Irina Wants Free Therapy – Why Can’t I Review Certain Anime?

Posted on December 8, 2018November 25, 2018 by Irina

When you post everyday, one of the things that suddenly becomes precious to you is source material! Obviously, I’m not watching entire series every day, and I wouldn’t want to even if I could somehow. As such, I’ve come to really appreciate those shows I have watched and tell you all about them.

Top 5 Reasons to Keep Blogging

Posted on December 7, 2018November 25, 2018 by Irina

You know, we all go through those rough patches. Those periods when we actively ask ourselves, why are we doing this? Blogging is one of those hobbies that’s fun but is also suspiciously like work. I mean some people do actually do this professionally. There aren’t that many people that are receptionists just for fun……

A D-mail conversation with Raistlin (part 5)

Posted on December 5, 2018 by Irina

Hello Everyone, Raistlin and I have been looking for a project to do together for some time now and after I published my recent completely biased non reviews of Steins;Gate 0, he suggested we try to find something on that theme. Don’t let the good times end… Raistlin had a somewhat different opinion of the…

The Amateur Japanese Anime Blog

Posted on December 4, 2018December 2, 2018 by Irina

I’ve been wondering for a while whether hobbyist anime bloggers are common in Japan. Wow, this post is off to a dry start. Let me give you some context here. Around the anime blogging community (that *I* am aware of), we often speculate or pretend to know things about Japanese culture, norms and society. A…

Tsurune Episode 6 – The restrained beauty of propriety

Posted on December 2, 2018December 2, 2018 by Irina

Genre: Drama; Sports; School Studio: Kyoto Animation I really considered naming this week’s review “the other Shu drops”! I’m depressingly and unreasonably fond of that title. It’s pretty stupid and doesn’t fit the tone of either Tsurune or this post. And I love it. If this is your first time here: welcome, I believe that little…

The Anime Hero

Posted on December 1, 2018November 25, 2018 by Irina

Have you noticed that leading characters usually all have some traits in common? Well at least stereotypical ones. This is even more obvious when you restrain them to particular genres. However, I’ve noticed (or imagined…) a little something when it comes to anime heroes. They’re kinda bizarro…

My Top 5 Animes with Great Animation

Posted on November 30, 2018November 28, 2018 by Irina

I promised myself I would take some time to admire anime on technical merits and then promptly forgot all about it. It’s not that I don’t want to. I just started watching these really fun and endearing shows (Gurren Lagann and Cells at Work), that slowly develop characters by giving them benevolent but challenging foils…

Creative vs Technical Merits of Anime

Posted on November 28, 2018November 25, 2018 by Irina

I’ve been meaning to explore this subject for a while now. I read a lot of your reviews. A lot. And I see a clearly story centric trend in them. Design and production elements are clearly not given the same weight as creative ones. Even when it comes to fanservice. And that’s when they are…

Irina and Crow in Zombieland (Saga) ep6: Lily and the Man in her Life

Posted on November 26, 2018November 26, 2018 by Irina

You know, Zombieland Saga turned out to be both exactly what I expected and completely different from what I thought it would be. I bet a lot of people feel this way, but I mean it as a compliment! This episode is a perfect example of just that. Crow and I had quite the time…

The Rei Ayanami Dilema

Posted on November 26, 2018November 17, 2018 by Irina

So far I’ve managed to stay pretty far away from Neon Genesis Evangelion on this blog. I’ve mentioned it in passing but I’ve yet to dedicate a single post to any of its many themes, characters or legacies. Love it or hate it, you cannot deny that the series has had an important impact on…
