[Analysis] Natsume Yuujinchou: A Place for Yokai in the Modern World
By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting Note: Hello, Everyone! So, last summer I took a special course on anime and Japanese culture. During that course, I completed a project discussing Japan’s cultural background regarding spiritual beliefs (Shintoism, yokai, etc.) and how these beliefs and myths influence animation and other entertainment media in Japan. For part of the project, I discussed how the mythos lives on … Continue reading [Analysis] Natsume Yuujinchou: A Place for Yokai in the Modern World
[Recommended Manga / Review] Villainess Level 99 ~I may be the Hidden Boss, but I’m not the Demon Lord~
By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting Like many other “I reincarnated into an otome game as the villainess” stories, Villainess Level 99 features a main character, Eumiella Dolkness, who has very little intent of following the main plot. One nice difference, however, is that she doesn’t have to actively fight against fate to do this. As the hidden boss, Eumiella needs only to avoid becoming … Continue reading [Recommended Manga / Review] Villainess Level 99 ~I may be the Hidden Boss, but I’m not the Demon Lord~
[Movie Review & Spoilers] GOT TO LOVE SLIMES! “That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime the Movie: Scarlet Bond”
By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting Reincarnation has been a popular premise in anime and manga (generally fiction as a whole) for some time, allowing characters to come back from death in a new form and allowing them/us to explore a different version of life in another world or the same one from a new perspective. That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime is … Continue reading [Movie Review & Spoilers] GOT TO LOVE SLIMES! “That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime the Movie: Scarlet Bond”
[Recommended Read / Manhwa Review] Dungeon Break With A Female Lead: I Stole the Number One Ranker’s Soul
By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting I’ve been reading a lot of dungeon break comics lately, and I’m really enjoying the genre in manhwas. The art style, which emphasizes clean lines, lighting, and shadows, is reminiscent of Jang-Sung Rak’s work in Solo Leveling. The majority of these comics focus primarily on action, with romance taking a back seat, if it appears at all. However, I … Continue reading [Recommended Read / Manhwa Review] Dungeon Break With A Female Lead: I Stole the Number One Ranker’s Soul

New Year, Same Goals?!
Hi, Everyone! Things sort of fell apart halfway through last year for me, which resulted in posts coming out late or not at all. This year, I’m going to try and be better and more consistent. My goals for TAV are similar to last year. I want to get a post out every week for you all to enjoy, and I want to get our … Continue reading New Year, Same Goals?!
[Recommended Watch] UN-GO: A Missed Series
By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting Years ago, when I first watched UN-GO, I thought for sure this series would hit BIG. If not that year, maybe a year or two down the line as people had more time to catch up on it. However, after a decade of seemingly no coverage, I can’t help but want to shed light on this missed opportunity of … Continue reading [Recommended Watch] UN-GO: A Missed Series
Muffy: Will You Give Her A Wonderful Life?
By: Casea Smith | @coffeewithkrow On one fateful Christmas day, I got Harvest Moon: A Wonderful Life. This was not only the first farming simulator I ever played but also the first game I had ever played that allowed (or, in this case, required) you to marry someone. It was revolutionary to me as a child, and it opened my mind to a new way … Continue reading Muffy: Will You Give Her A Wonderful Life?
Blog Update
Hello, Everyone! We appreciate your patience during the last few months and at this time, as things have been delayed through the latter half of this year. Many changes behind the scenes have been occurring and notifying you all, our readers, has not always been at the forefront while things are going on (though we’ve tried to be on top of it!). As an editorial … Continue reading Blog Update
A Better Bookworm: Bibliophile Princess [Short Review/Recommendation]
By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting Back in April, I wrote a post criticizing Ascendance of a Bookworm‘s main character, Myne, for liking bookmaking or the idea of reading rather than actual books. I stand by that statement still, as I feel like most of the series is still more about Myne and an isekai journey to being the greatest protagonist than it is about … Continue reading A Better Bookworm: Bibliophile Princess [Short Review/Recommendation]
