By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting TL;DR: Overall, PokeKon Charleston felt less like a full convention and more like a small meetup. It may be enjoyable for locals, families, or collectors looking to buy cards, but it isnāt something Iād recommend planning an entire day or trip around. My Review: Last weekend, Krow and I attended PokeKon in Charleston, SC, and while I went in with … Continue reading [Event Review] PokeKon Fest – Charleston, SC 2025
By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting Sousou no Frieren 2nd Season / Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End Season 2 Frieren: Beyond Journeyās End is returning for a second season, and I couldnāt be more excited.

By: Katherine CaƱeba | @kcserinlee I freakinā love KPop Demon Hunters (KDH) (my favorite Saja Boy is Baby Saja, not counting Jinuāwhom pretty much everybody loves!) and many of you probably do, too! I watched KDH at least 30 times in as many days, watched something else, then came back to watch it another 10 times or so. The soundtrack was on repeat for weeks … Continue reading KPop Demon Hunters Fandom: Cultural Missteps and Growing Pains
By: Jenna Morgan | @jennasoccerm Author note: I refer to Ranma as āheā since thatās what he refers to himself as, even in a feminine form. Nostalgia! Seems to be the ticket to our eyes, hearts, and wallets. Producers have been doing this for what seems like decades nowāredoing everything that was made before that was deemed successful and loved. At this point, a lot … Continue reading Ranma 1/2: Akane’s Potential Pansexuality
