This one has been a long time coming. Some of you may know that I hold a special place in my heart for anime tech. Apparently, I may be a bit of a nerd…who knew… But the wondrous worlds of anime are so full of incredible inventions that I had to find a way to…
The Forgotten Charms of the Fandub
English versions of anime have gotten exponentially better over the past few years. The quality of English language voice acting is almost incomparable to what it was, making it possible to watch dubbed anime without loosing anything in the experience. The difference is really remarkable. Similarly, subtitles have come a long way. Sure, you still…
Finish Line – Uma Musume Pretty Derby Ep 13 (with Cactus Matt)
Cactus Matt and I wrap up our joint watch of Uma Musume Pretty Derby. Apparently he’s sti talking to me…I’m as amazed as you guys are! Also this week TWIST: I’m in bold! Keeping you guys on your toes.
The ‘Build a Harem’ Tag (or what Irina does with 90% of her time)
I’m sure you’ve all seen this tag already. Cactus Matt created it a few weeks ago but it’s already made the rounds because it’s so much fun!!! And not only does Matt have these great creative ideas all the time, he is an absolute dear who nominated me in the first round. I, on the…
How Class 3E Found Their Pride Again (OWLS Blog Tour)
Can you believe it’s summer already? I mean it was snowing last week and might snow again next week but that’s just how summers work here. It seems like the year is just flying by. Maybe it’s because I have all these great posts to read and as always my OWLS companions are contributing their…
MEGALOBOX Ep 11 – Second Wind
Genre : Cyberpunk, Sports!, action, cool Studio: TMS Entertainment Last episode ended on possibly the best cliffhanger we’ve seen from Megalo box (I’ve been hanging off cliffs all season…) and I was genuinely curious to see what Joe would do. He’s still essentially a brick, by that I mean a narrative foundation with no significant…
A Record of Grancrest War Ep 23 – David and Goliath
Genre : Fantasy, Adventure, action, political Studio: A-1 Pictures I had to actually look up how many episodes A Record of Grancrest War is slotted for because I cannot see how they are going to just wrap things up next week. Admittedly it wouldn’t be out of character for this series to just stop mid…
Remy Teaches Me to Win at Blogging
Irina: It’s me guys! Man I have GOT to figure out how to start posts. It’s getting sad… What was I saying? Nothing, I just started…oh well this is going great… A little while ago, I posted a series of tips about how to write about/review a series or episode, when you don’t really have…
Steins;Gate 0 Ep 10 – Space Time Oddity
I think I may finally have gotten that filler episode I’ve been clamoring for. Steins;Gate 0 took a deep breath this week and just sort of chilled. We didn’t get any major revelations or action sequences, instead the show took a little time to indulge in some silliness, some light-hearted humour and some dubious fan…
Last Minute Schedule Change
Hi, I’m just popping in to let you know that my usual Saturday morning post will be moved to this evening because I have a super fun collaboration planned. I hope you will give it a read and enjoy it. My Steins;Gate post will come out as usual and everything goes back to normal tomorrow….
Getting Ready to Sue – Top 5 Anime Characters That Are Clearly Based on Me
For some time now, I have been living with the uncomfortable reality that my house is clearly bugged and anime producers have been stealing my identity to create their characters…well their less interesting supporting characters….but still. To this day, I have yet to see a penny in residuals.That’s not how residuals work you say? That’s…
Devils and Realist – The Supernatural Shonen-Ai Harem You Didn’t Know You Needed
Genre : Supernatural, comedy, adventure, harem shonen-ai, rainbows, occasional mullets Episodes: 12 Studio: Doga Kobo William Twining is a realist. He has a responsibility to research and understand the world around him through science and reason. As the heir of the prestigious Twining family, he has been gifted with both brains and looks and it would…
Is Binge Eating the New Nose Bleed
I don’t mean that literally. Although it would be hilarious to have a character immediately wolf down everything is sight whenever they find someone attractive! What I mean is, has it replaced the latter as the anime trope standard? It’s been a long time since I’ve seen a good nose bleed gag. I remember the…
Because Sharing is Caring
You guys are starting to know me by now, right? You know that I’m basically a 4-year-old trapped in the body of a…well 12-year-old…and when I get excited about something I have to tell you right away! Well this is what I’m excited about at the moment: A Trust to Follow (Wild Magics Book 1)…
