     In addition to having preferences with what kind of anime people prefer, everyone also has their

own preferences as to how certain anime characters are seen. The first video of this reflection gives a

detailed history of the main character in the movie Lupin the 3rd: The Castle of Cagliostro. 

Basically, the main character in this movie is seen differently than he is in other works with this main

character for several reasons. 

     While the second video in this reflection also gets into this history, the main thing I focus on it is

the idea of equality seen in this movie.  Male characters are just as important as female characters,

which is usually seen in the works of Hayao Miyazaki.  If a female needs to be saved by a male,

which is usually the case in anime, then the male needs to be saved too by a female.  Examples of

this equality are seen in the anime movie Lupin the 3rd: The Castle of Cagliostro.

Monks in anime: The Boy and the Beast

 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=378rzrYQCxA - 3:34      The Boy and the Beast is not only another example of anime with a monk in it, but the video for this  reflection is also created by someone who talks more about this anime in the book Anime Impact.  Not  much is said about the monk character in this video until the end of this video and even then, this  character is only mentioned as one of the characters who helps explain what is going on in the movie.   This character is not even referred to as a monk, but as a pig since he is one of the beast people in the  world of beast people that exists separately from the human world.        I guess a world of beast people needs monks too.  I am not really sure what this monk does in terms of  how he lives differently than other people do.  He does live with the boy and the beast and help them both  with their training in the beast people w...

Anime Lectio: Luce's Crusade

                                                              1. Why do Anime Lectio?   Anime Lectio is a time for us to stop and take a breath. Between work, activities, family life, and social media, our minds are always moving. We rarely take time to contemplate and ask, why am I watching this anime? What’s the point of all this? And, how is this making me feel?  2. Put away all distractions  (phones, work, etc.) We are so enslaved to things that stimulate our minds.
