Posted on October 12, 2017April 13, 2019 by Irina

How Did This Even Happen – Thank You!

Posted on October 7, 2017October 7, 2017 by Irina

To Ship or Not to Ship – That is the Discussion [A Collaborative Editorial] (Part 1)

Posted on October 4, 2017May 23, 2018 by Irina

Irina: Pretty much every anime fan out there is familiar with the concept of shipping. Essentially, it’s a double-edged sword. When done right, it could constitute a wonderful story on its own. When done wrong, however, the aforementioned story is comparable to the creepy book your least favorite teacher has carried around for months on…

Miyuki Kazua Ace of Diamond

Megane Day – Miyuki Kazua

Posted on October 1, 2017May 23, 2018 by Irina

For my contribution to Megane day, I decided to pick Miyuki Kazua from Ace of Diamond, partly because I feel like that show doesn’t get enough love and I want another season. I will be thrilled if I’m wrong and there are dozens of other posts just like mine. But more importantly I picked Miyuki…
