We had some great discussion last time in the comments about anime OPs and I got some fantastic suggestions to add to the list. John Samuel mentioned the OPs for some great older series: Key the Metal Idol, Dirty Pair TV, Record of Lodoss Wars, and Serial Experiments Lain. I’ve heard of all except the… Continue reading Musical Attraction: Anime OPs and the Series They Represent (part 2.1)

Musical Attraction: Anime OPs and the Series They Represent (part 1)
The OP is often the first experience we have of an anime. It’s meant to ease us into the anime’s story and it usually tells us what kind of story we’re about to experience.

Christianity and My Little Pony: Pinkie Pie and Christian Stereotypes
Pinkie Pie is one of my favorite ponies in MLP: FiM because of her utter insanity and adorableness. She’s bouncy, happy, creepy, and funny all in one bright pink package. Like the rest of her pony friends, she’s a well-written character with many different sides that shine through as the series progresses and at times,… Continue reading Christianity and My Little Pony: Pinkie Pie and Christian Stereotypes
Christianity and My Little Pony: Celestia and Luna
Note: I’m reposting this since it was accidentally deleted while Blogger was having lots of issues. Sorry for the inconvenience! My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic is a children’s cartoon that has broken just about every negative stereotype of recent cartoons (especially those made for girls). Because it is actually a quality show, there are… Continue reading Christianity and My Little Pony: Celestia and Luna
