In this episode of Comm Talk by Geek Devotions, Dallas sits down with Ron McKinney, the creator of Ascension After and founder of Studio Bless, a brand new studio dedicated to pointing people to Jesus through anime. Ron shares how the vision for Ascension After came about, the inspiration behind the characters, and why excellence in Christian media matters. We also talk about his creative influences (Naruto, Erased, Attack on Titan, My Hero Academia), how he’s building a team that’s like a band of brothers, and what it really means to stay grounded as a creative who's trying to follow God’s lead. If you’ve ever wondered what it takes to make a Christian anime that doesn’t feel cheesy, this is one worth checking out.
