Boukyaku no Sachiko (A Meal Makes Her Forget) – Manga First Impression

Posted on April 18, 2022January 14, 2022 by Irina

For some reason, I suddenly decided that I wanted to read manga that had food as a strong theme. I’m not sure why, I was just in that sort of mood. So I went through AniList and looked up manga that had Fodd as a tag and for the most part, I was rewarded. It’s…

Spy x Family episode 2 – Found Family

Posted on April 17, 2022April 30, 2022 by Irina

I am particularly observant and in the know when it comes to the anime community, that’s why I think that the first episode of Spy x Family was received fairly well. That’s just the impression that I got, don’t quote me on it. So will episode 2 live up to the standard set by the…

Tomodachi Game ep 2 – Love Square

Posted on April 16, 2022April 12, 2022 by Irina

I’m still fairly ambivalent about Tomodachi Game. I have definitely watched and reviewed shows I have enjoyed less than this but I can’t say it’s a great show either. It does have the potential to get interesting or to go completely down the drain. However, as I’m otherwise having a great anime season, I figure…

Spy x Family episode 1 – Family Man

Posted on April 10, 2022April 30, 2022 by Irina

Spy x Family might be the most anticipated new anime of the season. It certainly was the anime I had been looking forward to the most since… well for a really long time now. I figure a new season of Natsume might beat it out in excitement but that’s about it. As some of you…

Tomodachi Game ep 1 – Caution

Posted on April 9, 2022April 9, 2022 by Irina

It’s the most magical time, that happens 4 times a year… It’s a new season of anime. I had already chosen to review Spy x Family as it airs because I loved the manga so much but I didn’t know what my second pick should be. Honestly, I decided on Tomodachi Game for a number…

Anime confessions

Posted on April 7, 2022February 18, 2022 by Irina

Sometimes you like animes that aren’t very good, sometimes you fail to appreciate masterpieces. I do both on a regular basis! Lately, I’ve read a few think pieces on how people’s preconceptions can color our enjoyment of a show. How going into an anime with preconceived notions or expectations based on other people’s experiences, inevitably…

Titles: Robotics;Notes Genre: Mecha, science fiction; drama Episodes: 22 Studio: Production I.G Out of all the school clubs I wish I could have been a part of when I was younger, it’s not the anime or manga club that attracts me the most, it’s hands down the robotics club. Heck, I would like to be…

Deres, Deres Everywhere!

Posted on April 5, 2022January 21, 2022 by Irina

I’ve written about dere types before. I even made a whole post about what I consider to be the baffling archetype of tsunderes as well as the super-rare tsunshun. I even have a Quick and Easy Guide to Becoming Any (or all) “dere” Type. But lately, I see people talking about all sorts of dere…

The Voynich Hotel – Manga First Impression

Posted on April 4, 2022April 4, 2022 by Irina

When I found out that the Voynich Hotel was complete in 3 volumes, I decided to wait until I had finished the entire series before talking about it on this blog. Unfortunately, when I went to order the last 2 volumes, they were out of stock. I’m too impatient to wait until they come back…

The Case Study of Vanitas ep.24 – Ce N’est Qu’un Au Revoir

Posted on April 2, 2022April 1, 2022 by Irina

The Case Study of Vanitas has confusing titles. Each episode has an English title on Crunchyroll, for instance, this last one was called His Wish, referring to Vanitas’s last lines. But the episode itself had a title card with the title Après La Pluie, which means after the rain, also a fitting title. So every…
