It appears to be an “older” Internet text, published I-don’t-know-when, that offers a deep dive into the cultural significance of Pokémon and explores different features of the game and … Continue reading [Recommended Read] Interesting Pokémon Read

[Recommended Read] “Utena – Shadow Plays” by Jay Scott

By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting Revolutionary Girl Utena is not your typical anime. It has several different iterations, all following a magical girl, Utena, as she encounters a complex, weaving tale of love, identity, and revolution, set within the enigmatic walls of Ohtori Academy, her new school. It’s a classic that broke new ground in storytelling by challenging societal norms when it released. It … Continue reading [Recommended Read] “Utena – Shadow Plays” by Jay Scott

[Review] Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door Remake

By: Krow Smith | @coffeewithkrow In my opinion, Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (2004) is a perfect game. It was something that changed my brain chemistry with its hilarious story, vibrant visuals, fun gameplay, and energetic music. It was the perfect package, something I didn’t think they could make any better. Well, not until they released the remake on 23 May 2024! Now, in 2025, … Continue reading [Review] Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door Remake

While homeschooling can help some … Continue reading [Review] Manga & Anime Workbook: Educational or Problematic?

By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting Recently, the Barnes & Noble in my new hometown in South Carolina faced a scare when their rental contract was about to expire. The situation caused a lot of commotion and led to a huge sale, which, of course, sent me into full-on “buy-all-the-books” mode. I ended up picking up over ten volumes of various series—some I had already … Continue reading [Review] She Likes Gays, But Not Me: Teenage Cringe + Honesty = A Good Read?
