By: Krow Smith | @coffeewithkrow I finally decided to watch In The Land of Leadale as it has been on my “must-watch” list for quite some time now. Initially, when reading about it, I thought it would have a feeling akin to one of my favorites, The Saint’s Magic Power Is Omnipotent. Similarly, In The Land of Leadale is an isekai about a girl who … Continue reading In The Land of Leadale (Review)

By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting This year, I decided not to attend industry panels. Industry panels are typically reviews for release schedules of anime, manga, merchandise, and the like. While this can be fun to attend, it can also be a bit repetitive since most (if not all) of the titles being shared as new licenses (or titles that are set for release in … Continue reading Anime Expo 2023 – Industry Panels Master Post
By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting I love Middle Age-inspired stories, mostly because of their interpretation and integration of archetypal ideas regarding what it means to be a King, a Knight, or a Noble. It is something I’ve talked about several times on our blog and something I will undoubtedly continue to examine moving forward. However, rarely have I seen an address to the archetype … Continue reading [Analysis] The Return of the 8th Class Mage: What Makes A Mage (Spoilers)

Water can exist as a liquid, a gas, or a solid, and it can change its shape and form depending on its environment. Similarly, some people who identify … Continue reading [Commentary] The Fluidity of Water & Genderless Characters
Alien Idol is an incredible series by JIAE. This webcomic follows the story of Rama, a genderless alien of a race that has three naturally occurring sexes (male, female, and nonbinary). Rama has always identified as a woman, and would have been able to make that choice upon reaching legal adulthood on her planet in the next year or so. However, following her and her … Continue reading [Review] Alien Idol by JIAE
By:Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting In March, Crunchyroll created a series of articles breaking down how anime is made, from pre-production to localization. I waited to recommend this series as I wanted to be sure that all the features would be posted* prior to recommending it and because I wanted to see how much information overlapped with some of our previously posted content.** After reading, … Continue reading [Recommended Read] Crunchyroll – How Anime Is Made Feature Series
By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting I want to tell you all a little story about me. From my perspective as a former athlete. From the look on my coach’s face, I knew the fall I was about to take would not end well. My mother, her friend, and an ice rink full of people heard a deafening thunk noise over the chatter of a … Continue reading [Reflection] Endo and Kobayashi Live!

By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting They say “don’t look a gift horse in the mouth,” but let’s be real—we’ve all seen the horses I’m talking about. You know the ones that started by haunting the pages of romance manhwa and have since spread out to other genres? It’s hard to ignore them, especially when they look like untouched 3D models with riders drawn atop. … Continue reading [Commentary] Let’s Talk About The Horse
By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting MAL Expo Lite 2022 Review MyAnimeList’s first-ever Expo was a fun experience, consisting of a small selection of online events that aired from 17 February to 25 February 2022. While the online anime convention boom in 2021 was a hit, 2022 saw a return to in-person events, leaving a void for those who preferred the digital space.
