I NEED YOUR HELP!
Starting next month, I’m planning on doing an online study of the anime Haibane Renmei from a Christian perspective. I’ll be hosting it from Google Hangout. The study will involve discussion of the series and its spiritual themes. Non-Christians are not only encouraged to join - I also really hope you’ll consider it, along with Christians who may not have a church home and/or...

Usagi Drop Episode 04: Caring for the Defenseless
Originally posted 8.3.2011
Rin represents one among millions
Count me among the many that are utterly charmed by the Usagi Drop anime. This past week featured a new character, Yukari Nitani, a single mom. The connection may be loose, but I thought of the Book of James, which among other books of the Bible, tells followers to care for widows and orphans:

29. Your Favorite Anime Character
I’m cheating - I call a tie on this one. A three-way tie, in fact. :P
Vash the Stampede (Trigun)
My first favorite was Vash. He’s of course completely loveable, with his smooth-yet-not-smooth style, his interesting look, and his love for donuts. Most of all, he’s admirable for his uncompromising ideals. And that’s all before the...

I love it when I see people I follow reblog other people I follow. It makes me feel like we’re all a big family…of people that don’t really know each other. -_-‘
Also, I think, “YES…I’m glad you also know that person is awesome!!”

How to be an Awesome Convention Attendee Re:...
dreaminpng:
So! I work in the Guest Relations/VIP Relations departments at several conventions. I’ve sat through panels, talked to GoH’s about their past convention experiences, and had to be the guy enforcing the convention’s autograph rules. So I decided to come up with a guide for how to interact with Guests of Honor at conventions, and how to make sure you’re an attendee they remember...

I just started reading this Christianity Today study for a class I’ll be teaching at church, and as I looked through the editors, I noticed a few names (Philip Yancey for one - my very favorite writer!). I realized that that the editors of this series are some of the same editors who were working on a piece with me over the last year. Small world!

“Be honest, brutally honest. That is what’s going to maintain relationships.”

The only thing I could think of was this: Lauryn Hill is in jail right now for not being honest. Do as I say, not as I do, I guess. -_-‘

Attack on Titan, Episode 07: Grace, Guilt, and...
Another week, another terrific episode of Shingeki no Kyojin. But at this point, everything still feels like setup and context – when do we find out about some of these secrets (looks like very soon)? When will the troops start fighting back with ferocity (other than Mikasa)? When do we start getting to know the other characters?
I should sit back and just enjoy the series and all the...

30 Day Anime Challenge, Day 28
28. Do you share your anime interests with anyone?
In real life…not really. My wife will watch Miyazaki and Hosoda movies with me, and I have a friend who used to watch a lot of anime, but otherwise, no.
I do have a group of friends I’ve developed through my blog and through Twitter, and we chat anime all the time.

getting into anime as an adult is hard because one minute youre totally engaged with all these deep dark complicated issues like gender and sexuality and identity and existentialism and then the next minute the main characters turned into a car because the show creator just thought itd be cool

We have two really well-loved ramen places in town. I’ve eaten at one with my wife and we’re going there again soon, but I haven’t tried the other. Luckily, an old friend is coming in town, giving me the perfect opportunity to try the other. YES.
