Source: Episode 12, Princess Tutu By: Beata Garrett | @clearsummers On the surface, Princess Tutu is a simple and formulaic story: Ahiru, a duck, is transformed one day by her love and desire to be with a prince named Mytho. To get closer to him, she becomes a ballet student at his school and transforms into Princess Tutu to retrieve shards of his heart. She … Continue reading Princess Tutu: Rewriting Your Narrative
By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting With almost 500k followers on YouTube, many of you reading this are likely already fans of, or followers of, Whyt Manga on YouTube.

My first encounter with WhytManga on YouTube was about six months ago. … Continue reading Recommended Watch: WhytManga
By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting A few years ago, I read the beginning volumes of Ascendance of a Bookworm. I thought it was okay, but there was nothing in particular that hooked me. The explanations felt like the kind of tutorials and information Iâd see in a Dr. Stone story, and the characters were as unrecognizable to me as almost any other reincarnation/isekai I … Continue reading Ascendance of a Bookworm: I Donât Understand Its Popularity
Title: JUJUTSU KAISEN 0 | OFFICIAL TRAILER 3

My first thought after leaving Jujutsu Kaisen 0 is that the price and trip to the movies to see it wasn’t worth it. In many ways, the movie is perfect if you know what youâre getting into and if you love the manga because the movie’s very faithful to it. Itâs arguable whether this makes it a good or bad adaptation, but the end product is nevertheless bland and pretty forgettable.
To prepare for the movie, I reread Jujutsu Kaisen 0 the manga, which was released before Jujutsu Kaisen (the manga). Jujutsu Kaisen 0 follows Yuta Okkotsu, a boy whoâs haunted by his childhood friend, Rika. Her cursed spirit captures the attention of jujutsu sorcerers, who sentence Yuta to be executed since they fear her being too powerful and uncontrollable (sounds pretty familiar). Yutaâs journey to break Rika’s curse sets him in the path of many dangerous characters, including Geto Suguru, an evil sorcerer intent on destroying humanity.

By: Peggy Sue Wood | @psweditingâ Itâs Womenâs History Month (March for those that donât know), and I have recently found myself in a lengthy discussion about women in animation and comics. Some of the discussion was industry based, and some was more geared towards depictions of women in comics, some favorites too, as well as prevalent resources we were looking at in regards to … Continue reading “Not Just a Princess:â Women in Animation (Recommended Watch)ïżŒ
By: Casea Smith | @coffeewithkrow I must confess, I donât believe in the three episode rule so many seem to follow amongst the anime community. I just donât think it always requires more than an episode or two in order to feel compelled to watch an entire series. However, in the case of watching ArtĂ©, even when I was committed to giving it a solid … Continue reading ArtĂ© (Review)
By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting Alright yâallâif I get sick because of attending this movie, I hope you all enjoy the post as appreciation. Last Friday I had an emergency appendectomy, this Friday I drove to see the premier of MHAâs 3rd movie, World Heroesâ Mission. Am I in some pain? Yes. Should I maybe not have gone for my compromised immune system? Also, … Continue reading My Hero Academia: World Heroes’ Mission
By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting Faith is an interesting topic to really dive into for a manga and anime. We often encounter Saint or Priestly characters in Isekais and other genres, and we also see the reinterpretation and depiction of folk tales or religious elements (such as Shinto practices, Yokai, even Jesus and Buddha). However, faith as a concept, is a topic rarely reviewed … Continue reading Faith in Saihate no Paladin –Â Analysis
