We are a Podcast with a Christ Walk and an Otaku Talk. The church and the anime community has rarely seen eye to eye, in this podcast we are bridging the gap. Spreading the gospel with an otaku point of view and giving both sides the opportunity to ask questions and get answers. But this podcast isn't all business we will also be talking about anime, manga, conventions, food, games and more. So, buckle up for a new outlook on the way we see anime and the church.

Rev’s Otaku Talk – Season 2 Ghibli Fest, Episode 8: Taking a Stand in the World of Pom Poko
In this episode of Rev’s Otaku Talk, Rev and K2 team up to explore Studio Ghibli’s Pom Poko (1994), a heartfelt story of community, resistance, and courage. Through the eyes of the tanuki, they dive into what it means to take a stand—even when the odds feel impossible. From their shape-shifting antics to their determination to protect their home, the film challenges us to consider how we live out our convictions when faced with change and struggle.
Together, Rev and K2 reflect on the deeper spiritual meaning behind “standing firm,” drawing from Ephesians 6:13, and how the tanuki’s courage encourages us to face our own battles with faith and resilience. Whether you’re a lifelong Ghibli fan or watching Pom Poko for the first time, this episode invites you into a conversation filled with fun, insight, and inspiration.
