Comic Con 2020 Online – Recommended Watches & Why

Credit: Peggy Sue Wood | @peggyseditorial WHY NOT NOTES? Way back at the end of July, when Casea, Jenna, and I were reviewing panels and preparing notes, we quickly found that some panels were better watched then written out. While we can, and often do, attempt to pull out information from panels that we find most interesting or relevant to you all in the readership, … Continue reading Comic Con 2020 Online – Recommended Watches & Why

Akuyaku Reijo Nanode Rasubosu o Katte Mimashita: A Review

By: Peggy Sue Wood | @peggyseditorial​ In the ever-growing stock of isekai mangas featuring young women reborn in an otome game, what stands out to me about Akuyaku Reijo Nanode Rasubosu o Katte Mimashita is that Aileen/Irene (our main character) isn’t being given the full story of the game like her contemporaries. This is something her antagonist, and the game’s original protagonist, Lilia, seems to have gotten … Continue reading Akuyaku Reijo Nanode Rasubosu o Katte Mimashita: A Review

What It Takes to be a Villainess: A Review

By: Peggy Sue Wood | @peggyseditorial – Series suggested by: @stormyheart326​ Writer’s note: It’s been a LONG time since this series was suggested, and I’m sorry about that. However, it’s finally here! So, let’s jump in! – What is there to say about this series?  It’s kind of a model of its sub-genre for being reborn into the villainess role–an industry standard, so to speak, regarding … Continue reading What It Takes to be a Villainess: A Review

The Obelian Royal Family: The Heir

theanimeview: I was thinking about Chapter 7 of “Suddenly I Became a Princess One Day,” particularly this scene:   and it got me thinking about The Obelian Royal Family and heirs to the throne. By all indication (that I hear) of the novel, and in our telling thus far, Athanasia seems to have a secure spot as future Emperor (rather, Empress) of the empire. I’m not going to … Continue reading The Obelian Royal Family: The Heir

First Impressions: Kirakira Pretty Cure a la Mode

By: Casea Mhtar | @madamekrow As a fan of Mahou Shoujo, I’ve had my eye on the longstanding Pretty Cure series for quite a while. However, I couldn’t jump into this colorful franchise because it was only available on illegal streaming services. As a Neutral Good, that doesn’t sit well with me. My only other option would be Glitter Force on Netflix, for which I have heard many complaints … Continue reading First Impressions: Kirakira Pretty Cure a la Mode

(Analysis) Random Art Appreciation!

By: Peggy Sue Wood | @peggyseditorial​ I’m late– okay? I’m sorry. I hit some bad writer’s block this week when I found out the PhD program I’ve been preparing an application for all summer has decided to skip any accepting applicants until 2021. So after wallowing for a week I decided to write a random short post and aim for something longer next week. (Be … Continue reading (Analysis) Random Art Appreciation!

(Analysis) Master of Bending: Prince Zuko

By: Peggy Wood | @peggyseditorial​ I saw someone one TikTok mention this but I couldn’t remember well enough if it was true and started re-watching ATAR to check. Sure enough, it was true! While Aang is learning the four elements of bending, Zuko is too and it starts a lot earlier than when Iroh tells him about learning how to redirect lightening. As early. as … Continue reading (Analysis) Master of Bending: Prince Zuko

(THEORY) The Goddess Reborn: I Choose the Emperor Ending

By: Peggy Wood | @peggyseditorial You know that song, “[What If God Was] One Of Us” by Joan Osborne? I Choose the Emperor Ending reminds me a lot of that song, mainly because Marina, better known as Rino or the Technician in the story, is the world’s “goddess” without anyone knowing it. That, I think, is something we can all agree on. But, what if Marina’s chosen … Continue reading (THEORY) The Goddess Reborn: I Choose the Emperor Ending

Theory: Rurahel – A Guardian Spirit? (The Twin Siblings’ New Life)

By: Peggy Wood | @peggyseditorial​ So, I was re-reading the available chapters of The Twin Siblings’ New Life, and I think Rurahel might be a guardian spirit. I think she might have been the Emperor’s former spirit guardian. Hear me out, okay? Thus far, we’ve seen that the spirits are very attached to their persons. They do not have to be next to their persons–but they … Continue reading Theory: Rurahel – A Guardian Spirit? (The Twin Siblings’ New Life)

Theory: A Princess in the Stepmother’s Märchen

More and more I’m starting to think that Shuli von Neuschwanstein (the pink haired lady above) is actually an abandoned princess. Here me out, okay? We see her mother and brother in color a few times over different chapters. In fact, in chapter 31 we see them all together, one after another: And they do look alike–we see pink hair, green eyes… but that’s kind of … Continue reading Theory: A Princess in the Stepmother’s Märchen
