By: Katherine Cañeba | @kcserinlee We are well into the winter anime season, and a certain show called The Apothecary Diaries (Kusuriya no Hitorigoto) should be on your watchlist if it isn’t already. I saw the poster for it on my Crunchyroll homepage back in January, and I recalled seeing the trailer being unveiled at Anime Expo 2023. It left a lasting impression on me … Continue reading [Recommended Watch] The Apothecary Diaries
By: Katherine Cañeba | @kcserinlee TL/DR This was a very enjoyable and well-attended mid-tier convention (around 15,000 attendees) with a lot of official vendors, art vendors, and English VAs hosting panels/meet-and-greets. Spend one day if you’re mainly planning to shop; spend two days if you also want to attend panels. Plan to arrive as soon as possible in the morning because once parking at the … Continue reading [Event Review] Anime Pasadena 2023
By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting The Boy and The Heron, GKIDS/Ghibli’s latest movie, was something I learned of completely by accident while scrolling through the Fandango App. I was on the search for suggestions of films to see on my first day off in a long while. What initially surprised me, considering I run an anime blog and have seen literally nothing about this … Continue reading The Boy and The Heron: Disappointing (SPOILERS)
By: Peggy Sue Wood July 2023 was a difficult time for me. Originally, this was supposed to go up soon after the AX convention, but I missed the opportunity to do so at the time. I was focused more on enjoying the convention itself since two of my friends joined me and I was dealing with personal things at home, but here is, essentially, my … Continue reading [Things Missed] Anime Expo 2023: Attendee & Presenter Experience
By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting July 2023 was a difficult time for me. Originally, this was supposed to go up soon after the AX convention, but I missed the opportunity to do so at the time. Community panels are typically things like awards, social events, and other community-building events/panels that occur at a convention (like, for example, a town hall meeting, a bag-lunch luncheon, … Continue reading [Things Missed] Anime Expo 2023 – Community Panels Post
By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting July 2023 was a somewhat difficult time for me. Originally, this was supposed to go up soon after the AX convention, but I missed the opportunity to do so at the time. I decided not to attend industry/business panels during AX 2023. Industry panels are typically reviews for release schedules of anime, manga, merchandise, and the like. While this … Continue reading [Things Missed] Anime Expo 2023 – Business Panels Post!
By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting You all probably don’t need me to say it, but Solo Leveling is a must-see going into the Winter 2024 season. This is a huge title in the dungeon break genre and a complete series with full translation available on TappyToon. Solo Leveling is based on the popular webtoon and novel of the same name, written by Chugong. The … Continue reading [Recommended Watch] Winter 2024 Must See Dungeon Break: Solo Leveling
By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting Comic editing and book editing are different in several ways. Comics include layout and visual elements; there are scripts (like movies) and pacing to consider; oftentimes the work is collaborative with different writers, artists, colorists, etc.; and there is even a difference in how marketing targets the audiences of the medium. However, editing involves more than just content. It … Continue reading [Recommended Read] Comic Editing
By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting Author Note: Season 5, the final season, ended in February of this year and has been reviewed extensively. As such, rather than a review or analyzing the season, I just want to take a moment to chat with you all about how I’ve been reflecting on the end of this series. With that in mind, thanks for reading! I … Continue reading [Reflection] Relatable Ended Long Ago In Netflix’s Aggretsuko
By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting When I think about Alice in Wonderland, I think about a professor who told me that Alice’s story is one about growing up. It is a coming-of-age tale, but one that takes the perspective of growing up being a collection of ridiculous rules and conventions that everyone eventually learns to adjust to, or else! The idea is that as … Continue reading [Recommended Read] Pandora Hearts
