Have you guys ever read The Casual Vacancy. It’s a novel J,K, Rowling published after finishing the Harry Potter series. It’s a slightly sleepy suburban mystery which looks into the themes of class inequality, the prevalence and impact of the drug trade on common individuals and other social issues without every taking to hard a…

Anime confessions
Are you a loyal anime fan? Do you stand by those shows which have brought you joy? Lately, I’ve read a few think pieces on how people’s preconceptions can colour our enjoyment of a show. How going into an anime with preconceived notions or expectations based on other people’s experiences, inevitably affects what we end…
Pet Episode 1 – Gallery
I’m not sure Pet is really the type of show that lends itself well to gallery posts but I don’t want to clog up Karandi’s media storage so I’m still going to drop my screencaps here. I’m the type of person that likes to look at screencaps along with reviews to get a sense of…
Rokka – Braves of The Six Flowers : well that was Unexpected!
Genre : Fantasy, adventure, action, mystery, romance Episodes: 12 Studio: Passione Piena is a land of uncertainty and strife. Sure it’s enjoyed a few decades of peace, prosperity even, but in a land constantly threatened by the potential return of the demon king, a devastating monster that could wipe out humanity in its…
Review of My Hero Academia s4 ep75: His Upper Limit and a Very Strong Resolve —
Happy New Year, everyone! Irina from I Drink and Watch Anime and I are happy to bring you our review of My Hero Academia Season 4 episode 75, “The Unforeseen Hope.” We pick right up where the previous episode left off, with, of course, a few minutes of overlap just in case we forgot everything… via…
Somali and The Forest Spirit Sure is Pretty (Episode 1)
I just saw the first episode of Somali and the Forest Spirit when it premiered on Thursday and about 3 seconds in I said to myself, boy, this show sure is pretty! This is the first thing I’ve seen of the winter season so I didn’t know if I would be reviewing it or not…
Fire Force Episode 23 & 24 – 12 Years Ago – Gallery
Putting the last two episode together in a single day was pretty sneaky of Fire Force. It affected my watching experience and I do go into it over on 100 Word Anime along with all my thoughts about these last two episodes. One of the side effects of doubling over on episodes though, is that…
My Hero Academia s4 ep74 – The Heart of a Hero
It occurs to me that I have no sense of seasonal orientation when it comes to this season of My Hero Academia. Other series seem to be ending so the season must be close to an end, yet I still feel like we’re in the opening episodes. That can be either a good or a…
Fire Force Episode 22 – Kill ’em With Kindness – Gallery
I use to write the episode review over on 100 Word Anime (check it out – link right there!), before I wrote the gallery posts, to give Karandi as much time as possible to do any edits if she wanted. But she is very non invasive so it turns out I could have written the…
Review of My Hero Academia s4 ep73: Dissent in the Ranks and Someone’s Got a Long Game —
Hi, everyone! Hi, Irina from I Drink and Watch Anime! Surprisingly, we’ve had bright and sunny weather down here in the states. If I wasn’t suspicious that Mother Nature’s going to make us pay for this later, I’d be enjoying it a lot more! 2,703 more words via Review of My Hero Academia s4 ep73: Dissent…
Blood Blockade Battleground and Beyond – If You Can Make it There…
Genre : Action, comedy, supernatural, urban fantasy, science fiction. Episodes: 12 Studio: Bones Cities are like people. They’re living things with a mind and personality of their own. Some are calm and reserved, others brutish and loud. There are cities that are such powerful personalities that you can always tell when someone’s spent…
Anime Winter 2020 Here I Come!
I’ve been saying this a lot lately but boy did the end of the fall season hit me by surprise. Maybe it’s because I only watch a few shows seasonally so I don’t get a proper sense of time. Or maybe I was just into the series I was watching and wasn’t prepared for them…
‘Tis the Season For Stuff
***That’s the gif Google suggested for “anime stuff” and who am I to argue with genius?*** We live in an increasingly digital world. I haven’t bought a physical copy of anime in years and I don’t particularly feel the urge to. However, if the internet goes down you will find me in a quivering heap…
Fire Force Episode 21 – Like a Moth to a Flame – Gallery
I can’t believe the season is winding down already. Seems like it just started! Well at least we still have a bit more Fire Force to go and boy is it stepping up its endgame. Last week was a brilliant show of atmospheric manipulation through colour and sound deprivation. This week? It’s all about skewed…
My Hero Academia s4 ep72 – They Got Me Again
It’s so weird to think many shows are ending right now. I feel like My Hero Academia just started. I say that in a good way! Oops I started off a post in the middle of a thought again. Sorry about that guys. I’m finishing up the last of my Christmas shopping and I’m…
