[Reflection] Strolling Through Old Watches on MyAnimeList

By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting About eight or nine years ago, I drifted away from MyAnimeList. Not in the sense I stopped using it entirely, but more like I just stopped logging in frequently and stopped using it to save my watchlists.

Around that time I was a newly working professional and … Continue reading [Reflection] Strolling Through Old Watches on MyAnimeList

What to Watch: Spring 2026

By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting This upcoming season is ramping up to be one of the most stacked I’ve seen in years. Sure, the list of new and returning titles always feels long—but usually, I can narrow things down to about ten ā€œmust-watchā€ shows without too much trouble. This time I wasn’t even close to that. As I started pulling titles, I saw so … Continue reading What to Watch: Spring 2026

[Recommended Watch] Animal Partner by JJALTOON on YouTube
