Ascendance of a Bookworm: I Don’t Understand Its Popularity

By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting A few years ago, I read the beginning volumes of Ascendance of a Bookworm. I thought it was okay and there was nothing in particular that hooked me. The explanations felt like the kind of tutorials and information I’d see in a Dr. Stone story, and the characters were as unrecognizable to me as almost any other reincarnation/isekai I … Continue reading Ascendance of a Bookworm: I Don’t Understand Its Popularity

A Recommended Watch for Content Creators

By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting I know I said I would not be putting out a post this week because it’s a holiday weekend and my birthday, and I’m on a hiatus, but I feel the need to write this. I, very recently (yesterday, in fact), had a very long conversation with a friend of mine about writing. She is in a graduate program … Continue reading A Recommended Watch for Content Creators

Recommended Reads for Using Comics In The Classroom

By: Peggy Sue Wood | @peggyseditorial​ / @pswediting I’ve been thinking a lot about comics in education lately. Partially because, as I’m writing this in March to prepare for my April/May hiatus, I’ve been preparing to present on the subject in a classroom and at a convention, but also because we’ve done several recommended watches on the subject here at The Anime View.  I’m really … Continue reading Recommended Reads for Using Comics In The Classroom

Dungeon Breaks Should Break the Economy, Right? (Analysis)

By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting This post is less of an analysis/review and more of a sincere question that I pose to anyone who is more knowledgeable on the subject of economics than myself. You see, I’ve been reading a lot of dungeon break comics such as The S-Classes That I Raised and Solo Leveling. While it is apparent that these hunters are making a lot of money, … Continue reading Dungeon Breaks Should Break the Economy, Right? (Analysis)

Spring 2022 Must Watch? The World of Otome Games is Tough for Mobs! (Recommended Watch/Read)

By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting​ Next month is the release of an anime I’ve been looking forward to, Trapped in a Dating Sim: The World of Otome Games is Tough for Mobs (or, in Japanese, Otome Game Sekai wa Mob ni Kibishii Sekai desu). There are a number of reasons I like this isekai, but the main one would probably be the unique approach it … Continue reading Spring 2022 Must Watch? The World of Otome Games is Tough for Mobs!

Return of the Blossoming Blade (Recommended Read)

By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting ​ This is already a pretty well known Webtoon series, but I haven’t seen any long-form reviews about it or analyses yet, so here I am, filling the potential void. Perhaps it’s a bit timely to do so now too, as tomorrow marks the Spring Equinox, meaning that–this week–countries are holding their annual flower festivities and celebrating. There is the … Continue reading Return of the Blossoming Blade (Recommended Read)

“Not Just a Princess:ā€ Women in Animation (Recommended Watch)ļæ¼

By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting​ It’s Women’s History Month (March for those that don’t know), and I have recently found myself in a lengthy discussion about women in animation and comics. Some of the discussion was industry based, and some were more geared towards depictions of women in comics, some favorites too, as well as prevalent resources we were looking at in regards to … Continue reading “Not Just a Princess:ā€ Women in Animation (Recommended Watch)ļæ¼

For Better or For Worse: A Revival of Jane Austen’s Concept of Good Marriages (Analysis/Review)

By: Peggy Sue Wood |Ā @pswediting​ I may not show it often, but I’m actually a huge sucker for a good romance. Personally, I enjoy Jane Austen’s approach to good marriages and finding love in the novel of Pride and Prejudice, which I find to be rarely emulated in romance fiction today (the movie’s depiction, of course, is very different). Austen typically wrote about the places … Continue reading For Better or For Worse: A Revival of Jane Austen’s Concept of Good Marriages (Analysis/Review)
