[Recommended Watch] “How Queer Characters Have Evolved In Children’s Animation | Movies Insider”

By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting This video from Insider came out two years ago but still stands as a great, brief summarization of LGBTQ+ representation in (predominantly) US animation. I’d like to recommend this watch to anyone vaguely interested in the topic of representation and its role in media today.  It is a short watch, totaling about 12 minutes, and helps to define major … Continue reading [Recommended Watch] “How Queer Characters Have Evolved In Children’s Animation | Movies Insider”

[Commentary] The Fluidity of Water & Genderless Characters

By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting Water and fluidity are often used as metaphors when discussing some nonbinary or non-conforming gender identities because they are both characterized by their ability to take on different shapes and forms. Water can exist as a liquid, a gas, or a solid, and it can change its shape and form depending on its environment. Similarly, some people who identify … Continue reading [Commentary] The Fluidity of Water & Genderless Characters

Alien Idol is an incredible series by JIAE. This webcomic follows the story of Rama, a genderless alien of a race that has three naturally occurring sexes (male, female, and nonbinary). Rama has always identified as a woman, and would have been able to make that choice upon reaching legal adulthood on her planet in the next year or so. However, following her and her … Continue reading [Review] Alien Idol by JIAE

[Recommended Read] Crunchyroll – How Anime Is Made Feature Series

By:Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting In March, Crunchyroll created a series of articles breaking down how anime is made, from pre-production to localization. I waited to recommend this series as I wanted to be sure that all the features would be posted* prior to recommending it and because I wanted to see how much information overlapped with some of our previously posted content.** After reading, … Continue reading [Recommended Read] Crunchyroll – How Anime Is Made Feature Series

[Event Review] Fangaea 2023 – A Fantastic Fandom Experience!

By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting TL/DR I would say that this is an excellent starting place for first-time attendees to fan/anime conventions. It is a PG-13/TV-14 friendly event based on the content I saw displayed. The overall cost of the ticket was relatively cheap too (about $20 for online purchase, and $25 at the door). (“Cheap” cost in terms of the local area—I recognize … Continue reading [Event Review] Fangaea 2023 – A Fantastic Fandom Experience!

By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting I want to tell you all a little story about me. From my perspective as a former athlete. From the look on my coach’s face, I knew the fall I was about to take would not end well. My mother, her friend, and an ice rink full of people heard a deafening thunk noise over the chatter of a … Continue reading [Reflection] Endo and Kobayashi Live!

[Commentary] Let’s Talk About The Horse

By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting They say “don’t look a gift horse in the mouth,” but let’s be real—we’ve all seen the horses I’m talking about. You know the ones that started by haunting the pages of romance manhwa and have since spread out to other genres? It’s hard to ignore them, especially when they look like untouched 3D models with riders drawn atop. … Continue reading [Commentary] Let’s Talk About The Horse
