Anime Diet

The anime, religion, and ethics audio column returns after a long hiatus! This time, I’ll be tackling the burning question: why is the Hellsing Organization so insistently Anglican? Does it have anything to do with the real Church of England? Or is it all part of an elaborate Japanese fantasy? This is not a [...]

This is my latest audio column about the exploits of the Knights of the Order of Otaku. This film shows that even nerdy men can have courage and save a beautiful woman. Whether that woman will fall in love with the knight is a completely different story all together. But we do it for the [...]

Hi I hope you all had a happy Thanksgiving, or if you don’t celebrate it at all, a nice Thursday. Because this one ain’t happy, folks. This is best listened after a full stomach of food, maybe even sweets including a whole chocolate cake. Anyhow, listen to it at your own risk… Here comes the [...]

Yes, I know…School Days is long over and we should let Nice Boats be Nice Boats. But I conceived of this column’s content not long after I’d seen the final episode, as an expansion of my original review, and had been patiently waiting my turn to do the audio column about it….and otherwise out [...]

In this week’s “View from the AT Field”, I examine the fascination with “moe” using myself as a reference. I’m actually pressed for time, so sorry if this doesn’t sound as smooth as usual (read: I think this officially sucks). XD

I’ve included the article here – The View 02. Enjoy!

This is my first audio column so be gentle. The recent announcement about Death Note’s upcoming premiere on Adult Swim, led me to muse a bit about my struggle (and perhaps the struggle of other otaku) to share their love of anime with Non-Anime Fans. It’s kinda short, but I promise more in the [...]

Contains spoilers for Evangelion (what, you haven’t seen it?!) and Serial Experiments Lain. Well, I suppose my hiatus ends a few hours early today. Here I am. I’m back! Right now, I’m basically pinch hitting for both Jeremy and Ray, who couldn’t do an audio column today…this is the fastest thing I could concoct [...]

Warning: contains major spoilers for Bokurano. You heard Ray’s column: now it’s my turn! My column is called “Art and Soul,” which will be a biweekly audio column about anime, religion/Christianity, and ethics. It’s an attempt to integrate anime with what I spent the other 75% of my day doing–reading, studying, and praying theology. [...]

(For the official week1 audio column, click here.) This is what the first audio column was going to be before I decided not to post it…and it’s offensive, folks! It’s more offensive then my usual efforts. Feel free to download. But if you’re rather sensitive, please click here for part 1 of Mike’s excellent article [...]

The audio column represents our views/opinions/dissections of anime and other related or perhaps not quite related subjects with shots of humor/sarcasm/seriousness added. The first column is being presented by Ray Hu. The name of his column is “The View from the AT Field.” This week’s topic: “That Magical Element in Anime called “Fan service.” Short [...]
