Comic Con 2020 Online – Recommended Watches & Why

Credit: Peggy Sue Wood | @peggyseditorial WHY NOT NOTES? Way back at the end of July, when Casea, Jenna, and I were reviewing panels and preparing notes, we quickly found that some panels were better watched then written out. While we can, and often do, attempt to pull out information from panels that we find most interesting or relevant to you all in the readership, … Continue reading Comic Con 2020 Online – Recommended Watches & Why

Akuyaku Reijo Nanode Rasubosu o Katte Mimashita: A Review

By: Peggy Sue Wood | @peggyseditorial​ In the ever-growing stock of isekai mangas featuring young women reborn in an otome game, what stands out to me about Akuyaku Reijo Nanode Rasubosu o Katte Mimashita is that Aileen/Irene (our main character) isn’t being given the full story of the game like her contemporaries. This is something her antagonist, and the game’s original protagonist, Lilia, seems to have gotten … Continue reading Akuyaku Reijo Nanode Rasubosu o Katte Mimashita: A Review

The Wolf Lord’s Lady: Ghosts of the Past (Analysis)

By: Peggy Sue Wood | @peggyseditorial​ Many things stand out about The Wolf Lord’s Lady. Particularly in how it opens–with our main character’s life completely falling apart. Her family, dead. Her lover, a spy. Her only options are living a life of solitude in a monastery or death. She chooses death, embracing the burdening sins of her family. All while putting on a cruel persona as … Continue reading The Wolf Lord’s Lady: Ghosts of the Past (Analysis)

What It Takes to be a Villainess: A Review

By: Peggy Sue Wood | @peggyseditorial – Series suggested by: @stormyheart326​ Writer’s note: It’s been a LONG time since this series was suggested, and I’m sorry about that. However, it’s finally here! So, let’s jump in! – What is there to say about this series?  It’s kind of a model of its sub-genre for being reborn into the villainess role–an industry standard, so to speak, regarding … Continue reading What It Takes to be a Villainess: A Review

WMMP: OKAY, just a minute here…

I love that Lilian York, on at least three separate occasions, used Felix as a wall/shield. And the look on her face–like, â€œAugh. I want to go home. I’m tired.” Is just so hilarious to me. Like, she’s not hanging out with other women, nor men–she literally came to these parties for some reason (like an obligation, maybe?) and just decided to hang out with Felix whenever … Continue reading WMMP: OKAY, just a minute here…

The Obelian Royal Family: The Heir

theanimeview: I was thinking about Chapter 7 of “Suddenly I Became a Princess One Day,” particularly this scene:   and it got me thinking about The Obelian Royal Family and heirs to the throne. By all indication (that I hear) of the novel, and in our telling thus far, Athanasia seems to have a secure spot as future Emperor (rather, Empress) of the empire. I’m not going to … Continue reading The Obelian Royal Family: The Heir

So after wallowing for a week I decided to write a random short post and aim for something longer next week. (Be … Continue reading (Analysis) Random Art Appreciation!

The Summer of Online Anime Cons – Review!

By: Peggy Sue Wood | @peggyseditorial​ OKAY. This review has been way overdue, but in my defense, I wanted to wait until Summer was officially over, and for me, that meant the Crunchyroll Expo needed to happen before making this post. So let’s get into it: This summer, in addition to the Big Three Anime Weekend (where people could attend Anime Expo Lite, Funimation Con … Continue reading The Summer of Online Anime Cons – Review!

(Analysis) Master of Bending: Prince Zuko

By: Peggy Wood | @peggyseditorial​ I saw someone one TikTok mention this but I couldn’t remember well enough if it was true and started re-watching ATAR to check. Sure enough, it was true! While Aang is learning the four elements of bending, Zuko is too and it starts a lot earlier than when Iroh tells him about learning how to redirect lightening. As early. as … Continue reading (Analysis) Master of Bending: Prince Zuko
