What’s the point?
For whatever reason, a lot of Catholics watch or have watched anime. And as Catholics we’re really good at finding God in all things.
This blog is my attempt to share the insights I’ve had so that others don’t have to think “I am the only one seeing this?!”
This isn’t new either, Christians have been taking the spoils of pagans for centuries just as the Hebrews despoiled the Egyptians at Passover. St. Basil the Great has a short address to young men on this exact topic. Read it online. Or download it for later.
About the name
There is an old prayer that begins Anima Christi i.e “Soul of Christ” In short it’s simply a pun… but if Christ is God and King of all things, then all that is good in the world belongs to Him – including seeds of the Word present in pop culture like anime. And if they belong to Him, they can point us back to Him if we follow their threads.
