I’m just an average run-of-the-mill human being. Nothing too interesting about me. All I can say is I live and breathe like anybody else. The only difference? I write about it.

In the Name of the Moon….

As a child, I became a huge fan of Sailor Moon. I loved the manga, anime, and world Naoko Takeuchi had crafted. She made a comic book world specifically for young girls. A place of empowerment for those also afraid to stand out or grappling with their identity, etc.

Her Tokyo was one of superpowered young girls where friendship reigned as much as love did. I am still a die-hard “moonie” fan today; I even created moodboards on Tumblr in honor of her characters. In appreciation of Naoko, I have decided to share them. Enjoy!

Whisper of the Heart Live Action Sequel?!

Me, myself, and my excitement. It’s exploding right out of me.

Yes, you read that right. Studio Ghibli has released a live action trailer already for this film. (And, yes, it looks adorable.)

Anyone else screaming like a little child or is that just me?

For more information on this outstanding development, check out this article by CBR Exclusives. You won’t be sorry!
