Recommended Reads for Using Comics In The Classroom

By: Peggy Sue Wood | @peggyseditorial​ / @pswediting I’ve been thinking a lot about comics in education lately. Partially because, as I’m writing this in March to prepare for my April/May hiatus, I’ve been preparing to present on the subject in a classroom and at a convention, but also because we’ve done several recommended watches on the subject here at The Anime View.  I’m really … Continue reading Recommended Reads for Using Comics In The Classroom

Turning Red – Honor Your Ancestors, Respect Your Child (Review/Analysis)

Vox has … Continue reading Turning Red – Honor Your Ancestors, Respect Your Child (Review/Analysis)

Return of the Blossoming Blade (Recommended Read)

By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting ​ This is already a pretty well known Webtoon series, but I haven’t seen any long-form reviews about it or analyses yet, so here I am, filling the potential void. Perhaps it’s a bit timely to do so now too, as tomorrow marks the Spring Equinox, meaning that–this week–countries are holding their annual flower festivities and celebrating. There is the … Continue reading Return of the Blossoming Blade (Recommended Read)

Sinister Transformations and Duality in Kasane, Vol. 1 (Review/Analysis)

​​By: Beata Garrett | @clearsummers I first read Kasane by Daruma Matsuura a year ago, and I loved it even as I was torn on how to feel about its depiction of beauty standards and gender norms. Matsuura’s work is a fascinating study on the blurred lines between acting and living, as the plays performed on stage hold up a mirror to Kasane’s own life … Continue reading Sinister Transformations and Duality in Kasane, Vol. 1 (Review/Analysis)

For Better or For Worse: A Revival of Jane Austen’s Concept of Good Marriages (Analysis/Review)

By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting​ I may not show it often, but I’m actually a huge sucker for a good romance. Personally, I enjoy Jane Austen’s approach to good marriages and finding love in the novel of Pride and Prejudice, which I find to be rarely emulated in romance fiction today (the movie’s depiction, of course, is very different). Austen typically wrote about the places … Continue reading For Better or For Worse: A Revival of Jane Austen’s Concept of Good Marriages (Analysis/Review)

By: Beata Garrett  | @clearsummers I’ve spent a few good months starting and stopping Tokyo Revengers, and recently decided to give it another go. I wanted to give it a fair shot but I refuse to continue watching after Episode 15. I don’t know whether it gets better or worse from there, but it doesn’t matter because I’ve seen enough. Tokyo Revengers is one of the worst … Continue reading Tokyo Revengers is the Worst Shounen I’ve Ever Seen
