By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting Sousou no Frieren 2nd Season / Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End Season 2 Frieren: Beyond Journeyās End is returning for a second season, and I couldnāt be more excited. The first season was a beautifully slow-paced series and, in recent seasons, the only show Iāve found comparable is Mizu Zokusei no Mahoutsukai / The Water Magician from last summer, which … Continue reading Winter 2026 Watch List
I love ita-bagsāwell, actually, I love bags in general. I have quite a few (the picture above being the ita-bags that are currently out), and recently I had to downsize after realizing my consumer habits were veering into full-blown shopaholic territory. This tendency hasn’t been helped by being offered entry into the Amazon Vine program, which provides access to productsāincluding bagsāat a very nice discount … Continue reading Picking An Ita-bag For You (or A Friend) #NotSponsored
By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting December has started again, yet it isnāt the holiday season for me until Iāve re-read Yoroshiku Master (Sweet Rein, in the English translation)… again! A few years ago, I wrote about the series here, andāexciting newsāthe English translation is finally available on Amazon once more. Iām absolutely elated, and decided that I must discuss this series again in the hopes that … Continue reading [Recommended Read] Let me tell you all about Sweet Rein… again~
(Belated) Happy Thanksgiving, Everyone! I hope you all had a cozy, food-filled holiday (and maybe got yourself something fun in the Black Friday sales)! I know this post is a couple days late, but between my full-time job, part-time job, and a whirlwind East-to-West Coast trip (literally one day to get there, one day there, one day to get back), things got hectic fast this … Continue reading (Belated) Happy Thanksgiving!
When I first wrote about Mieruko-chan last year, I couldnāt stop thinking about the classroom scene in Episode 1 where the teacher asks, āWhat do you think is the authorās intent? Imagine if you turned into a tiger. What is it like to have part of your humanity stripped away?ā (MIERUKO-CHAN, Episode 1) As we now know, or assume, this is a reference to āThe Beast … Continue reading Mieruko-chan & The Tiger
By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting Hi, everyone! This week’s post is a little different. It’s more about research and media literacy than anything else. Here is my sort of joking conspiracy theory about the Internet right now: Teachingāand writingāin 2025 feels a little unreal. AI is everywhere, search engines summarize before they share what you are looking for, and every time I go online … Continue reading My Elusive Tiger: A (semi-joking) Conspiracy Theory! [Rant]
By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting As of Episode 5, I feel like Who Made Me a Princess has been making enough distinguishable differences that itās truly becoming its own series. And honestly? Itās better than I initially thought or gave it credit for in my initial review. The first three episodes left me underwhelmed, especially as a longtime fan of the webtoon. However, with … Continue reading Follow-Up: Who Made Me a Princess (Episodes 1-5 Impressions + Spoilers!)
By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting Thereās something about October that makes me crave the comforts of childhood. In years past, I was so in want of comfort that I often skipped the fall altogether to start preparing for Christmasāso no pumpkins, candy, or anything else fall-inspired aside from the fashion. Now, I feel a little bold saying this online, especially since my friends feel … Continue reading Halloween Nostalgia: Scoobtober on YouTube
By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting The Fall 2025 anime season is upon us and here are the titles I’m most interested in so far: Ranma Ā½ (2024) ā Season 2 The gender-bending martial arts comedy returns after a lively first season, and I couldnāt be more excited! The reboot captured the charm of the classic ā90s anime so well that Iām already totally in … Continue reading Anime To Look Forward To ā Fall 2025
By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting The anime adaptation of Who Made Me A Princess premiered this season, and after watching the first three episodes I find myself… underwhelmed. As someone who loves the webtoon (writing about it several times on this blog), I have eagerly been awaiting the show to see how the story’s style and characters would translate into animation. Unfortunately, much of … Continue reading First Impressions: Who Made Me A Princess Anime Adaptation (Spoilers!)
