My best friend from college recently came over, and we had a short discussion of the dub vs. sub controversy that I havenāt had since… well, high school probably. Nice to know somethings donāt change in the anime community, right? That aside, Iām always shocked to hear, even from my niece, how some people think that dub is inferior to subtitles and, to me, that … Continue reading Dub vs. Sub: Donāt be a snob.
When I was interning a handful of summers ago, I remember talking with a handful of editors and peers about our favorite comic to television adaptations. I said honestly that I am not a fan of Teen Titans Go because I donāt think it has a lot of substance when compared to Teen Titans or Young Justice. Itās a problem I have with a lot … Continue reading Reboots: Theyāre for who?
By: Peggy Sue Wood | @peggyseditorialā Iām going to be honest and tell you all that I was disappointed with this final installment of the HTTYD Animated Universe.Ā SPOILER WARNING.Ā Starting with just the basics, did anyone notice how Valka went from brunet to a red-head? Or how Stoick went from having red hair to brown in this movie? Because I did and thatās weird. … Continue reading HTTYD3 Review: Iām Disappointed (SPOILER WARNING)
When Stoick leaves, and Hiccup is just beginning to experience his freedom, Hiccup experience his first confrontation with an expectation of responsibility. Where does it come from? Who? You might askā¦ is it Gobber? No. Is it Toothless? Not really. Toothless doesnāt expect Hiccup to come back for him or anything else after heās freed. So who? Itās Astrid. Let me explain. As Hiccup and … Continue reading The Rise of a King, Hiccup – Part 2
This is a long analysis so Iām going to break this into a bunch of parts. I donāt know how many yet, but Iāll put links to each part at the top and bottom each part as they come out. I hope you enjoy:Ā Part 2 | Part 3 Before Hiccup becomes chief a lot of things happen and I think that what stands out to … Continue reading The Rise of a King, Hiccup – Part 1
āYou have the heart of a chief…and the soul of a dragon.“ – Valka When Iām not working or sleeping–Iām rewatching all the HTTYD movies/shows in preparation for the new movie and I think I noticed something about Hiccup thatās different from the other dragon riders.Ā Certainly, weāve all noticed thatĀ āhe (Hiccup) has a way with the beasts,ā but his way with them isnāt like … Continue reading Soul of a Dragon?
So, I know that in the “Lovely Princess” novel that Athy read in her past life, Princess Athanasia was the elder sister (actually cousin) of Jannette, but the timeline for the current story doesn’t seem to match. Going by how the manhwa has framed the two princesses’ origins, Penelope left the mansion pregnant before Claude met/started-a-relationship with Diana, right? And based on how close the … Continue reading Could Jannette be older than Athanasia?
By: Peggy Sue Wood | @peggyseditorial I think it might be good to recognize that the story itself and the novel Athanasia read in her past life are different. Yeah, they have a lot of similarities, but a common thing in these reborn stories is the character’s reliance on everything being by the book, even when they influence major factors or new information that wasnāt … Continue reading THEORY: Grooming for the Throne
I love this manhwa for many reasons, but in particular, I want to talk about the beauty of framing Athanasiaās character because I think framing is something that is done really well in this manhwa and is often underappreciated by readers. A brief summary of the premise: The storyās protagonist is Princess Athanasia De Alger Obelia, seen left in the image above. She is a … Continue reading [Analysis] Gold, Art, and Storytelling
By Peggy Sue Wood |Ā @pswediting Top of the controversial titles to like this season in anime, according to most everyone I knowās list, is The Rising of the Shield Hero. Why? Well, as you may have heard, it starts off with a false rape allegation against the protagonist and that is enough to have it burned from most watch lists as a potentially good anime or manga … Continue reading [Analysis] Controversial Opinion: The Rising of The Shield Hero, I donāt hate it + Why
