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 meālife has been a bit hectic lately. Iām 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.

By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting Letās just get this out of the way: I didnāt 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 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 itās shared in the pinned post (“The Editor’s Presentation”) on our blog, Iām 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 loveācomics 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
Source: Pokemon Journeys, episode: āSplash, Dash, and Smash for the Crown! Slowking’s Crowning!ā Iāve been rekindling my PokĆ©mon obsession, which has, in my opinion, remained pretty budget-friendly. While rekindling that obsession, I was reminded of the Magikarp Jump game that I used to play a lot. Itās a free-to-play game and one that I was actively playing for a long time and one which recently … Continue reading [Game Review] Magikarp Jump

By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting Triad Anime Con (TAC) is considered one of the largest, most well-known anime conventions in North Carolina. When I first heard about the event in 2024, it was recommended to me as one of the best conventions (along with Queen City) within the stateās anime community. It is said to draw in large attendance numbers and offers a variety … Continue reading [Event Review] Triad Anime Con 2025: A Fun Saturday
