Buddy Daddies: Found Family & Broken Childhoods

Two assassins get adopted by a little girl. This show is SO good #otakuthursday #buddydaddies #aniblogger

Hello, hello, and welcome to Otaku Thursday! It has been…a hot minute. I’m sure you’ve read Star’s catch-up post so you know that between illness, broken computers, impromptu trips, and birthday celebrations–we haven’t had a ton of time to do posts (or even watch anime). But here I am, trying to get us back on track with some anime reviews! Now, you might’ve noticed that last season I didn’t do…

In high school, one close friend would tell me about DBZ, and another about Sailor Moon. I'd listen but was really thinking, YOU NERDS.

Two decades later, they don't watch anime anymore while I'm going on 15 years as an aniblogger.

I guess I won. Slow and steady and all that.

Mechanized Monsters, Poké-Pulp Fiction, and Advancing Attitudes About Anime

At various times over the past couple of years, a 1999 Wall Street Journal article titled “Violent Japanese Cartoon Show Draws Kids’ Eyes, Parents’ Scorn” by Sally Beatty has popped back up on social media, finding a new audience almost 25 years after it was originally written. Users have had fun poking at the piece, which some have noted feeds into the anime (or specifically Pokémon) scare from around that time—but is it worthy of the scorn it’s now receiving?

A couple of our old-timers who were watching those series back in 1999, KhakiBlueSocks and Twwk, decided to dive into the article themselves and relive the late ’90s with the perspectives of 2024 anibloggers. And what they found was an article full of nostalgic goodness (if not from a “what is anime?” perspective) and one that now reminds us how far anime has come in the U.S. during the past two decades.

Anime, Manga, and Light Novel Blog Posts That Caught My Eye This Week (June 30, 2023)

Since this is the quieter week between seasons, I thought I’d have a short list this week. But anibloggers came through with non-seasonal posts, so I was able to have a decent sized list. 🙂 Here are the anime, manga, and light novel blog posts that grabbed my attention this week: Citrus (Season One) (by Lynn at The Otaku Author) Cyberpunk: Edgerunners (Season One) (by Lynn at The Otaku…

Critiquing Is Not Hating - You Can Love Something and Still Critique It.

Critiquing Is Not Hating – You Can Love Something and Still Critique It.

Today I want to take a quick look at the difference between critiquing and hating, because for some people the line between these two gets incredibly blurred. Though what I find more disturbing is how quickly someone who is critiquing something can be accused of hating. So let’s make it clear: Critiquing is not hating. This creates a clear problem for having a meaningful discussion (or any kind…

Hello everyone! This is my first ever blog/post in this personal blog of mine.

Why did I decide to do so? It was out of pure fun! I thought why not share some personal experience that I enjoy and some wholesome moments that I would love to look back on, and maybe have readers like you guys comment on it and share your own personal experience. I would love to meet more people here online.

What will you be expecting? Like I said from above, personal experience, wholesome memes, and a lot of references from anime, manga, movies and games. I would also like to do some online challenges that I see. Oh! I will also be posting the aesthetics that I like (for example from different manga’s, anime, or my own personal pictures without a face reveal of course)

Summer of SoL: Optimism and Learning to Hope

Are you an optimist or a pessimist?

Personally, I’d say that I’m a pessimist, if only because of my penchant for overthinking every single situation and action to the point of exhaustion. So why then am I such a fan of slice-of-life shows where, as one aniblogger puts it, “good things will happen to kind people, honest effort will ensure your dreams come true, and love will always save the day no matter the odds”?

Maybe it’s because slice-of-life encourages me to rest and enjoy life in its ordinary moments, and as I do this, I begin to see that there’s something to that boundless optimism. As I reflect, I realize that there’s something to learn from the hopeful attitude of slice-of-life shows. And maybe you will, too.

Cocoa, ever the optimist

The Beauty of Hope

Humans love stories. And especially stories with good endings. When we read tales of the underdog rising out of his poor circumstances to make a name for himself, or of the closest of friends reuniting after a long time apart, our hearts skip a beat. We feel a tugging in our chest. We yearn for the same happiness. We long for the same good ending.

And that’s what hope is. Hope is waiting expectantly for the good ending.

I waited patiently for the Lord; he turned to me and heard my cry. He lifted me out of the slimy pit, out of the mud and mire; he set my feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand.

Psalm 40:1-2

David tells us about a time that he waited on God and was rescued from his troubles. And deep down in our hearts, that just feels right. We want this happy ending too. We long to hope. We long for the joy that comes with that hope.

Hope is beautiful.

And we see a slice of that beauty (see what I did there?) in these shows. At the end of Is This Order a Rabbit? BLOOM, as the girls are celebrating New Year’s and hashing out their plans for the coming months, there’s no anxiety over whether their friendship will last—only excitement for what’s ahead. In Cocoa’s words, “As long as we’re together, any place on earth is fun to be. There’s no doubt!” Similarly, the girls of Laid-Back Camp encounter all sorts of obstacles during their camping adventures. But those trials don’t steal their joy. Sometimes, the trials even enhance it.

To every slice-of-life story there’s always a good ending. And in that way, slice-of-life reminds us that hope is worth it.

A Better Hope

But we pessimists might be quick to object. “Sure, we like good endings, and it’s great when your hopes aren’t disappointed. But that’s not how reality works! Things might work out in slice-of-life, but they don’t in real life. Real life is hard and messy and unrewarding and exhausting. In real life, hope just isn’t worth it.”

These are valid points! In some ways, at least. It’s true that real life is way more complex than slice-of-life. And in some ways, slice-of-life can start to feel like a child’s fantasy. Aren’t we just crafting worlds for ourselves where everything goes the way we want? Isn’t hope just wishful thinking?

It’s here that the biblical vision of hope begins to diverge from the hope on offer in slice-of-life. For while the hope that slice-of-life provides is beautiful, it’s nevertheless fragile. It can’t withstand the wear and tear of real life. It doesn’t last. It’s only a shadow, a shifting silhouette that slips away when night comes. But like all shadows, this fleeting hope is cast by something else: the hope of God, which will never fade away.

The Bible acknowledges the fragile nature of hope rooted in this world. However, it doesn’t despair of hope.

Why, my soul, are you downcast? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise him, my Savior and my God.

Psalm 42:5

The Psalmist knows that happiness in this world comes and goes. We laugh one moment and cry the next; our hearts are uplifted one day and downcast the next. But he also knows that there’s a joy that lasts, and it comes from hoping in God. When we put our hope in God—when we trust that he is taking the broken fragments of our lives and piecing them together into a grand story with a good ending—we will never be disappointed.

We know the story will end well, because we know the author of the story is good.

Learning to Hope

Because we don’t see the full thing just yet. We’re still here on earth. Our hearts hang heavy with the disappointment and injustice and chaos we experience. But we still have these shadows, which, like movie previews, show us a sneak peek of how the world is meant to be: a world full of purpose and redemption and reconciliation, a world that culminates in a good ending.

That world is what our hope in Christ promises us. Slice-of-life just reminds us that we were meant to live in that hope.

And as we catch glimpses of that hope, we begin to change. When we face our hardships with our eyes fixed on our hope in God, through the Holy Spirit, we begin to change. Though tempted to despair, we become resilient in joy. And resilient in joy, we begin to hope anew. We become people for whom hope is an instinct, a natural response. We become more and more optimistic (Romans 5:2-5).

In some sense, that explains the boundless optimism of slice-of-life. Cocoa and Nadeshiko and Rin aren’t just naïve, innocent children, exuding happiness because they haven’t faced difficulty. Rather, they’ve been transformed by hope. Through persevering in joy amidst adversity time and time again, they’ve learned to hope. They’ve learned to wait expectantly for the happy ending.

Of course, these characters live in a fictional world, so hope is a little easier. But we can still learn from their example. After all, happy endings aren’t just for cute anime girls in fantasy worlds. Through faith in Jesus, we know that there is a good ending to our own lives. In fact, Jesus even promises that he’s prepared the way to it himself! In him, we have a better hope than anything this world can offer.

May we wait expectantly for that good ending. May we exchange our fear of disappointment for an eager anticipation of joy. May we learn to hope.

Anime and Manga Blog Posts That Caught My Eye This Week (June 2, 2023)

Welcome to June 2023, everybody! We’re down to the final month of the Spring 2023 anime season, and I’m already seeing news items reminding me that the Summer 2023 season is almost literally just around the corner. At this point, I actually have a pretty good idea of which simulcasts I’ll be watching and writing about next season. I’m looking forward to seeing what series other anibloggers will…

DC’s Titans - filling the Infinity War void with the competition

I couldn’t sleep last night, I was subconsciously thinking about quick, witty lines to say to the player (also known as manwhore. What I call him depends on what mood I’m in) in a fantasy setting. For example, seeing him at the cinema and giving a speech on why he is what he is and why he will never be happy and all that stuff (my brain does this, it says “You’re fine” but when I try and go to sleep it goes “Nice try haha”).

So instead of trying to sleep, I decided to start a new series. I have a few anime on the Crunchyroll to watch but I can’t watch subbed at night because I get confused. But I decided on a real-life series. I really enjoyed Sons of Anarchy and Haunted so I knew I wanted to try something in the real-life section. Then in the Suggested row there it was, DC’s Titans.

I am half way through episode 2, my laptop died and I decided to call it a night by bringing in the lavender essential oil (my trump card).

From what I have seen so far, it is really good. The acting is brilliant and as someone who hasn’t read the comics or seen any DC Animated series, this series assumes you don’t know anything and tries to explain it to you without spoiling anything.

One thing I must point out, Brenton Thwaites, the actor who plays Robin/Dick Grayson, is super hot and is my new Netflix crush! Well done Brenton, you have overtaken Charlie Hunnam!
