By: Peggy Sue Wood |Â @pswediting MANGA MIRAI is a digital manga reading app and website that appears to have launched on March 4, 2025, based on my Google search and their press release. As a newer platform, the expectations are a little low for what they may offer but I think that the catalog is surprisingly robust for a launch that’s only a few months … Continue reading [Review] A Quick Look At MANGA MIRAI
By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting KPop Demon Hunters is now streaming on Netflix, and I have to say—this is quickly becoming a must-watch. Even if the plot doesn’t fully grab you, the pop music alone makes it worth your time. The film released on Friday, June 20, 2025, and if your YouTube feed is anything like mine (especially if you follow a lot of animation … Continue reading A Must Watch: KPop Demon HuntersÂ
Anime Expo kicks off this coming weekend, and honestly? It feels nearly impossible to narrow down on what to focus on and when. So much has happened this past week in the world of anime, manga, and fandom that I’ve been completely overwhelmed trying to figure out what to cover—and how to adjust the blog post schedule to include it all in a timely, organized … Continue reading A PREVIEW FOR THIS WEEK…
By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting I’m not sure what it is about Summer seasons, but they’ve been disappointing me for years now. I usually struggle to find a handful of titles I want to watch and end up finding one or two that I really like out of those when the other seasons seem to offer so much more. Well, looks like that’s about … Continue reading Summer 2025: My Anime Watchlist
By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting I’m not sure what I was expecting here, but I’m sure it was not positive when first entering the theater. I’ve seen enough live action remakes to know that the story being a remake is really the key issue for me. A new version, if it were called that, would be much better received in my opinion. Something that’s … Continue reading [Movie Review] How To Train Your Dragon – Live Action (2025): I’m Surprised
Hello, Everyone! Just a quick update from me—life has been a bit hectic lately. I’m incredibly grateful for the many highs this year has brought so far, but I also want to be honest and acknowledge that there have been a few lows recently, too. Most notably, I’ve had some unexpected personal expenses come up, and I’ve realized that attending Anime Expo this year just … Continue reading Update from Peggy
By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting Let’s just get this out of the way: I didn’t walk into Dan Da Dan: Evil Eye expecting a good story. I watched the anime, after all, and I already knew what kind of chaotic energy and uncomfortable sexualizing of minors that this franchise brings to the table. Beyond aliens, ghosts, telekinesis, and the prior mentioned assaulting of underage … Continue reading [Movie Review] Dan Da Dan: Evil Eye (2025) is A GIANT RED FLAG (SPOILERS)
By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting Last weekend, MomoCon marked its 20th anniversary at the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta, drawing thousands of attendees for a celebration of anime, gaming, and pop culture. Founded in 2005 as a student-run event at Georgia Tech, the convention has since grown into one of Georgia’s most beloved and well-established anime conventions. This was my first time attending … Continue reading [Event Review] MomoCon & Their Inaugural Academic Symposium
By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting Hello, Everyone! At Banzai Con 2025, I presented a panel on the rise of Chinese anime (donghua) both in the US and abroad. As usual, I forgot to make a post about the individual presentation! While it’s shared in the pinned post (“The Editor’s Presentation”) on our blog, I’m working on being better about sharing my presentations through individual … Continue reading The Rise of Chinese Anime!
By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting It has been an odd but good start to the year for me and because of a more relaxed schedule I’ve been reading (and watching) a lot more of the medium I love—comics and animation. Around January, I got really into picking up webtoon titles and I was recommended The Regressed Mercenary Has a Plan, which is what I … Continue reading [Recommended Read] The Regressed Mercenary Has a Plan
