The Morose Mononokean 2 episode 1 w Karandi and Irina – Picking up Where we Left off

Posted on January 7, 2019January 7, 2019 by Irina

Irina: Random fact about The Morose Mononokean: the review for season 1 was my first ever post! You don’t need to look it up just take my word for it. At the time I thought that writing posts about anime was some form of magic. It seemed so crazy that you could consistently just watch…

Tsurune Episode 10 – Giving it Another Shot

All I Want for Christmas is A Mecha (12 days)

Posted on December 22, 2018December 9, 2018 by Irina

Irina and Crow in Zombieland (Saga) ep11: It’s Always Darkest Before the Dawn

Posted on December 17, 2018December 16, 2018 by Irina

Here we are, the penultimate episode, and I’m already a little sad. As much as I’m going to miss this surprisingly loveable little show, I think I might miss our after reviewing tradition even more. OK maybe not more, it really is a very sweet show, but just as much! It’s been great! I hope…

Tsurune Episode 8 – Straight as an Arrow

Posted on December 16, 2018December 16, 2018 by Irina

Genre: Drama; Sports; School Studio: Kyoto Animation Guys, when does trolling become bullying? First Tsurune basically mocked me for not using the Other Shu title for two weeks in a row. Now, hen I more or less randomly picked “Another String to your Bow” last week, they have an entire restringing scene with emotional significance in…

Tsurune Episode 7 – Adding a string to your bow

Posted on December 9, 2018December 9, 2018 by Irina

Genre: Drama; Sports; School Studio: Kyoto Animation It’s like this show is daring me to use that “other Shu drops” title. Mocking my lack of gumption and failure to follow through with my dumber instincts. Why show..why?… Adding a string to your bow is an odd expression which means acquiring a new skill or figuring out…

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…
