Theory: Now Entering the Demon King, Iruma!

By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting If you’ve ever studied Japanese you know that some things get dropped based on the context. For example, in English we pretty much always say, “my name is ___” or â€œI am ___.” However, in Japanese you can basically just respond â€œ___desu” (desu acting like a verb â€œ.”) and be fine. Outside of a context, you would probably state the â€œI am” part … Continue reading Theory: Now Entering the Demon King, Iruma!

Yashahime: Princess Half-Demon “It’s not a good sequel, it’s a nostalgia sale.”

By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting​ I know we’ve titled this with a controversial statement, but please wait and hold your judgment for the end. Here at The Anime View, during this long hiatus that has recently been brought to a close by my impatience (while we film and re-film everything a few hundred times for Jenna) we’ve been holding debates. One that we had … Continue reading Yashahime: Princess Half-Demon “It’s not a good sequel, it’s a nostalgia sale.”

My Nitpick Issue with Sherlock in Moriarty the Patriot

By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting​ It may surprise some of you to know that I have degrees in book reading and writing. While earning those degrees I studied one specific time period more than the others–that being British Literature from late-17th/18th century through the early 20th century. This is to say that it is a time period I know a little more about than … Continue reading My Nitpick Issue with Sherlock in Moriarty the Patriot

Cultivation Confusion? I have some links for that…

By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting I can’t be the only one confused by cultivation comics, right? Right?  I’ve probably added over 20 martial world type comics to my current reading list and, every time, I am faced with a new list of cultivation levels that literally make no sense.  Almost every series i read in these types of worlds have similar levels and correlating … Continue reading Cultivation Confusion? I have some links for that…

Brother, Brother! – Review: BLOOD OF ZEUS

By: Jenna Morgan | @jkmorgan-media I ended up loving this show, even though it honestly took a few episodes to really get me. Hera was my favorite character almost all the way to the end. I mean, who doesn’t like a powerful woman, right?  Seriously: DON’T MESS WITH A POWERFUL WOMAN WHO’S BEEN SCORN FOR DECADES BY HER HUSBAND! Not even by accident or indirectly. … Continue reading Brother, Brother! – Review: BLOOD OF ZEUS

Good or Bad? An Adaptation Review and Analysis of “Suppose a Kid from the Last Dungeon Boonies Moved to a Starter Town” Episode 1 (SPOILERS)

By: Peggy Sue Wood | @peggyseditorial​ Whenever I think about adaptations, I always try to remember that the anime and manga are different works. I try to enjoy them as you might enjoy two different books with similar premises, but that doesn’t mean I don’t compare them, and this series is pretty hard not to compare to its comic-counterpart. Suppose a Kid from the Last … Continue reading Good or Bad? An Adaptation Review and Analysis of “Suppose a Kid from the Last Dungeon Boonies Moved to a Starter Town” Episode 1 (SPOILERS)
