Posted on August 19, 2018August 18, 2018 by Irina

Hello friends, I’m writing you from the past. It’s Thursday morning and despite my treats on twitter, I did not take a mental day off work. I always write my Steins;Gate 0 reviews this way. I watch the show on Wednesday evening, let it take hold of my mind overnight, turn that over until I…

In Anime Less is More Except When It’s Less

Posted on August 15, 2018August 15, 2018 by Irina

A recurring theme I’ve noticed when reviewing series is that shows try to do “too much”. One of the most common pitfall, especially in shorter series, is that they introduce a bevy of elements and different plot points that they simply don’t have time to properly develop or resolve. As such, they inevitably create plot…

Steins;Gate 0 Ep 17 – The Second That Lasts Forever

Posted on August 12, 2018August 11, 2018 by Irina

Steins;Gate, Steins;Gate. Steins;Gate…. I thought we had an understanding. I thought we agreed you would stop ending on those shock scenes and taking over my entire mind until the next episode. I thought we got the emotional stuff out of the way. We were just going to do some nice convoluted time hopping adventurin’ and…

What’s in a Name ? (Anime Edition)

Posted on August 7, 2018August 21, 2020 by Irina

Some of you may remember that I once wrote a post about naming posts. To this day, finding interesting yet meaningful post names is a huge challenge for me. I’m tempted to just name them randomly, like Henry or something… What I didn’t mention then is that names in general have long been a source…
