Spring is in the air! Theoretically. It snowed last week where I live. But soon, the flowers will bloom, the weather will warm, the spring anime season will start. And until then, we’ve got VIZ news and new releases to entertain you! This month we’re covering new volumes of some series we’ve discussed before (including…
Last Week’s Episode: Anime Dubs are a Flat Circle
I know this isn’t a music column but the only two thing s I want to listen to for the rest of the week are Swedish folk music and Cruel Angel’s Thesis, so this column is dedicated to Ari Aster’s Midsommar and Netflix’s incredible ability to resurrect arguments I only hazily remember from anime forums of…
Last Week’s Episode: Sailor Moon Sings in America
WWAC runs all what comics news is fit to print over at Previously — but every day brings its own deluge of comics-adjacent news. So here’s a new column, Last Week’s Episode, where we curate the most interesting bits of comic film, TV, and other media each week. According to me, anyway!
My First Comic: It All Began With Manga
I’ve had three first “comics,” including the first sequential art I recall reading, my first American graphic novels, and the first floppy issues I collected as part of a weekly dedication to a local comics shop. Each inaugurated a new type of “comic” into my life and a new awareness of the comics community.
Undeniable Comfort and Camaraderie in Sailor Moon R The Movie: Promise of the Rose

25 Years of Never Being Alone: Sailor Moon and Me
It was an afternoon cartoon, scheduled between other familiar kids’ shows. The art was a little different, a little more dynamic and alive, more unabashedly feminine than I was used to seeing, even at eight-years-old. I don’t remember seeing commercials for this new show, with its pigtailed heroine in a sailor suit, but I remember the…
How to Throw a Watch Party in the Name of Sailor Moon R: The Movie
I know I wasn’t the only Sailor Moon fan who was delighted at the news that Viz Media would be re-releasing Sailor Moon R: The Movie in theatres this month, continuing their mission to bring the show back for a new generation of Moonies. Los Angeles will be getting a glitzy premiere on January 13,…
Previously On Comics: Oh, comics.
Hello, Previously fans! Kate here with the final Previously on Comics of 2016. And this past week was a doozy, reminding us all that just being in comics is a questionable life choice. Sometimes you spend a morning away from social media for whatever reason–a late morning snooze, an early morning workout–and then you check…
Geek Mystique: Lifestyle News for November
November has been quite the month, hasn’t it? While I hope this column provides a brief reprieve from the current state of our political world, I do want to start with some resources for fighting the good fight.
Geek Mystique: Lifestyle News for August
Hey! It is the second installment of Geek Mystique, the lifestyle section’s monthly lifestyle news column. These links are lovingly curated by I (um…me), your lifestyle editor, based on what is trending right now…and also just what I really like such as Lisa Frank leggings and mermaid crowns.
WWAC Talks Friendship & Friendship Break-Ups, Pt. 2: Advice & Media
Earlier this week, we talked about friendships ending: Signs for toxic friendships that need to end, potential reasons for why some friendships end, and how patriarchy can negatively impact our friendships. In Part 2, we continue this conversation by sharing our advice, based on our own experiences, when dealing with the pain and grief that comes…
