Does Animation Distill a Serious Message?

Posted on November 12, 2019October 13, 2019 by Irina

We’ve all heard it at some point. An innocent anime uninitiated that tells us “oh yeah, the Japanese cartoons?” or “isn’t it for kids?”… It drives some of us crazy. Not the questions themselves but the implications. The undertone isn’t always there, however once in a while you do get the feeling that people think…

Fire Force Episode 16 – The Impossible Dream – Gallery

Posted on November 12, 2019November 10, 2019 by Irina

Fire Force is on a real roll if you ask me. It’s been really good for a while and this week…well if you want to read all my thoughts on it, you can do so over on 100 Word Anime, I would really appreciate it. In the meantime though, feel free to appreciate some of…

Review of My Hero Academia s4 ep67 – Disarming the Bomb and Twisting Fate —

Posted on November 11, 2019 by Irina

Hi everyone! Irina (from I Drink and Watch Anime) and I are back to review My Hero Academia season 4’s episode “Fighting Fate.” How was your week, Irina? Was it as cold in Canada as it was here in Ohio? We’re having temperatures more typical of January! It’s coldish but nowhere near January temperatures. The… via…

Am I too Positive to be a Reviewer?

Posted on November 11, 2019November 2, 2019 by Irina

Most fans hate it when someone poopoos their favourite series. That’s pretty understandable. And they tend to react defensively which isn’t always pleasant. I’ve spoken to quite a few bloggers that tell me they actively try to avoid being overly negative in their reviews and editorials and prefer reading blogs that are positive as well….

Psycho Pass s3 ep3 – Tensions Flare

Posted on November 10, 2019November 9, 2019 by Irina

Another week, another brand-new episode of Psycho Pass. I’m going to hold back and be all mysterious and stuff. Because that’s how I do. I definitely don’t blurt out exactly how I feel about a show in the very first line of every post and then there’s no point in reading the rest. Nuh-huh. No…

Dr. Stone Episode 19 – Tsukasa the Beloved

Posted on November 9, 2019November 9, 2019 by Irina

On Fridays I watch Dr. Stone and Fire Force so this Friday was just chalk full of Fire and Fury! I’m not sure if it’s a weird combo. I feel like not that many people are watching both of these even if they do have a lot of elements in common. I went off on…

Top 5 Anime to Watch When You Have a Cold

Posted on November 8, 2019October 14, 2019 by Irina

You may think that Canada is the land of maple syrup and apologies but it’s not. Well it is, sorry. However, it’s also the land of colds! At the very least Quebec is. The constant humidity mixed with some of the fastest and most radical temperature variations year round means that if you go anywhere…

We Fear What We Know? Do Our Regional Fears Influence Anime?

Posted on November 7, 2019November 7, 2019 by Irina

I was going to write this as part of my Halloween post series. The idea was simple enough, see if there is a significant difference between common fears based on location and then try to make a correlation with what we see in anime. However, as I started to research the post, it sort of…

Visuals Matter in Anime

Posted on November 6, 2019October 5, 2019 by Irina

Did that title blow your mind? There are few more obvious statements I could make. To be honest I struggled with it quite a bit. I just couldn’t figure out how to explain what I wanted to talk about in one sentence. Let me give you the context:

Fire Force Episode 15 – Drought – Gallery

Posted on November 5, 2019November 5, 2019 by Irina

Fire Force revamped itself for midseason with a new OP and ED as well as new characters to join our main cast. It’s a breath of fresh air. But it still looks like Fire Force and considering Fire Force looks amazing, that’s a good thing. As for the story, I write about it over on…

A Cautious Defense of Fandoms

Posted on November 4, 2019September 29, 2019 by Irina

I’ve done a few defense posts in the past. I’ve had very debatable success with them but it seems I still haven’t learned my lesson. In many ways I am radically mediocre. I tend to fall pretty much in the middle of most debates. The only real anime related point I tend to advocate for…

Psycho Pass s3 ep2 – The Hand Off

Posted on November 3, 2019November 2, 2019 by Irina

Welcome back everyone to my Psycho Pass watch-a-long with Matt! I’m surprised by how few bloggers seem to be watching this series but that’s o.k. Small parties are the funnest! Also, my week has been a killer so I don’t want to go to some huge party! Next week is gruesome too but after that, it…
