Light & Shadow: Defining Nobility

Summary: Light & Shadow is about a princess whose kingdom has fallen. Princess Edna, raised as Prince Edan, kept her gender a secret growing up, especially from her father whose rule as king was best known for his cruelty and lack of leadership. She waited for her eventual succession of the throne while growing up, with plans to forever keep her gender a secret and aspirations … Continue reading Light & Shadow: Defining Nobility

Spirit King Elqueeness: Review, Analysis, & A Plea for More

Please like and share this post! Currently unlicensed in English (BUT NEEDS TO BE). You can see the Korean version here. According to the baka-updates, the manga has over 100 chapters out and according to me, this series deserves more attention, more love, and more translations! I read a lot, I mean a lot, of stories, particularly of the isekai genre lately, and this by … Continue reading Spirit King Elqueeness: Review, Analysis, & A Plea for More

The Obelian Royal Family: Claude and Athanasia, Revisited

If you’re reading this, you might have already read some of my many other posts on Who Made Me A Princess, particularly the post I made on Claude and Athanasia’s father-daughter dynamic. In this analysis, I want to discuss how their relationship is shifting in the opening chapters of Season 2.  Last time, I said that I thought Claude’s personality was appearing in Athanasia, “This aside, … Continue reading The Obelian Royal Family: Claude and Athanasia, Revisited

Theory: Athanasia’s Request

theanimeview: theanimeview: In chapter 45 we see the hint of something Athanasia asked Claude for–I believe that she asked for a portrait of them together. Here is why: First, in chapter 45, we see what is very likely to be the feet of an aisle twice:  I haven’t seen much discussion about the gift before, but that’s my theory. I bet that as season 2 … Continue reading Theory: Athanasia’s Request

Chapter 47

Okay, holy smokes. I just read chapter 47 and how shocking!  Claude is suddenly acting all cold like he was in the book, and I wonder if it’s because he lost a good amount of magic or because of some curse that has been hinted to earlier. It might be a while before we find out completely, but–in the meantime–let’s look at the imagery of … Continue reading Chapter 47

Revisited: Gold, Art, and Storytelling

I talked about this before, but I think it is worth repeating as the gold and yellow have remained a consistent aspect of storytelling within the series.  Previously, I stated that the dull yellow we see attached to Athy in earlier chapters seems to represent caution, decay, sickness, jealousy, instability and fear while the gold, sparkling yellow seen throughout the work, signifies success, wealth, and cheerful feelings. … Continue reading Revisited: Gold, Art, and Storytelling

Aggretsuko: An ASAP Must See

Netflix just dropped the Season 2 trailer for Aggretsuko and if you haven’t seen Season 1, it’s time to start watching. Season 1 hit home with an inside look into the new adult lifestyle. Audiences watched as Retsuko, a 25-year-old, anthropomorphic, red panda progressed through the daily trials and tribulations of a post-school working adult life, and it was real. In a Hello Kitty-esque art … Continue reading Aggretsuko: An ASAP Must See

I rewatched a few Yu-Gi-Oh episodes recently and…

I was reminded of what happens in the Doma the Dark Organization Arc based on the interactions Yugi has with his friends.   I love that particular arc because of how some of the characters react when Yugi’s soul is gone. Like, until then they only sort-of believed that Yami was another person with a different soul, but also not really, more like they thought he was a … Continue reading I rewatched a few Yu-Gi-Oh episodes recently and…
