referencing a non-animated movie I recently watched. About a month ago, my husband and I saw Breakthrough, a Christian film based on the real-life events of a boy who survived a drowning by a miracle alone. This movie struck a very personal and deep… Read More 12 Days of Christmas Anime: Tokyo Godfathers

Annalyn’s Corner: Messes, Purpose, and Nanbaka

Beneath the Tangles | Messes, Purpose, and Nanbaka

As the subtitle implies, my corner is a mess this week. So I’m dividing it into two parts—my mess and Nanbaka‘s relevant mess—and hoping it somehow edifies someone besides me. Confession I have a pretty casual approach to this column. That’s partly because when I first came on board, I was told I could write the… Read More Annalyn’s Corner: Messes, Purpose, and Nanbaka

Final Fantasy XIII: Focus on Eternity

I haven’t had a lot of time to game much because of several transitions in my personal life. I have been organizing my writing schedule, starting a new job, completing a video game recommendation guide for Christians, and looking for inspiration from new games to write about. I didn’t realize how many games I had… Read More Final Fantasy XIII: Focus on Eternity

Annalyn’s Corner: Satoru’s Purposed Revival

Little Satoru as a young boy putting on a superhero mask. His mother is leaning down in front of him. Brightly lit festival booths are in the background.

Boku dake ga Inai Machi (ERASED) has quickly risen as a favorite, not only among this season’s anime, but among anime all-time. It’s currently at the #1 spot on Anime-Planet (knocking FMAB down a peg) and the #5 spot at MAL. Anime fans in general love it, while the more picky critics… well, I think… Read More Annalyn’s Corner: Satoru’s Purposed Revival

Annalyn’s Corner: Why am I alive?

“If I was born to die, then what was my reason for existing in this world?” —Konno Yuuki, SAO II. Sword Art Online II has many faults, and some folks can’t take it seriously as a result. That’s a shame, because SAO deals with big issues that warrant serious discussion. The characters’ conversations in the last episode,… Read More Annalyn’s Corner: Why am I alive?
