Visual Novels I Would Like to See as Anime

Posted on September 27, 2017May 23, 2018 by Irina

I was trying to put together a post on Fate/Stay Night and went on a rambling sideline about what makes for a good visual novel adaptation. You should stick to a single path rather than try to incorporate all routes in a single narrative. If you start from X-rated material and you want to take…

Posted on September 25, 2017September 9, 2017 by Irina

In defense of clichés

Posted on September 24, 2017July 29, 2018 by Irina

Welcome to another instalment of Irina defends things that don’t need defending. I find myself frequently commenting on the benefits of stereotypes. I understand that lack of novelty is a common complaint and that calling a show/character/premise “cliché” is an easy criticism to lob at a show we don’t have much to say about. It’s…

Friday Hunt – Hunter X Hunter challenge week 4

Posted on September 22, 2017May 23, 2018 by Irina

So we start to delve into the chimera ant arc. This was a game changer on many levels and I am quite sure I will not do it justice. Even a question so superficial sounding as favorite ant has a lot of implications but I will try my best to soldier on (get it?)

5 ways in which anime is more feminist than it gets credit for OR Irina has no clue what she’s talking about.

Posted on September 20, 2017May 23, 2018 by Irina

Let me be straight with you guys, this is my fifth attempt at writing this post. It’s an important subject and I wanted to get it right. At first, I figured I would avoid anything that could be considered “controversial” or “divisive” and ended up stripping away anything even remotely close to insightful or interesting….

Soul Eatin Mondays – week 3

Posted on September 18, 2017May 23, 2018 by Irina

I always pick gifs where the characters are smiling because I’m basic that way. I thought I would try something different here but it may have ended up a bit too melancholy. It is a nice gif though and shows Soul’s deeper nature. Also I like to imagine that’s a Mimosa.

Friday Hunt – Hunter X Hunter challenge week 3

Posted on September 15, 2017May 21, 2018 by Irina

There are a LOT of favorites on this list. Hunter x Hunter has roughly a gadgillion characters and I’m not entirely sure which ones can be called “supporting” so I’m just going to assume it means anyone who’s not part of the fab four. How did you find HxH? Favorite main character Favorite supporting character…

Why I Keep Watching Bad Anime – A Defensive Diatribe

Posted on September 14, 2017May 21, 2018 by Irina

Lately I’ve noticed sort of a trend when writing my posts. Quite a few of them can be summed up as: I know this is a bad show but I kinda liked it… And you have to figure that after watching anime for so many years, I should’ve started to pick up on a thing…
