Shusei Kagari Psycho Pass anime

The tragedy of Shusei Kagari

Posted on April 13, 2022April 13, 2022 by Irina

Psycho Pass is a fantastic show with an extraordinary cast who probably each deserve their own page but I always had a huge soft spot for Kagari and I really feel he doesn’t get enough love. First a rant: Kogami and Kagari are very similar sounding names and it’s kinda mean on the part of…

New Year’s is for Lovers – My OTP

Posted on December 29, 2021September 14, 2021 by Irina

Some of you may have picked up on the fact that I’m not much of a romantic. It’s not that I have anything against lurve really but I am just generally bored by romantic storylines and find most of what passes for epic love stories to be frankly very unromantic…. I mean people still think…

Berserk – When Dreams Go Bad

Posted on May 25, 2021May 25, 2021 by Irina

This was the first post I ever wrote for OWLS. For those of you not familiar, that was a blogger group I was a part of. In any case, I have always really liked this post but not many people got a chance to see it. In light of the tragic death of Kentaro Miura…

The Art of the Helpless Antagonist

Posted on March 25, 2020 by Irina

A while ago I came across this little piece of fan art I absolutely love! It’s great right. It may speak to some dark twisted nature deep in me, but Danganronpa, Magical Girl Raising Project and Madoka also happen to be 3 of my favorite franchises. I’m probably the only person in the world who…

Bungo Stray Dogs and A Night on The Galactic Express

Posted on July 15, 2019July 15, 2019 by Irina

I’ve been meaning to write about the real-life authors that serve as namesakes for the Bungo Stray Dog characters for some time now and I will. I’m not quite sure how to tackle it yet. There’s a lot of material and fun little tidbits and Easter eggs I want to share. It’s a lot of…

Sena, Haganai’s Poor Pretty Rich Girl

Posted on July 1, 2019 by Irina

I guess there will be some Haganai spoilers lower down. It’s not really the type of show that has big twists or anything but I do reference events from season two. Please keep that in mind before reading on. I quite liked the first season of Haganai. As far as classic mildly Ecchi harems go,…

Why Bakugo Isn’t a Mary Sue

Posted on June 17, 2019 by Irina

This week will be a slight departure from my usual character studies. We’re not only going to take a look at Bakugo but at his cofounding and frustrating character and the creative process behind it. I hope you enjoy the post! What makes a good, engaging, character? It’s a riddle that’s kept authors guessing since…

Kyoya Ootori – Ouran’s Eternal Third Son

Posted on June 3, 2019May 25, 2019 by Irina

If you’ve been following along with my character studies for a while, you may know that I choose generally hapless characters. People that just can’t seem to catch a break – or at least not the break I feel they deserve. I have featured a gallery of unfortunate misfits and put upon suckers. So why…

Born to Die – Bungo Stray Dogs’ Karma

Posted on May 20, 2019 by Irina

****I will be discussing characters and events from the fourth episode of Bingo Stray Dogs, season 3. Although I don’t believe this post by spoils anything about the season or the larger plot, it does go over the episode itself in fair detail so if you don’t want to learn what happens, please feel free…

Do you know Hōka Inumuta?

Posted on May 6, 2019March 31, 2019 by Irina

When I called out for help and inspiration on anime characters to write about, Kill la Kill’s Ryuko was one of the top contenders. She doesn’t exactly fit the underrated/underappreciated theme I’m trying to go for. In fact, she’s one of the few characters with her very own TV tropes page I have now wasted an afternoon…

Son Goku, The man, The Legend, The Monkey

Posted on March 11, 2019March 11, 2019 by Irina

What do you think of when you hear the name Son Goku? Don’t answer that, I already know exactly what you think of. It’s my header gif. You think of DBZ like any normal little otaku would. And I don’t blame you at all, he’s by far the most famous anime Goku I can think…

Yoko Littner – Behind Every Great Man

Posted on February 25, 2019January 30, 2019 by Irina

In case I’ve been too subtle on the point, I really liked Gurren Lagann. It’s not a particularly kind story though. It gets pretty rough with its cast. Of the survivors, few if any are unscathed. One of the prevalent themes of Gurren Lagann seems to be that a life well led is as rich…

The Troubled Persona of Naoto Shirogane

Posted on January 28, 2019January 13, 2019 by Irina

***Although I have seen the animation, this will be mostly about the game version of Naoto as I know it better*** Also minor Naoto SPOILERS I guess… I mean it’s pretty obvious but whatever…  Do you guys know Naoto Shirogane? If you haven’t had the pleasure you should really meet. Naoto is just freakin lovely….

The Man Behind the Hand – Tomura Shigaraki

Posted on January 14, 2019January 6, 2019 by Irina

Have you ever stopped to consider how many characters there are in My Hero Academia? A lot, the answer is A LOT! And most of them are given at least a modicum of development. Just enough to make you think they’re more than just set pieces and actually do continue existing once the main characters…
