[Recommended Read] Anime Hanabi’s “The Easiest Asian Language!”

By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting As some of you may know, I’ve been on a (mostly quiet) journey to learn more about East Asian cultures and languages. I’m still building confidence when it comes to speaking, but I’d say I have a decent handle on reading and writing low-level Japanese and, lately, I’ve also been casually exploring Chinese and Korean. So when Anime Hanabi—a fellow … Continue reading [Recommended Read] Anime Hanabi’s “The Easiest Asian Language!”

[Review/Recommendation] The Amazing Digital Circus

By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting Last week a lot happened that reenergized me and my passion for weird, animated, and wonderfully chaotic shows. One of the biggest highlights is that, after nearly six months, GLITCH finally dropped Episode 5 of The Amazing Digital Circus. Now, if you haven’t seen this series before, I definitely think you should check it out. Similar to shows like Vivziepop’s … Continue reading [Review/Recommendation] The Amazing Digital Circus

A Must Watch: KPop Demon Hunters 

By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting KPop Demon Hunters is now streaming on Netflix, and I have to say—this is quickly becoming a must-watch. Even if the plot doesn’t fully grab you, the pop music alone makes it worth your time. The film released on Friday, June 20, 2025, and if your YouTube feed is anything like mine (especially if you follow a lot of animation … Continue reading A Must Watch: KPop Demon Hunters

A PREVIEW FOR THIS WEEK…

Anime Expo kicks off this coming weekend, and honestly? It feels nearly impossible to narrow down on what to focus on and when. So much has happened this past week in the world of anime, manga, and fandom that I’ve been completely overwhelmed trying to figure out what to cover—and how to adjust the blog post schedule to include it all in a timely, organized … Continue reading A PREVIEW FOR THIS WEEK…

[Movie Review] How To Train Your Dragon – Live Action (2025): I’m Surprised

By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting I’m not sure what I was expecting here, but I’m sure it was not positive when first entering the theater. I’ve seen enough live action remakes to know that the story being a remake is really the key issue for me. A new version, if it were called that, would be much better received in my opinion. Something that’s … Continue reading [Movie Review] How To Train Your Dragon – Live Action (2025): I’m Surprised

[Review] My Gemini: Lost Identity in Grief and Immaturity

By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting My Gemini by Yuu Morikawa (same author of Mr. Villain’s Day Off) is inspired by the Victorian-era story of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. John Utterson, similar to the novel from what I understand of a YouTube summary I watched prior to writing this, is the narrating character and close friends with twins Jekyll and Hyde. In this one-volume … Continue reading [Review] My Gemini: Lost Identity in Grief and Immaturity

[Movie Review] Dan Da Dan: Evil Eye (2025) is A GIANT RED FLAG (SPOILERS)

By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting Let’s just get this out of the way: I didn’t walk into Dan Da Dan: Evil Eye expecting a good story. I watched the anime, after all, and I already knew what kind of chaotic energy and uncomfortable sexualizing of minors that this franchise brings to the table. Beyond aliens, ghosts, telekinesis, and the prior mentioned assaulting of underage … Continue reading [Movie Review] Dan Da Dan: Evil Eye (2025) is A GIANT RED FLAG (SPOILERS)
