[Notes] About Mechademia (Belated notes from a Keynote by Frenchy Lunning at an Anime Expo long ago...)

At an Anime Expo some time ago, there was a keynote and subsequent panel from Mechademia presented by Frenchy Lunning, founder of Mechademia and longtime scholar of anime and manga studies. Here are some (belated) notes from that session discussing Mechademia. What is Mechademia? The answer: a conference, a journal, and academic community that is ever expanding! Mechademia began as an effort…

[Notes] Want to be an Anime Journalist? (Belated notes from an Anime Expo Industry Panel)

A few years ago at Anime Expo, I attended a panel on breaking into anime journalism featuring editors and publishers from some of the biggest names in anime media. Honestly, I thought we had posted it but I can’t find copies so… I guess the notes somehow disappeared into my drafts folder and stayed there until now—so apologies for the delay to everyone! I’ll be posting a few more in the coming…

[Event Review] Anime Town Greenville 2026: Moving In The Right Direction At The Wrong Time

Source: https://www.animetowngreenville.com/ By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting In January I attended Anime Town Greenville for the third year in a row and I believe that this was also their third year hosting in the Greenville Convention Center. I can honestly say that there was a lot of improvement between this year’s convention and the two prior. However, unfortunately, circumstances outside…

[Review] That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime the Movie: Tears of the Azure Sea (SPOILERS!)

Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_B8SWP82mmo By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting Last week, I went to see That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime the Movie: Tears of the Azure Sea (2026) in theaters, and I ended up watching it twice (once dubbed and once subtitled). While I really enjoyed the movie, I think that if you’re on the fence about going to watch it, I’d honestly recommend waiting…

This used to be one of my favorite shows and is…

[Commentary] TEEN TITANS & TEEN TITANS GO: Two Examples of Japanese Animation Influences

Source: https://www.amazon.com/Teen-Titans-G0-DVD/dp/B07TSJWS31 By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting I was having a conversation a while ago with a friend of mine about Teen Titans, a show we both grew up having watched and loved. The conversation drifted to other animated superhero movies and shows, but somehow came to Teen Titans and Teen Titans Go! where she mentioned that she wished they had…

Henshin Dekinai: The Doomed Queen is Doomed No More

Henshin Dekinai (No Secrets) Cover Image By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting Years ago, I was introduced to the concept of a “doomed queen” in my LGBT+ Literature class. It came in the form of Andrew Holleran’s fictional novel, Dancer From The Dance, which, if you don’t know, is sort of like an updated version of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby set in New York City and Fire Island. Both…

Not in the sense I stopped using it entirely, but more like I just stopped logging in frequently and stopped using it to save my watchlists. I made this change because I wanted something more……

Hello, everyone! At the time of writing this post, I’m excited to share that I have completed my design of ENG 225: Graphic Literature, and it is currently under review with my supervisor.

What to Watch: Spring 2026

By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting This upcoming season is ramping up to be one of the most stacked I’ve seen in years. Sure, the list of new and returning titles always feels long—but usually, I can narrow things down to about ten “must-watch” shows without too much trouble. This time I wasn’t even close to that. As I started pulling titles, I saw so many major sequels of shows I love (like…

We ended up taking an unexpected hiatus—because of me—mainly because I didn’t have anything prepared for the first time in a long while, didn’t have time to edit other submissions to fill the gap, and was juggling midterms for almost all but two of the eight…

[Rant] Revisiting Mattel’s MyScene Webisodes: #MeanGirls

Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-yEEegHcS5E 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…
