[Recommended Read] Anime Hanabi’s “The Easiest Asian Language!”

By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting As some of you may know, I’ve been on a (mostly quiet) journey to learn more about East Asian cultures and languages. I’m still building confidence when it comes to speaking, but I’d say I have a decent handle on reading and writing low-level Japanese and, lately, I’ve also been casually exploring Chinese and Korean.

By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting Last week a lot happened that reenergized me and my passion for weird, animated, and wonderfully chaotic shows.

[Movie Review] Dan Da Dan: Evil Eye (2025) is A GIANT RED FLAG (SPOILERS)

By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting Let’s just get this out of the way: I didn’t walk into Dan Da Dan: Evil Eye expecting a good story. I watched the anime, after all, and I already knew what kind of chaotic energy and uncomfortable sexualizing of minors that this franchise brings to the table. Beyond aliens, ghosts, telekinesis, and the prior mentioned assaulting of underage … Continue reading [Movie Review] Dan Da Dan: Evil Eye (2025) is A GIANT RED FLAG (SPOILERS)
