Let's Talk Anime: "Demon Slayer" and Special Guest!

03/01/22 • 49 min

We're getting a little nerdy today. Let's talk anime.
The ever-popular anime, Kimetsu no Yaiba (Demon Slayer, in English) just finished season two a few weeks ago. As an avid anime fan, Brittany is joined by her friend, roommate, and fellow missionary Rei to discuss their impressions of Kimetsu no Yaiba. Demons vs. ogres, the problem of sin and humanity, and Tanjiro as a Jesus-archetype? (Plus a little bilingual fun!)

Brittany also discusses why community is so important for people, as well as how the Christian community (i.e., the Church) is supposed to function as the ultimate, transcendent community through Jesus.
