Anime Expo 2023 – Industry Panels Master Post

By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting This year, I decided not to attend industry panels. Industry panels are typically reviews for release schedules of anime, manga, merchandise, and the like. While this can be fun to attend, it can also be a bit repetitive since most (if not all) of the titles being shared as new licenses (or titles that are set for release in … Continue reading Anime Expo 2023 – Industry Panels Master Post

[Book Review] “The Shonen Jump Guide to Making Manga” 

By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting Last October, I ordered a Kindle copy of The Shonen Jump Guide to Making Manga, a new book that delves into the art of creating manga. It was heavily advertised on MyAnimeList as well as promoted on Crunchyroll’s various Industry Panels, so I thought I’d give it a try.

It is something I’ve talked about several times on our blog and something I will undoubtedly continue to examine moving forward. However, rarely have I seen an address to the archetype … Continue reading [Analysis] The Return of the 8th Class Mage: What Makes A Mage (Spoilers)

I’d like to recommend this watch to anyone vaguely interested in the topic of representation and its role in media today.  It is a short watch, totaling about 12 minutes, and helps to define major … Continue reading [Recommended Watch] “How Queer Characters Have Evolved In Children’s Animation | Movies Insider”

[Commentary] The Fluidity of Water & Genderless Characters

By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting Water and fluidity are often used as metaphors when discussing some nonbinary or non-conforming gender identities because they are both characterized by their ability to take on different shapes and forms. Water can exist as a liquid, a gas, or a solid, and it can change its shape and form depending on its environment. Similarly, some people who identify … Continue reading [Commentary] The Fluidity of Water & Genderless Characters
