By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting I tend to dislike “it’s a coma” theories when I read them because the idea of everything being a dream or part of a coma is overused and clichéd. However, I can’t say that these types of theories don’t have merit. I mean, a cliché becomes one for a reason, right? And, for the first time (I think) in … Continue reading [Theory] Villains Are Destined to Die: I Think It’s a Coma (Spoilers)
By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting Many, many years ago someone asked me if I shipped Kaname and Yuuki from Vampire Knight and I answered with a hard no–I also didn’t ship the other main pairing, Yuuki and Zero, despite both of them being canonized in the series. My reasoning is simple–it’s because both pairings are incestuous to some degree. Kaname is Yuuki’s ancestor/brother while … Continue reading [Analysis] The Precious Sister of The Villainous Grand Duke: The Not Incest, Incest Romance
By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting I must admit that when Steven Universe (SU) was airing, I wasn’t a fan of the show. However, I did watch the series at random intervals due to my friend group being largely obsessed with it. As many friends moved on from the series, I continued to check back in because of my favorite character from the show, Pearl. … Continue reading [Analysis] Pearl Appreciation (Steven Universe)
By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting Note: Hello, Everyone! So, last summer I took a special course on anime and Japanese culture. During that course, I completed a project discussing Japan’s cultural background regarding spiritual beliefs (Shintoism, yokai, etc.) and how these beliefs and myths influence animation and other entertainment media in Japan. For part of the project, I discussed how the mythos lives on … Continue reading [Analysis] Natsume Yuujinchou: A Place for Yokai in the Modern World
By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting Reincarnation has been a popular premise in anime and manga (generally fiction as a whole) for some time, allowing characters to come back from death in a new form and allowing them/us to explore a different version of life in another world or the same one from a new perspective. That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime is … Continue reading [Movie Review & Spoilers] GOT TO LOVE SLIMES! “That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime the Movie: Scarlet Bond”
By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting I’ve been reading a lot of dungeon break comics lately, and I’m really enjoying the genre in manhwas. The art style, which emphasizes clean lines, lighting, and shadows, is reminiscent of Jang-Sung Rak’s work in Solo Leveling. The majority of these comics focus primarily on action, with romance taking a back seat, if it appears at all. However, I … Continue reading [Recommended Read / Manhwa Review] Dungeon Break With A Female Lead: I Stole the Number One Ranker’s Soul
By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting Winter 2023 Anime is upon us, and I’m stoked. Returning series that I was looking forward to have arrived, like the second seasons of BOFURI, By the Grace of the Gods, and The Misfit of Demon King Academy, along with new works like The Ice Guy and His Cool Female Colleague and Ningen Fushin to peak my interests. One … Continue reading [Recommended Watch / Anime Review] The Magical Revolution of the Reincarnated Princess and the Genius Young Lady Is A Must Watch Magical Girl Show This Season
By: Casea Smith | @coffeewithkrow On one fateful Christmas day, I got Harvest Moon: A Wonderful Life. This was not only the first farming simulator I ever played but also the first game I had ever played that allowed (or, in this case, required) you to marry someone. It was revolutionary to me as a child, and it opened my mind to a new way … Continue reading Muffy: Will You Give Her A Wonderful Life?
By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting Back in April, I wrote a post criticizing Ascendance of a Bookworm‘s main character, Myne, for liking bookmaking or the idea of reading rather than actual books. I stand by that statement still, as I feel like most of the series is still more about Myne and an isekai journey to being the greatest protagonist than it is about … Continue reading A Better Bookworm: Bibliophile Princess [Short Review/Recommendation]
