(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: Katherine Cañeba | @kcserinlee I freakin’ love KPop Demon Hunters (KDH) (my favorite Saja Boy is Baby Saja, not counting Jinu—whom pretty much everybody loves!) and many of you probably do, too! I watched KDH at least 30 times in as many days, watched something else, then came back to watch it another 10 times or so. The soundtrack was on repeat for weeks … Continue reading KPop Demon Hunters Fandom: Cultural Missteps and Growing Pains
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: Teaching—and writing—in 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 it’s truly becoming its own series. And honestly? It’s 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!)
By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting There’s something about October that makes me crave the comforts of childhood. In years past, I was so in want of comfort that I often skipped the fall altogether to start preparing for Christmas—so no pumpkins, candy, or anything else fall-inspired aside from the fashion. Now, I feel a little bold saying this online, especially since my friends feel … Continue reading Halloween Nostalgia: Scoobtober on YouTube
By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting The Fall 2025 anime season is upon us and here are the titles I’m most interested in so far: Ranma ½ (2024) – Season 2 The gender-bending martial arts comedy returns after a lively first season, and I couldn’t be more excited! The reboot captured the charm of the classic ’90s anime so well that I’m already totally in … Continue reading Anime To Look Forward To – Fall 2025

Hello, Everyone! After publishing my last post and thinking on things for a bit, I’ve decided to take a bit of time this month to regroup and focus on some behind-the-scenes work. So, I’ll be stepping back slightly in August to catch up on a few important projects—including editing a video from an interview I conducted in April (which really needs to go up soon!) … Continue reading Blog Updates – August
By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting A short while ago I mentioned to you all that I had to withdraw from AX due to personal expenses. While I had every intention of being at Anime Expo two weekends ago for 4th of July months prior, that sadly didn’t pan out. So, with a heavy heart, I sent off a few hard emails, made peace with … Continue reading [Community/Chatting] Keeping Something For Yourself
