Okay, holy smokes. I just read chapter 47 and how shocking! Claude is suddenly acting all cold like he was in the book, and I wonder if itâs because he lost a good amount of magic or because of some curse that has been hinted to earlier. It might be a while before we find out completely, but–in the meantime–letâs look at the imagery of … Continue reading Chapter 47
By: Peggy Sue Wood |Â @peggyseditorial I unexpectedly became ill at the end of Day 2, so I missed the last half of the convention, but while I was still there I had a blast! The lines this year were as long as the last time I went, but this time there wasn’t as much of a claustrophobia-inducing-feeling from being crowded into a tight space during … Continue reading Anime Expo 2019 Review
I talked about this before, but I think it is worth repeating as the gold and yellow have remained a consistent aspect of storytelling within the series. Previously, I stated that the dull yellow we see attached to Athy in earlier chapters seems to represent caution, decay, sickness, jealousy, instability and fear while the gold, sparkling yellow seen throughout the work, signifies success, wealth, and cheerful feelings. … Continue reading Revisited: Gold, Art, and Storytelling
Netflix just dropped the Season 2 trailer for Aggretsuko and if you havenât seen Season 1, itâs time to start watching. Season 1 hit home with an inside look into the new adult lifestyle. Audiences watched as Retsuko, a 25-year-old, anthropomorphic, red panda progressed through the daily trials and tribulations of a post-school working adult life, and it was real. In a Hello Kitty-esque art … Continue reading Aggretsuko: An ASAP Must See
I was reminded of what happens in the Doma the Dark Organization Arc based on the interactions Yugi has with his friends.  I love that particular arc because of how some of the characters react when Yugi’s soul is gone. Like, until then they only sort-of believed that Yami was another person with a different soul, but also not really, more like they thought he was a … Continue reading I rewatched a few Yu-Gi-Oh episodes recently and…
100% honesty here, the third movie killed my motivation to finish this. However, I had already begun to write it out and I hate to let the work waste away in my drafts⌠So, Iâm going to leave what I wrote and give a semi-ending to this. I hope you enjoy. Part 1 | Part 2 Summarizing part 2, when given freedom, Hiccup is shown … Continue reading The Rise of a King, Hiccup – Part 3
Iâve been rereading the webcomic in preparation for new chapters coming soon (I hope) and I have begun to wonder about how Claude viewâs Athanasia in relation to her bloodline. Let me explain:Â Â Athanasiaâs grandfather was âa tyrant obsessed with richesâ while Claude is more attuned to leisure and pleasure than his predecessor. Athanasia, as we know, is obsessed with gold (for her run-away fund), … Continue reading The Obelian Royal Family: Claude and Athanasia
My best friend from college recently came over, and we had a short discussion of the dub vs. sub controversy that I havenât had since… well, high school probably. Nice to know somethings donât change in the anime community, right? That aside, Iâm always shocked to hear, even from my niece, how some people think that dub is inferior to subtitles and, to me, that … Continue reading Dub vs. Sub: Donât be a snob.
When I was interning a handful of summers ago, I remember talking with a handful of editors and peers about our favorite comic to television adaptations. I said honestly that I am not a fan of Teen Titans Go because I donât think it has a lot of substance when compared to Teen Titans or Young Justice. Itâs a problem I have with a lot … Continue reading Reboots: Theyâre for who?
I was thinking about Chapter 7 of “Suddenly I Became a Princess One Day,â particularly this scene:  and it got me thinking about The Obelian Royal Family and heirs to the throne. By all indication (that I hear) of the novel, and in our telling thus far, Athanasia seems to have a secure spot as future Emperor (rather, Empress) of the empire. Iâm not going to question … Continue reading The Obelian Royal Family: The Heir
