By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting Hello, Everyone! We’re a little over half-way through 2023 now, and I believe now is an opportune time to reflect on some of the things we may have missed in 2022. While we at TAV haven’t typically done this in the past, I think it’s important to take a moment to look back and review some of the significant … Continue reading [Reflection] Things We Missed In 2022
By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting It has never been easier than now to pick up older anime. Older works are widely available on legal streaming sites like the YouTube channels of official license holders, Crunchyroll, Netflix, Funimation, Peacock, HIDIVE, and more. Moreover, many older works can be watched for free online without the need for a membership. Although some older anime may contain what … Continue reading [Recommendation] Picking Up Older Works Now
By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting Last weekend, on 3 July 2023, I presented the panel “Crossing Cultures: A Comparative Look at Manga & Comics.” I’ve certainly discussed this topic on here before and have presented shorter versions in the past (most recently at Fangaea 2023). This is a presentation share for those that attended or missed the panel and would like to see the … Continue reading Anime Expo 2023 – Presentation Share “Crossing Cultures: A Comparative Look at Manga & Comics”
By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting This year, I decided not to attend industry panels. Industry panels are typically reviews for release schedules of anime, manga, merchandise, and the like. While this can be fun to attend, it can also be a bit repetitive since most (if not all) of the titles being shared as new licenses (or titles that are set for release in … Continue reading Anime Expo 2023 – Industry Panels Master Post

Hello, Everyone! You may have noticed several typos, spelling, and grammar mistakes lately. (We’ve always had a few, but in recent posts, it has been really rough!) This was brought to our attention by one of our followers earlier this week (and we thank you sincerely!) and we have since discovered an issue in our drafting process that has been leaving several edits behind prior … Continue reading Letter From The Editor: Editing Overhaul Scheduled
By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting The Summer 2023 anime season is starting y’all–and a must-see I’ll be recommending is The Most Heretical Last Boss Queen: From Villainess to Savior. The premise of this type of story is pretty well established now: a girl finds herself reborn or transmigrated into the world of a game as the villainess character and must fight against their deathflags … Continue reading [Recommended Watch/Review] The Summer 2023 Must-See Is “The Most Heretical Last Boss Queen: From Villainess to Savior”
By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting Last October, I ordered a Kindle copy of The Shonen Jump Guide to Making Manga, a new book that delves into the art of creating manga. It was heavily advertised on MyAnimeList as well as promoted on Crunchyroll’s various Industry Panels, so I thought I’d give it a try. As I began skimming the opening pages, I couldn’t help … Continue reading [Book Review] “The Shonen Jump Guide to Making Manga”

By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting I love Middle Age-inspired stories, mostly because of their interpretation and integration of archetypal ideas regarding what it means to be a King, a Knight, or a Noble. It is something I’ve talked about several times on our blog and something I will undoubtedly continue to examine moving forward. However, rarely have I seen an address to the archetype … Continue reading [Analysis] The Return of the 8th Class Mage: What Makes A Mage (Spoilers)
