By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting Last year, I reviewed and recommended Not Your Typical Reincarnation Story and I thought that my usual “Happy Hearts & Matching Outfits!” post this year would be a great follow-up. The series has become a favorite of mine in the last year and the clear attention to detail that the creators have put into the costuming makes it fitting … Continue reading [Analysis] Not Your Typical Reincarnation Story: Happy Hearts & Matching Outfits!

First, let me start with some context: I have a rule about not attending events when I’m sick, but since I was well enough to work and thought I was mostly over it … Continue reading [Review] Anime Town Greenville
By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting In 2016, I was asked to create a presentation introducing the idea of Cultural Studies and applying it to a piece of media in one of my classes. I thought it might be fun to revisit and update that presentation for you all here now that it’s been close to 10 years (wow) as an example of how more … Continue reading [Analysis Overview] Applying Analysis To Entertainment Media: Cultural Studies & Steven Universe
By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting Last November, I had a choice between two conventions: Kumoricon 2024 and Anime Expo Chibi 2024. As many of you know, I’m a regular attendee at Kumoricon and, more recently, a panelist there. It’s a convention I love—a truly rewarding experience thanks to a staff that tirelessly puts on the event each year and a place I plan to … Continue reading [Event Review] Anime Expo Chibi: Growing Pains
By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting If you’re still watching Detective Conan, chances are you’re a fan shipping Wataru Takagi and Miwako Satou together, two detectives of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department. Recently, Krow and I have been binging some older episodes of the show and when watching Episode 487, I became convinced that these two are engaged. Now, according to the internet, they aren’t … Continue reading [Chatting] Detective Conan: Takagi and Satou Are Engaged. A Case Closed, If You Ask Me
By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting Aniplex Online Fest has been a staple of my annual calendar ever since the pandemic brought it to life. This entirely online “convention” experience became something I have eagerly anticipated each year, and the announcement that a recording would be available for at least a week after airing this year’s stream on YouTube was a huge relief.

Good morning, afternoon, or evening (depending on when you’re reading this), everyone! It’s that time of year again—the time we come together to write a post outlining all our ambitious goals (only a few of which I think are actually achieved in the way we planned) before diving back into return to work preparations.
