This week, we talk about Haibane Renmei’s exploratory style of storytelling and world-building, how it interacts with different cultural and Biblical mythologies (no Onii-sama Jesus this time, sorry), and how it ended up being unlike what any of us expected (both good and bad).

The Backloggers take an adventure into the past to explore Gaia Online and how much it’s changed… or not.

Stay tuned for Part 2!

A recent post was made discussing the topic of “Moe” within the anime industry. You can find a link to it here.
This post, while interesting in itself, has sparked a response from multiple camps of critics and fans of anime alike, with opinions of all kinds surrounding the article. Given the nature of the post, and its submission on a feminist positive blog, there has obviously been some blind emotion on the topic. However, some have come forward to give their feelings, critique, and attempt an actual conversation about the topic. We thought we might do this as well.
Since our website is run by three different people who each have relatively different views, we figured it’d be best to add to the conversation individually, noting our personal feelings on this subject. None of these will be an in-depth analysis on the topic, and one or all of us may do something like that later, but for now, here our thoughts on the post specifically and what it talks about.
