A Drop In The Ocean – The Symbolism of Water in Anime

Posted on October 2, 2018December 27, 2018 by Irina

I once tried to convince you all that I’m not just a drunk, but a person fascinated by symbolism and patterns. I actually did mean half of that. And the fact is that since I started putting together drinking games for anime, I have noticed certain elements that seem to come back a lot. Some…

Posted on October 1, 2018September 2, 2018 by Irina

Today we are celebrating Magane day!  This super fun little traditional was started by Mel over at MelinAnimeLand. Last year I shared my love for the feisty bespectacled baseball player Miyuki.

Steins;Gate 0 – Time Heals All Wounds

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

Genre: Everything that Irina Loves Episodes:23 Studio: White Fox It’s amazing how quickly something can seep into your normal. You repeat the same actions under the same circumstances a few times and just like that, it’s a ritual. Comforting and familiar. You miss it when it’s not around. Before you can even notice, it’s a little…

Do You Like Characters Which Are Relatable or Remarkable?

Posted on September 29, 2018September 9, 2018 by Irina

That post title took me forever to come up with. Yes it did!!! I actually gave up and just used the post outline instead. But I tried for a long time before that. Some of you may remember that I generally prefer character driven narratives to plot driven ones. This means I can enjoy shows…

Posted on September 28, 2018September 9, 2018 by Irina

Guys, remember when Jordanne let me publish the Top 5 + 3 Reasons You Should Watch Voltron: Legendary Defender she wrote? It’s so good.

When Anger Management Issues Are a Feature Not a Bug – Thunderous Tsundere

Posted on September 26, 2018 by Irina

I’ve been wanting to write a post on dere archetypes forever. Since before I started this blog. You may think that’s super passé…o.k. it is sort of outdated. Everybody’s already shared their views on the subject. Especially on the Tsundere. There’s nothing left to say. Maybe no one will want to read this… Whatever, it’s…

Posted on September 24, 2018September 22, 2018 by Irina

Posted on September 23, 2018September 22, 2018 by Irina

Genre : Josei, Horror, Mystery, Psychological Thriller Studio: J.C.Staff Well well well…. Isn’t this fun.

Now that’s an expression I…

Steins;Gate 0 Ep 22 -A Nostalgic Sorrow

Posted on September 23, 2018September 22, 2018 by Irina

Have you guys noticed that Steins:Gate breaks down into mini thematic arcs through episode titles. Right now we’re in the middle of a renaissance. “Renaissance are usually considered to include intensified classical scholarship, scientific and geographical discovery, a sense of individual human potentialities, and the assertion of the active and secular over the religious and contemplative life“ Well doesn’t that sound promising!

I don’t Know Who I Am Anymore….Why My Anime Scores Do Not Represent Me!

Posted on September 22, 2018August 25, 2018 by Irina

I was going through my MAL and Anilist the other day, trying to find material for a post, and I was genuinely surprised by some of the ratings. Who is this odd person I thought to myself. Wait, I liked this show way more than that show, why do they have the same score?  Why…
