There is this island off the coast of Japan where worlds collide. Beasts and gods seem to coexist, beauty and life overflows from every corner. At first glance, one could think an island like this is paradise. And that is why the Shogun believes that the elixir of life is somewhere on that island. However,…

Bungo Stray Dogs 5 ep. 61 – Unfair
What the… OMG… Whelp, I guess they did wrap everything up in the last episode but oh my. I’m a little out of breath and I’m sad. Not even entirely sure why. And not in a bad way. In a bittersweet sort of way. Ok so let’s talk about it. I have so much to…
ZOM 100 – Episode 8
I told you guys, didn’t I? I told you right!!??!! Beatrix is the best. At least I think she’s the best. She is my favourite character and I have been waiting for her to show up ever since episode 1. Her arrival also marks a little bit of a tonal shift for the story, I…
The Masterful Cat Is Depressed Again Today – Episode 11
There are a few things that leave me scratching my head in the otherwise generally sweet The Masterful Cat Is Depressed Again Today. I don’t quite get the author I guess. They describe themselves as “a sheep who draws manga” and I guess I just have to take their word for it. I’ll try to…
Welcome to Demon School Iruma Kun 3 – The Tournament Arc
TIruma is back and after all he’s been through, maybe he can finally enjoy his high school life…in the demon realm. It’s actually pretty nice! But it turns out that there’s no time to rest. It will soon be time for the Harvest and Music Festivals and Iruma and his classmates are going to have to…
Bungo Stray Dogs 5 ep. 60 – Game Over?
There is only one episode left in this season of Bungo Stray Dogs. Just one! And they better get to work on making everything work out in the end real quick cause I can’t live for months with this anxiety. This is just wrong! How can you do this to my beloved characters? Aat least…

The Masterful Cat Is Depressed Again Today – Episode 10
I have never been on a buddy trip as an adult. I’ve traveled with partners and for work quite a bit. I even took some solo trips here and there, but I have never traveled with friends. And I feel like maybe I’ve missed out. If I were to get just disgustingly sappy, I would…
Bungo Stray Dogs 5 ep. 59 – Consequences
Oh my, things are getting heavy… By Bungo Stray Dog standards at least. And I’m not used to this show being heavy. I’m not sure how to take it. It’s throwing me all out of balance. I kind of love it…
ZOM 100 – Episode 7
My header gif is very subtle this week but I quite like it. Do you? I think it has something comforting about it. I hope I can find a way to reuse it. And because it’s so subtle, it doesn’t take long to load. So yay!
The Masterful Cat Is Depressed Again Today – Episodes 8 & 9
Just as I was rejoicing last week that The Masterful Cat is Depressed Again had taken a week off and I wasn’t too far behind, the show goes and releases two episodes in the same week. I’m not complaining, double the cat, double the fun! Oh but that means too many screencaps again…sowwwwy
In defense of clichés
Welcome to another instalment of Irina defends things that don’t need defending. I find myself frequently commenting on the benefits of stereotypes. I understand that lack of novelty is a common complaint and that calling a show/character/premise “cliché” is an easy criticism to lob at a show we don’t have much to say about. It’s…
Bungo Stray Dogs 5 ep. 56-58 – Fun & Games
This is where I pay for my laziness by having to review three episodes in one post. And not just any three episodes. These babies were jam-packed. I could easily do a long-running post on each one individually and leave half my thoughts out. I’m going to need to discipline myself here or else you,…
ZOM 100 – Episode 6
I now realize that if I hadn’t told you about my little vacation… I might have gotten away with it. Seems like all the anime waited for me and I am grateful! I am a little worried about all the delays in the ZOM 100 production though. They seem to be having a hard time….
The Masterful Cat Is Depressed Again Today – Episode 7
I was on vacation for the past two weeks and although I had every intention of keeping up with my seasonal reviews, I simply couldn’t figure out a way to get the screencaps I wanted where I was or the gifs for the header. I tried to write a BSD review and it just wasn’t…
