Good or Bad? An Adaptation Review and Analysis of “Suppose a Kid from the Last Dungeon Boonies Moved to a Starter Town” Episode 1 (SPOILERS)

By: Peggy Sue Wood | @peggyseditorial​ Whenever I think about adaptations, I always try to remember that the anime and manga are different works. I try to enjoy them as you might enjoy two different books with similar premises, but that doesn’t mean I don’t compare them, and this series is pretty hard not to compare to its comic-counterpart. Suppose a Kid from the Last … Continue reading Good or Bad? An Adaptation Review and Analysis of “Suppose a Kid from the Last Dungeon Boonies Moved to a Starter Town” Episode 1 (SPOILERS)

Everyone Should Watch the Terrible Wonder that is Hero Return

By: Peggy Sue Wood | @peggyseditorial I think I might love this anime more than anything else that’s come out this season so far—yes, even more than the Inuyasha sequel, Yashahime or Noblesse, the long awaited adaptation to a webcomic I obsessed over when it was still being published.  How can I say that I love it when, in the title of this very post, I called … Continue reading Everyone Should Watch the Terrible Wonder that is Hero Return

By: Peggy Sue Wood | @peggyseditorial​ OKAY… It’s Halloween, the spookiest day of the year, so I decided to write about one of my current favorite manhwa series that features witches while also remaining not-scary. This is also a series I highly recommend and if Halloween is my vessel to serve you this manhwa, then so be it!
