To Your Eternity 2 ep. 19- Victory

Posted on March 11, 2023March 11, 2023 by Irina

There’s a basic formula that’s been used in dramas since the dawn of time. It probably has a name but I just call it “darkest before the dawn”. That’s when the narrative really lays on the despair and angst super thick right before giving our heroes some type of glorious victory. Basically, it’s exactly what…

What Your Top 5 List Says About You

Posted on March 10, 2023February 10, 2023 by Irina

I’ve been doing these top 5 lists for a little while now, and you know, they really don’t get enough credit. They are a lot harder to put together than people think. Just like any other type of post, you’ll get a wide range of quality out there, with some lists being barely a few…

Penguindrum – One by One The Penguins Steal My Sanity

Posted on March 9, 2023February 10, 2023 by Irina

Genre: Beautifully undefinable Episodes: 24 Studio: Brain’s Base I don’t know what a Penguindrum is. Not exactly. We’re never told in clear terms. That’s the type of story this is. A lot of it is up to you. It’s not the type of story that lends itself well to a summary. It’s not that clear…

A Few Ways Colour is Used in Anime

Posted on March 8, 2023February 10, 2023 by Irina

Not so long ago I had a reader comment that no one really cares about colour in anime unless it’s extreme. Like in NGNL or Great Pretender (which has not yet been released here so I can’t tell just how extreme it is). I’m paraphrasing. Now this is an awesome person whose opinion I really…

Vampire in the Garden – It’s A Miss For Me

Posted on March 7, 2023March 2, 2023 by Irina

The world ended…again. Ok not completely, the planet is still there and there are a few humans but those humans aren’t very happy. And they certainly aren’t living in the lap of luxury. Trapped in an endless war for survival, trying to scrape by. There are also a lot of vampires around but they’re not…

ZOM 100 – Manga First Impression

Posted on March 6, 2023February 10, 2023 by Irina

ZOM 100 was kind of a wild ride but I think that’s exactly what it wanted to be! Ok so on a whim a few months ago I decided to just buy a bunch of volume 1 manga that I didn’t know anything about and figured if I found something I liked I would continue…

Play It Cool, Guys – episodes 20

Posted on March 5, 2023March 3, 2023 by Irina

Last week I said that Mima was my favourite and now I get a Mima episode! I’m not sure how many people are watching Play it Cool Guys. I hope it’s a few because it is one of the most relaxing anime experiences I have had. In any case, it seems like the producers have…

Bungo Stray Dogs 4 ep. 46 – War

Posted on March 5, 2023March 3, 2023 by Irina

I told you right? I told you you would love Yosano even more once you saw. Is it just me? Am I the only one that finds this particular backstory just tremendous? Not only did I find it one of the more genuinely emotionally devastating tales but also it weaves in so well with the…

Tsurune 2 Episode 9 -Coach

Posted on March 4, 2023March 2, 2023 by Irina

Man, they sure are going all out in developing the Tsujimine team. I am not complaining…at least not yet. It’s going to be very difficult to root for any one school at nationals though. I wonder if they’ll do that cop-out that Sports! anime sometimes resort to and have a completely different school we’ve never…

To Your Eternity 2 ep. 18- Whaaa

Posted on March 4, 2023March 2, 2023 by Irina

Remember when I started doing episode reviews cause I figured they would be nice short posts I could just get out in a couple of minutes? No? Yeah, me neither…. Admittedly, I don’t pick series that are very easy to review in just a few words. So that’s on me. To Your Eternity has a…

Top 5 Characters I Like That Are Horrible People

Posted on March 3, 2023February 10, 2023 by Irina

I am well aware that I have terrible terrible TERRIBLE tastes in anime um…friends…Wait no I don’t mean you guys. I mean the anime characters I like are just not that great. Sure, I love a good hero but my head always turns for a great villain. Or a troll. I can’t seem to resist…

The Importance of Relatability in Anime for Me as Seen Through My Appreciations of Sound Euphonium and Free

Posted on March 2, 2023February 10, 2023 by Irina

Character relatability in anime is sort of an awkward concept. When people talk about a character being relatable, it often means that character reminds them of themselves but not necessarily of how they actually are, but of how they see themselves. Thank goodness, cause a whole bunch of anime characters are really wackadoodle and it…

Gurren Lagann – Beauty in the Breakdown

Posted on March 1, 2023February 10, 2023 by Irina

Genre:  Science fiction, mecha, action, adventure, heartbreak in the best way Episodes: 27 Studio: Gainax I don’t know if I can do this one. I finished Gurren Lagann last night and it broke my heart in that delicate and pretty way only the right show at the right time can do. I’m grateful for it….

Reinserting Fun in my Anime Watching

Posted on February 28, 2023February 10, 2023 by Irina

For newer fans and some older fans as well, it’s difficult to imagine how someone’s passion for anime could ever fade. How could anyone get fed up with anime – there’s an unlimited amount and it’s entirely made up of cool… I feel you. It has been my entertainment of choice for years now and…

Utsubora Manga Review

Posted on February 27, 2023February 10, 2023 by Irina

I’ve been collecting manga for a little while now and I do enjoy it a lot. In an effort to branch out and maybe discover something I wouldn’t have otherwise, I asked for manga suggestions on Twitter and got a bunch back. It’s how I discovered Blank Canvas which I really dig. Among the people…
