Animation Made Weird – Male Pregnancy

(Screenshot/Netflix, “Trollhunters: Rise of the Titans” from the Tales of Arcadia) By: Anonymous | @bottledwriterwriting​ I’ve been told I can rant, so here I go.  I have been watching western animation for a long time, and for some reason, in long-lasting shows, you get an episode of Male Pregnancy. MPreg, as fanfiction writers have dubbed it, is not a new thing. Doing it well, however, is … Continue reading Animation Made Weird – Male Pregnancy

The Importance of Names in Natsume Yuujinchou – Analysis

By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting If you know me at all, you’ll know that Natsume Yuujinchou is probably my all time favorite anime/manga. It is to me as Yu Yu Hakusho is to Krow, @coffeewithkrow (if you know, you know).  And one of the things that always has stood out to me about Natsume is the importance of names within the story. It’s not expressly … Continue reading The Importance of Names in Natsume Yuujinchou – Analysis

Theory: Now Entering the Demon King, Iruma!

silvershoelaces: theanimeview: By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting If you’ve ever studied Japanese you know that some things get dropped based on the context. For example, in English we pretty much always say, “my name is ___” or â€œI am ___.” However, in Japanese you can basically just respond â€œ___desu” (desu acting like a verb â€œ.”) and be fine. Outside of a context, you would probably state the â€œI … Continue reading Theory: Now Entering the Demon King, Iruma!

Yashahime: Princess Half-Demon “It’s not a good sequel, it’s a nostalgia sale.”

By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting​ I know we’ve titled this with a controversial statement, but please wait and hold your judgment for the end. Here at The Anime View, during this long hiatus that has recently been brought to a close by my impatience (while we film and re-film everything a few hundred times for Jenna) we’ve been holding debates. One that we had … Continue reading Yashahime: Princess Half-Demon “It’s not a good sequel, it’s a nostalgia sale.”

My Nitpick Issue with Sherlock in Moriarty the Patriot

By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting​ It may surprise some of you to know that I have degrees in book reading and writing. While earning those degrees I studied one specific time period more than the others–that being British Literature from late-17th/18th century through the early 20th century. This is to say that it is a time period I know a little more about than … Continue reading My Nitpick Issue with Sherlock in Moriarty the Patriot

Cultivation Confusion? I have some links for that…

By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting I can’t be the only one confused by cultivation comics, right? Right?  I’ve probably added over 20 martial world type comics to my current reading list and, every time, I am faced with a new list of cultivation levels that literally make no sense.  Almost every series i read in these types of worlds have similar levels and correlating … Continue reading Cultivation Confusion?

Brother, Brother! – Review: BLOOD OF ZEUS

By: Jenna Morgan | @jkmorgan-media I ended up loving this show, even though it honestly took a few episodes to really get me. Hera was my favorite character almost all the way to the end. I mean, who doesn’t like a powerful woman, right?  Seriously: DON’T MESS WITH A POWERFUL WOMAN WHO’S BEEN SCORN FOR DECADES BY HER HUSBAND! Not even by accident or indirectly. … Continue reading Brother, Brother! – Review: BLOOD OF ZEUS
