[Analysis] Not Your Typical Reincarnation Story: Happy Hearts & Matching Outfits! (#4)

By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting Last year, I reviewed and recommended Not Your Typical Reincarnation Story and I thought that my usual “Happy Hearts & Matching Outfits!” post this year would be a great follow-up. The series has become a favorite of mine in the last year and the clear attention to detail that the creators have put into the costuming makes it fitting … Continue reading [Analysis] Not Your Typical Reincarnation Story: Happy Hearts & Matching Outfits!

[Review] Anime Town Greenville

This review is a bit of a mixed bag because I spent the weekend (31 Jan.–2 Feb. 2025) wavering between feeling sick and being mostly okay, which definitely influenced my overall experience. First, let me start with some context: I have a rule about not attending events when I’m sick, but since I was well enough to work and thought I was mostly over it … Continue reading [Review] Anime Town Greenville

[Analysis] The Art in Shadow of the Colossus: Original vs. Remake

By: Krow Smith | @coffeewithkrow Shadow of the Colossus was released on the PlayStation 2 in 2005 and it’s surprising how much Team Ico (the developers) fit into the game. For example, the map is huge, yet there are no loading screens. You can run from one end of the map to the other without any pauses. However, it did come at the cost of … Continue reading [Analysis] The Art in Shadow of the Colossus: Original vs. Remake

[Recommended Read] CLAMP’s “Wish”

By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting Last July, I posted about CLAMP’s xxxHolic movie, A Midsummer Night’s Dream, and since then I’ve been revisiting some of my favorites from the CLAMP team. The stories crafted by the CLAMP team share in an extraordinary ability to immerse readers in their fantastical worlds.

[Event Review] Yama-Con 2024: Attendee Experience & Panelist Experience

By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting TL/DR: Overall, Yama-Con is a solid convention. It’s a small to mid-tier convention in terms of size and scale for the South and well managed given the size of the location. Outside the convention there is also lots to do. Maybe not worth the travel if you dislike mountain driving though… Last weekend, I attended Yama-Con in Pigeon Forge, … Continue reading [Event Review] Yama-Con 2024: Attendee Experience & Panelist Experience
