By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting This year, I’ve been on the lookout for matching outfits that bring out the best (and most vibrant) colors from some of my favorite series. I really think that the attention to matching character outfits can be stunning and meaningful as it adds so much heart and harmony to the work. Here’s a rainbow of my top picks for … Continue reading Happy Hearts and Matching Outfits #5: The Rainbow
By: Katherine Cañeba | @kcserinlee It’s a New Year, and it’s the perfect time to start a new manga! I would love to introduce you all to my newest favorite manga series: Girl Crush by Midori Tayama. It is a fresh coming-of-age story about female K-pop idol trainees supporting (and competing with) each other on their way to the top. In addition to the beautiful … Continue reading [Recommendation] Girl Crush: Connecting With Others Through Manga
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 Mattel’s MyScene Webisodes: #MeanGirls
By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting I think most of you know by now that I’m very much a comics fan. I love discussing them, learning about them, and sharing them. Recently, I’ve also been hoping to teach comics formally in a class, and as part of the proposal process, I’ve started designing the course to create a proof of concept. When I began planning … Continue reading Designing an Accessible, No-Cost Class for Comics: What I’m Learning
By: Rachael Kahn | @TAVMedia Currently exhibiting at the de Young Museum in Golden Gate Park, San Francisco, is a large manga exhibit in the United States that started its run on 27 September 2025, and will finish this 25 January 2026.

The exhibit both displays … Continue reading [Event Review] Art of Manga Exhibit at the de Young Museum in San Francisco
By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting TL;DR: Overall, PokeKon Charleston felt less like a full convention and more like a small meetup. It may be enjoyable for locals, families, or collectors looking to buy cards, but it isn’t something I’d recommend planning an entire day or trip around. My Review: Last weekend, Krow and I attended PokeKon in Charleston, SC, and while I went in with … Continue reading [Event Review] PokeKon Fest – Charleston, SC 2025
By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting Sousou no Frieren 2nd Season / Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End Season 2 Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End is returning for a second season, and I couldn’t be more excited. The first season was a beautifully slow-paced series and, in recent seasons, the only show I’ve found comparable is Mizu Zokusei no Mahoutsukai / The Water Magician from last summer, which … Continue reading Winter 2026 Watch List
Written by: Katherine Cañeba | @kcserinlee I had been hoping to publish this post soon after having seen the movie, but life happened. So here I am, almost two years behind schedule. Still, better late than never! After the seemingly endless wait (for me, at least) from the Christmas 2023 release of the movie Spy x Family CODE: White in Japan to its North American … Continue reading [Review] Spy x Family CODE: White (Anime & Movie Spoilers!)
By: Krow Smith | @coffeewithkrow As someone who didn’t go to cons, I am certainly making up for it now. With Yama-Con being my third full convention experience in this year alone, I’m gathering quite a familiarity with them. While Yama-Con was well reviewed by Peggy (@pswediting) last year, I feel it’s time for an update on how it was for 2025. Instead of a … Continue reading [Event Review] Yama-Con 2025
By: Anonymous If you’re an anime fan in the late 2025 era, you’ve probably been asking yourself some version of this question:Is anime becoming inaccessible on purpose… or are we just living in some kind of early streaming dystopia? Anime has hit mainstream. Thanks to streaming giants, global fandom, and TikTok/YouTube virality—animation is no longer just a weird little niche for nerds in the West. … Continue reading Animation Made Weird: What the F*** is Happening in Anime Streaming Right Now?
