[Recommended Read] Interesting Pokémon Read

By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting If you’re looking for a fascinating academic exploration of Pokémon, I highly recommend checking out “GOTTA CATCH ‘EM ALL: Capitalism, The War Machine, and the Pokémon Trainer” by Davin Heckman. 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

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

[Reflection] Anime & Manga: Artistry and Traditions Reflected

[Review] Manga & Anime Workbook: Educational or Problematic?

By: Krow Smith | @coffeewithkrow I was homeschooled from 7th Grade to 10th Grade (ages 12 to 15) and it was not a great experience. In fact, when I re-entered public school, I was held back a grade because I was so behind on credits. The experience shaped how I view homeschooling and I can be very passionate about it. While homeschooling can help some … Continue reading [Review] Manga & Anime Workbook: Educational or Problematic?

[Community/Chatting] Keeping Something For Yourself

By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting A short while ago I mentioned to you all that I had to withdraw from AX due to personal expenses. While I had every intention of being at Anime Expo two weekends ago for 4th of July months prior, that sadly didn’t pan out. So, with a heavy heart, I sent off a few hard emails, made peace with … Continue reading [Community/Chatting] Keeping Something For Yourself
