PPPPPP – Why I Keep Reading a Music Manga That I Canât Fully Recommend (Review/Analysis)
By: Beata Garrett | @zhongxia246ââ PPPPPP is a manga about a family of geniuses with piano superpowers, and itâs everything I expected something with that premise to be, yet underwhelming in ways that Iâll do my best to describe. I feel like itâs the kind of work youâd read if you want to read a mashup of The Umbrella Academy and Scott Pilgrim vs. the … Continue reading PPPPPP – Why I Keep Reading a Music Manga That I Canât Fully Recommend (Review/Analysis)
Other Forms of Adaptation – âThe Boatâ by Nam Le (Recommend Watch/Read)
By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting LINK: http://www.sbs.com.au/theboat/ In one of the classes Iâve taken for part of my animation certification program, we were asked to look at different forms of adapting stories to visual mediums. Comics are an obvious example, as are games and movies. The point is, there are several ways to adapt to a graphic medium. One thing I like about Webtoons, … Continue reading Other Forms of Adaptation – âThe Boatâ by Nam Le (Recommend Watch/Read)
The House – Parasitic Horror in Three Parts (Review)
By: Beata Garrett | @zhongxia246â Haunted houses are a staple in horror, and have a rich history of terrifying us as places that blur the boundaries between the living and the dead, hell and heaven, and reality and delusion.

âCrunchylistâ?!?!
By: Krow Smith | @coffeewithkrowâ There I was, casually perusing Crunchyroll looking for anime to watch (as one does). Merrily, I read descriptions, judged cover art, and made my assessments. When I was suddenly struck with waves of confusion as I was distracted since I couldnât find the âAdd To Watchlistâ button. âWhat was so distracting?â You conveniently ask. Well! It was an option I … Continue reading âCrunchylistâ?!?!
Why ODDTAXIâs Episode 4 is a Masterpiece (Analysis)
By: Beata Garrett | @zhongxia246â When ODDTAXI began airing in April last year, Iâll admit that I wrote it off as a copy of Aggretsuko. If I wanted to watch anthropomorphic animals in a realistic setting, I would just watch that or Beastars, butâby some happenstanceâI began watching it one day despite all the other anime on my list that seemed to have a more … Continue reading Why ODDTAXIâs Episode 4 is a Masterpiece (Analysis)

Belle – Please Erase the Last Half of This Movie From My Mind (Review)
By: Beata Garrett | @zhongxia246â Belle won me over for the first hour with its gorgeous visuals, nuanced take on the power of the internet, and soundtrack. At least, that was until I saw the turn it was taking in the latter half and thought, Please no, donât do this. Itâs hard to reconcile my overwhelmingly positive feelings for the first half with the dismay I … Continue reading Belle – Please Erase the Last Half of This Movie From My Mind (Review)
