After a little over two months away, it feels pretty good to be back! The first returning post that went up this last Saturday was a new notes post. Youâll probably see a few more posts like that in the near future as we’re taking our time getting back into the rhythm of things and getting back to writing. Speaking personally as the editor, I … Continue reading We’re Back!
Hello, everyone! We wanted to share a quick update regarding our current hiatus. Originally, we hoped to return at the end of July. While the entire team made progress on rest and recovery towards the end of July, we ultimately found ourselves last week needing a little more time. Because of that, we’ve decided to extend our hiatus through part of, or all of, August. … Continue reading Hiatus Update: Extending Through Part of (or all of) August

By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting I was having a conversation a while ago with a friend of mine about Teen Titans, a show we both grew up having watched and loved. The conversation drifted to other animated superhero movies and shows, but somehow came to Teen Titans and Teen Titans Go! where she mentioned that she wished they had stuck to the original’s anime-inspired … Continue reading [Commentary] TEEN TITANS & TEEN TITANS GO: Two Examples of Japanese Animation Influences

By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting I was looking for something nostalgic to watch on YouTube when I came across a compilation of all the MyScene webisodes from 2000 to 2006. In my memory, MyScene was a goofy-looking web series about a group of fashionable late-teen girls (an Alternate Universe version of Barbie, Madison, Chelsea, Nolee, and Delancey) living it up in the Big Apple (New York City). Like many other … Continue reading [Rant] Revisiting Mattelâs MyScene Webisodes: #MeanGirls
By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting Sousou no Frieren 2nd Season / Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End Season 2 Frieren: Beyond Journeyâs End is returning for a second season, and I couldnât be more excited. The first season was a beautifully slow-paced series and, in recent seasons, the only show Iâve found comparable is Mizu Zokusei no Mahoutsukai / The Water Magician from last summer, which … Continue reading Winter 2026 Watch List
(Belated) Happy Thanksgiving, Everyone! I hope you all had a cozy, food-filled holiday (and maybe got yourself something fun in the Black Friday sales)! I know this post is a couple days late, but between my full-time job, part-time job, and a whirlwind East-to-West Coast trip (literally one day to get there, one day there, one day to get back), things got hectic fast this … Continue reading (Belated) Happy Thanksgiving!
By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting Hi, everyone! This week’s post is a little different. It’s more about research and media literacy than anything else. Here is my sort of joking conspiracy theory about the Internet right now: Teachingâand writingâin 2025 feels a little unreal. AI is everywhere, search engines summarize before they share what you are looking for, and every time I go online … Continue reading My Elusive Tiger: A (semi-joking) Conspiracy Theory! [Rant]
By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting As of Episode 5, I feel like Who Made Me a Princess has been making enough distinguishable differences that itâs truly becoming its own series. And honestly? Itâs better than I initially thought or gave it credit for in my initial review. The first three episodes left me underwhelmed, especially as a longtime fan of the webtoon. However, with … Continue reading Follow-Up: Who Made Me a Princess (Episodes 1-5 Impressions + Spoilers!)
