Anime Review #97: Digimon Adventure – Runaway Locomon

Anime Review #97: Digimon Adventure – Runaway Locomon

I was originally going to write a post about my experience at Toronto Comicon last Sunday, but in a break from tradition I'm going to postpone that to next week as I need to sort out how the heck I am going to plow the images I took without further sucking up WordPress' image hosting … Continue reading Anime Review #97: Digimon Adventure – Runaway Locomon

The Anti-Modernist Academia #7: High Guardians Of Modernism

The Anti-Modernist Academia #7: High Guardians Of Modernism

You know, I've always been a doubting St. Thomas kind of person - at least when it comes to things material. When someone makes a claim regarding X, I tend to hold it with a grain of salt until I see it for myself. Such was what happened about a year ago, I came across … Continue reading The Anti-Modernist Academia #7: High Guardians Of Modernism

East Meets West #27: Summer Wars .vs. WarGames

East Meets West #27: Summer Wars .vs. WarGames

Before Mamoru Hosoda released Summer Wars, the concept of an "evil AI" is a trope that had been explored countless times in Western media over the past decades. Far from the benevolent computer program such as Knight Rider from the eponymous 1983 series, or JARVIS from the Iron Man franchise, this system is one that … Continue reading East Meets West #27: Summer Wars .vs. WarGames

Anime Review #96: Digimon Tamers – Battle Of Adventurers

Anime Review #96: Digimon Tamers – Battle Of Adventurers

Digimon Tamers has to be, by far, the edgiest display of an episodic Digimon series. Spanning 51 episodes from 2001-2002, it shattered the traditionally family-friendly depiction of its two predecessors by adding its usual shtick of action-packed battle sequences and great musical tracks with depictions of mental trauma, demonic possession, Lovecraftian horror beings, and to … Continue reading Anime Review #96: Digimon Tamers – Battle Of Adventurers

The Anti-Modernist Academia #6: Revolution In Robe And Wand

What do Thomas Reese, Emmanuel Milingo and Kyle Haden have in common with Frs. John Courtney Murray, Edward Schillebeeckx, and Annibale Bugnini? All of them are/were members of the Catholic clergy who professed Modernist heresy to a degree. They reject one or more of the Church's dogmatic teachings, have a progressive outlook of its future, … Continue reading The Anti-Modernist Academia #6: Revolution In Robe And Wand

Anime Review #95: I Want To Eat Your Pancreas

Anime Review #95: I Want To Eat Your Pancreas

I've finally found an anime that comes off similar to a novel/flick from the golden yet seemingly distant days of middle school, named Nicholas Sparks' A Walk To Remember, which tells the story of an outgoing, popular boy falling in love with a shy, distant Protestant girl despite their initially rocky start. And the anime … Continue reading Anime Review #95: I Want To Eat Your Pancreas

East Meets West #26: Japanese Digimon Movies .vs. Digimon – The Movie

Ooooh, I think it's time for another Digimon post. For this month's East Meets West, I'm going to be doing something that I've never done before here (surprisingly enough): compare the original Japanese version of a particular movie to a dubbed version. You might be wondering why I just don't do this with all the … Continue reading East Meets West #26: Japanese Digimon Movies .vs. Digimon – The Movie
