Visual Prison is getting more ridiculous with each passing episode. I mean that as the loving compliment it is. Although I figure it will be very detrimental to the overall rating the show receives. It works for me though. And if you have a healthy sense of humour and appreciation for kitsch, it may work…
I really wanted to name this week’s Platinum End post: Butt Wings Rides Again but let’s face it, that’s what I want to name all my Platinum End posts. And that might get confusing…
In my last post about The Night Beyond the Tricornered Window, my readers called me out a little bit. In a good way. In fact, called out isn’t the right expression. Basically, they questioned why I was still watching this show. And that is an excellent question!
One of the great things about Halloween is that you get to dress up. Dressing up is tons of fun! Some of us wiser otaku have learned not to wait for Haloween to cosplay but for the rest, we at least have this one day to pretend to be animated characters! In the past, I…
Every year around Halloween time I write a Scarier in Japan post. I’ve covered creepypastas monsters and urban legends (twice). This year, I’m going for campfire stories. So what are campfire stories? Well, they’re not that different from urban legends or creepypastas really except that they are generally believed to be older than the internet….
Titles: BURN THE WITCH Genre: Action, fantasy, comedy Episodes: 3 ONA Studio: Studio Colorido, Team Yamahitsuji Ninny doesn’t understand why girls want to be princesses. What’s the point? You go through all the trouble of being prim and proper, you get a beautiful gown and maybe a mouse butler or something. As if by magic…
Titles: Tokyo Kushu, Tokyo Ghoul Genre: Drama, horror, action, Episodes: 12 + 12 Studio: Studio Pierrot Kaneki is bad with girls. He’s a shy book nerd who’s never been that great at making friends, to begin with. Not that he doesn’t have any friends. He has Hide and that’s the best friend anyone could wish…
It’s been a while so I figured for Halloween, I’d suggest some nice spoopy webtoons for you all. There are in fact quite a few amazing Horror webtoons out there and most of them are super popular. I figure most of you have heard of them already. So I decided to pick something a bit…
Man, this second season of Demon Slayer is beautiful. Maybe beautiful is not the right word considering this is a horror anime where demons devour and dismember innocent people but… it’s just so pretty. I thought the first season was visually impressive but so far everything has been brought up a notch. The animation is…
Hi Irina! How has your week been going? Mine, well…let’s just say that it’s mid semester week right now and I think that says enough probably. I don’t know, just lots of things to do that keeps things interesting and a bit chaotic. Especially when working a bit too. My week is great. I haven’t […]…
Obviously, Visual Prison is not a show that will appeal to the masses. It’s a rather self-indulgent parody that’s a bit too soft to really be bitting. You know.., ’cause vampires… Unsurprisingly though, I like it. I haven’t been having much luck with my seasonal picks and this one is exactly what I was hoping…
I have to admit that so far, I’m not having the best luck with my seasonal picks. AMAIM is probably the top contender right now and I’m relatively neutral on it. I had things to complain about in the first episode. My hopes for The Night Beyond the Tricornered Window are slowly dwindling. But that…
This week on Platinum End, we learn about unusual wing placement!
Titles: Godzilla S.P Genre: Science Fiction, action, mecha, kaaiju Episodes: 13 Studio: Orange and BONES Wow, the Netflix synopsis fo this series is awful. Let me put it here: This series features an original story, which depicts the young geniuses Mei Kamino, a female researcher, and Yun Arikawa, a male engineer, as they take on…
There are very few traditions here on I Drink and Watch Anime. Well, besides drinking and watching anime. And the drinking is optional. This isn’t a very structured place… But there is one tradition that is very near and dear to me. And that is my yearly countdown to Halloween. What can I say, I…
