By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting Lookā€“I know this is late but I had to stew on my thoughts, okay? Okay. Great, letā€™s go: Once more I find myself leaving a movie viewing sincerely disappointed.

Sing a Bit of Harmony (Review)

Source: Funimation https://www.funimationfilms.com/movie/sing-a-bit-of-harmony/ By: Beata Garrett | @clearsummers Sing a Bit of Harmony is a movie I couldnā€™t catch in theaters, which is unfortunate considering some of its stunning visuals. I also think I wouldā€™ve connected with the emotional moments more if I had seen them on the big screen. As it is, J.C. Staff and Yasuhiro Yoshiura have created an enjoyable if shallow movie. … Continue reading Sing a Bit of Harmony (Review)

Ascendance of a Bookworm: I Donā€™t Understand Its Popularity

By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting A few years ago, I read the beginning volumes of Ascendance of a Bookworm. I thought it was okay and there was nothing in particular that hooked me. The explanations felt like the kind of tutorials and information Iā€™d 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 Donā€™t Understand Its Popularity

Arcane Family Dynamics: Vander and Vi

By: Beata Garrett | @clearsummers Thereā€™s so many great things to say about Arcane, the Netflix show animated by Fortiche and based on characters from League of Legends, but my favorite analyses from fans of the show are about family. Arcaneā€™s first season begins and ends with the fracturing of family as two sisters, Vi and Powder (later known as Jinx), are torn apart, reunited, … Continue reading Arcane Family Dynamics: Vander and Vi

Paradise Kiss – Bad Romance Done Right

By: Beata Garrett | @clearsummers Oh boy, Ai Yazawa has done it again. Iā€™m always fascinated by how Yazawa depicts relationships and the incredibly messy emotional entanglements and issues her couples go through. I read the Paradise Kiss: 20th Anniversary Omnibus Edition, which Iā€™ve been meaning to do for a while, and it did not disappoint on this end. Of course, the messy couple at … Continue reading Paradise Kiss – Bad Romance Done Right

By: Beata GarrettĀ  |Ā @clearsummers Since Turning Red (2022) came out, thereā€™s been a multitude of backlash and criticism of the Pixar movie thatā€™s set my teeth on edge. Iā€™m not talking about the fair criticism of the characters and plot or the ā€œIt just wasnā€™t for me,ā€ but about comments concerning the ā€œrelatabilityā€ of the movie and concern over the lessons it teaches.

Dungeon Breaks Should Break the Economy, Right? (Analysis)

By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting This post is less of an analysis/review and more of a sincere question that I pose to anyone who is more knowledgeable on the subject of economics than myself. You see, Iā€™ve been reading a lot of dungeon break comics such as The S-Classes That I Raised and Solo Leveling. While it is apparent that these hunters are making a lot of money, … Continue reading Dungeon Breaks Should Break the Economy, Right? (Analysis)

Return of the Blossoming Blade (Recommended Read)

By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting ā€‹ This is already a pretty well known Webtoon series, but I havenā€™t seen any long-form reviews about it or analyses yet, so here I am, filling the potential void. Perhaps itā€™s a bit timely to do so now too, as tomorrow marks the Spring Equinox, meaning thatā€“this weekā€“countries are holding their annual flower festivities and celebrating. There is the … Continue reading Return of the Blossoming Blade (Recommended Read)
