Genre : Comedy, drama, spiritual, slice of life, romance, rabbits, magical girl Episodes: 10 Studio: Toei Animation   This one is going to be a little different.

In Defense of Subjectivity in Anime Blogging

Posted on January 29, 2020December 8, 2019 by Irina

Having any sort of online communal experience is a weird thing. We all experience things in different ways so it can already be a little tough to understand each other in the best of circumstances, but when you add on the digital veil over that it becomes even more nebulous. It’s a telephone game where…

Surrealism and Magical Realism in Anime

Posted on January 28, 2020December 8, 2019 by Irina

I am very inconsistent with my opening paragraphs. I sort of switch between a personal introduction to ease readers into the post and just jumping right in without any warning. I haven’t really decided which approach suits me best yet and my readers have been too polite to point it out. This is a brand…

My Hero Academia s4 ep78 – Aftermath

Posted on January 27, 2020 by Irina

So how do you follow up an episode like Bright Future? An unenviable task for sure. Last week’s My Hero Academia rocked me and essentially recontextualized the entire season for me. Potentially the entire series. It’s a much harsher and more uncompromising world that greets me this week, but also more empathic. One with real…

Haikyuu!!: To the Top ep3 – Growth

Posted on January 26, 2020January 25, 2020 by Irina

OK, fingers crossed that this post won’t magically evaporate out of my scheduled posts. Or else I will be sad! I just rewrote my Somali review and a could of collabs and I’m getting a little tired. It’s a lot of work for a Saturday morning. I may just have redefined first world problems.

Somali and The Forest Spirit Episode 3 – Poisoned Mushroom

Posted on January 25, 2020 by Irina

For some reason, the 1000 word or so episode review I wrote for Somali and the Forrest Spirit on Thursday seems to have vanished, all but the feature image that is. So I now find myself trying to rewrite it on the spot and I can’t say I’m thrilled about it. I liked that review…

Top 5 Anime Titles That Mislead Me

Posted on January 24, 2020January 19, 2020 by Irina

As someone who is fairly oblivious to the anime community I rarely hear about the pre-season hype. As such, I tend to base a lot of my expectations of any given anime on the cover image and title. Imagine my disappointment at the utter lack of fruit and serious basket under-representation in Fruits Basket… And…

My Anime Opinions Change Nothing

In/Spectre Episode 2 Review — Gallery

Posted on January 23, 2020 by Irina

We’re back with the second episode of In/Spectre and I must say I was really enjoying it. Right up until we got a ā€˜to be continued’ shot and then the credits rolled right when things were getting really juicy. It is such a cheap plot particularly when it is clear that this story willĀ be… via…

One for All – Anime’s Underlying Instinct to Favour the Many

Posted on January 22, 2020December 7, 2019 by Irina

Sort of an ironic gif for my point… I was recently speaking to someone about my love of anime. Incidentally this happens more and more lately. Talking to real life people about anime I mean. For the most part they nod and smile politely or they ask tons of questions so they can impress some…
