[Review] Spy x Family CODE: White (Anime & Movie Spoilers!)

Written by: Katherine Cañeba | @kcserinlee I had been hoping to publish this post soon after having seen the movie, but life happened. So here I am, almost two years behind schedule. Still, better late than never! After the seemingly endless wait (for me, at least) from the Christmas 2023 release of the movie Spy x Family CODE: White in Japan to its North American … Continue reading [Review] Spy x Family CODE: White (Anime & Movie Spoilers!)

[Event Review] Yama-Con 2025

By: Krow Smith | @coffeewithkrow As someone who didn’t go to cons, I am certainly making up for it now. With Yama-Con being my third full convention experience in this year alone, I’m gathering quite a familiarity with them. While Yama-Con was well reviewed by Peggy (@pswediting) last year, I feel it’s time for an update on how it was for 2025. Instead of a … Continue reading [Event Review] Yama-Con 2025

[Recommended Read] Interesting Pokémon Read

By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting If you’re looking for a fascinating academic exploration of Pokémon, I highly recommend checking out “GOTTA CATCH ‘EM ALL: Capitalism, The War Machine, and the Pokémon Trainer” by Davin Heckman. It appears to be an “older” Internet text, published I-don’t-know-when, that offers a deep dive into the cultural significance of Pokémon and explores different features of the game and … Continue reading [Recommended Read] Interesting Pokémon Read

[Review] Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door Remake

By: Krow Smith | @coffeewithkrow In my opinion, Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (2004) is a perfect game. It was something that changed my brain chemistry with its hilarious story, vibrant visuals, fun gameplay, and energetic music. It was the perfect package, something I didn’t think they could make any better. Well, not until they released the remake on 23 May 2024! Now, in 2025, … Continue reading [Review] Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door Remake

[Review] Manga & Anime Workbook: Educational or Problematic?

By: Krow Smith | @coffeewithkrow I was homeschooled from 7th Grade to 10th Grade (ages 12 to 15) and it was not a great experience. In fact, when I re-entered public school, I was held back a grade because I was so behind on credits. The experience shaped how I view homeschooling and I can be very passionate about it. While homeschooling can help some … Continue reading [Review] Manga & Anime Workbook: Educational or Problematic?

[Review] My Alcoholic Escape from Reality: Going Nowhere & Being Okay With That

By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting Published in 2021, this book is what truly made me fall in love with Nagata Kabi’s work. Before this, I had read her famous My Lesbian Experience with Loneliness memoir-manga and a few other titles, but this one really solidified me as a fan of Nagata’s work. The story follows her experience with pancreatitis at age 31, and like … Continue reading [Review] My Alcoholic Escape from Reality: Going Nowhere & Being Okay With That

[Review] She Likes Gays, But Not Me: Teenage Cringe + Honesty = A Good Read?

By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting Recently, the Barnes & Noble in my new hometown in South Carolina faced a scare when their rental contract was about to expire. The situation caused a lot of commotion and led to a huge sale, which, of course, sent me into full-on “buy-all-the-books” mode. I ended up picking up over ten volumes of various series—some I had already … Continue reading [Review] She Likes Gays, But Not Me: Teenage Cringe + Honesty = A Good Read?

[Review/Recommendation] The Amazing Digital Circus

By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting Last week a lot happened that reenergized me and my passion for weird, animated, and wonderfully chaotic shows. One of the biggest highlights is that, after nearly six months, GLITCH finally dropped Episode 5 of The Amazing Digital Circus. Now, if you haven’t seen this series before, I definitely think you should check it out. Similar to shows like Vivziepop’s … Continue reading [Review/Recommendation] The Amazing Digital Circus
