Animation Made Weird: What the F*** is Happening in Anime Streaming Right Now?

By: Anonymous If youā€™re an anime fan in the late 2025 era, youā€™ve probably been asking yourself some version of this question:Is anime becoming inaccessible on purposeā€¦ or are we just living in some kind of early streaming dystopia? Anime has hit mainstream. Thanks to streaming giants, global fandom, and TikTok/YouTube viralityā€”animation is no longer just a weird little niche for nerds in the West. … Continue reading Animation Made Weird: What the F*** is Happening in Anime Streaming Right Now?

[Recommended Read] Let me tell you all about Sweet Rein… again~

By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting December has started again, yet it isnā€™t the holiday season for me until Iā€™ve re-read Yoroshiku Master (Sweet Rein, in the English translation)… again! A few years ago, I wrote about the series here, andā€”exciting newsā€”the English translation is finally available on Amazon once more.

KPop Demon Hunters Fandom: Cultural Missteps and Growing Pains

By: Katherine CaƱeba | @kcserinlee I freakinā€™ love KPop Demon Hunters (KDH) (my favorite Saja Boy is Baby Saja, not counting Jinuā€”whom 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

Ranma 1/2: Akane’s Potential Pansexuality

By: Jenna Morgan | @jennasoccerm Author note: I refer to Ranma as ā€œheā€ since thatā€™s 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 nowā€”redoing 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

Mieruko-chan & The Tiger

When I first wrote about Mieruko-chan last year, I couldnā€™t stop thinking about the classroom scene in Episode 1 where the teacher asks, ā€œWhat do you think is the authorā€™s intent? Imagine if you turned into a tiger. What is it like to have part of your humanity stripped away?ā€ (MIERUKO-CHAN, Episode 1) As we now know, or assume, this is a reference to ā€œThe Beast … Continue reading Mieruko-chan & The Tiger

My Elusive Tiger: A (semi-joking) Conspiracy Theory! [Rant]

By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting Hi, everyone! This week’s post is a little different. It’s more about research and media literacy than anything else. Here is my sort of joking conspiracy theory about the Internet right now: Teachingā€”and writingā€”in 2025 feels a little unreal. AI is everywhere, search engines summarize before they share what you are looking for, and every time I go online … Continue reading My Elusive Tiger: A (semi-joking) Conspiracy Theory! [Rant]

Follow-Up: Who Made Me a Princess (Episodes 1-5 Impressions + Spoilers!)

By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting As of Episode 5, I feel like Who Made Me a Princess has been making enough distinguishable differences that itā€™s truly becoming its own series. And honestly? Itā€™s better than I initially thought or gave it credit for in my initial review. The first three episodes left me underwhelmed, especially as a longtime fan of the webtoon. However, with … Continue reading Follow-Up: Who Made Me a Princess (Episodes 1-5 Impressions + Spoilers!)

Halloween Nostalgia: Scoobtober on YouTube

By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting Thereā€™s something about October that makes me crave the comforts of childhood. In years past, I was so in want of comfort that I often skipped the fall altogether to start preparing for Christmasā€”so no pumpkins, candy, or anything else fall-inspired aside from the fashion. Now, I feel a little bold saying this online, especially since my friends feel … Continue reading Halloween Nostalgia: Scoobtober on YouTube
