(THEORY) The Goddess Reborn: I Choose the Emperor Ending

By: Peggy Wood | @peggyseditorial You know that song, “[What If God Was] One Of Us” by Joan Osborne? I Choose the Emperor Ending reminds me a lot of that song, mainly because Marina, better known as Rino or the Technician in the story, is the world’s “goddess” without anyone knowing it. That, I think, is something we can all agree on. But, what if Marina’s chosen … Continue reading (THEORY) The Goddess Reborn: I Choose the Emperor Ending

Theory: Rurahel – A Guardian Spirit? (The Twin Siblings’ New Life)

By: Peggy Wood | @peggyseditorial​ So, I was re-reading the available chapters of The Twin Siblings’ New Life, and I think Rurahel might be a guardian spirit. I think she might have been the Emperor’s former spirit guardian. Hear me out, okay? Thus far, we’ve seen that the spirits are very attached to their persons. They do not have to be next to their persons–but they … Continue reading Theory: Rurahel – A Guardian Spirit? (The Twin Siblings’ New Life)

Resources for Manga Studies

(Image Source)  An essential part of collegiate studies is the idea of presentation and publication – offshoots, primarily, of paper submission. As such, it may be hard to find appropriate resources for one’s paper on manga in the US or find the right place to submit once your professor has had a look (if you’ve even written one on the subject). In other cases, some … Continue reading Resources for Manga Studies

Comic-Con@Home – Warner Archive’s  Secret Origin of Saturday Morning Cartoons – Notes!

The Transition of Cartoons Into Television: Warner Brothers started out as shorts and moved into television shows. New York television had a lot of airtime to fill, so they used copious amounts of cartoons all through the day and week. Not just on Saturday mornings. Then the networks got involved, noticing a regular audience they could captivate, realizing that Saturday morning was a “sweet spot” … Continue reading Comic-Con@Home – Warner Archive’s  Secret Origin of Saturday Morning Cartoons – Notes!

Theory: A Princess in the Stepmother’s Märchen

More and more I’m starting to think that Shuli von Neuschwanstein (the pink haired lady above) is actually an abandoned princess. Here me out, okay? We see her mother and brother in color a few times over different chapters. In fact, in chapter 31 we see them all together, one after another: And they do look alike–we see pink hair, green eyes… but that’s kind of … Continue reading Theory: A Princess in the Stepmother’s Märchen
