Spy x Family episode 3 – Family Ooting

Posted on April 24, 2022April 30, 2022 by Irina

I’m seeing some early whispers about Spy x Family being anime of the year. That’s an ambitious cal to make in the spring season with only 3 episodes out but I get it. These have been 3 really great episodes! I had actually forgotten about the great ooting, although I did remember their little superhero…

Hello everyone, I hope you had a happy Easter! I ate a lot of chocolate!  I hope you had a happy Easter as well, Scott. Did you do anything special? And how was your week in general? Oh, my week and weekend was pretty great. I did the silly thing of going to Seattle for…

Tomodachi Game ep 3 – Pants on Fire

Posted on April 23, 2022April 19, 2022 by Irina

The dialogue in Tomodachi Game, you guys… It’s not getting better. Arguably, it might be getting worse. And I’m a little annoyed about it. I’m not annoyed that there’s a badly written anime. If I got annoyed every time that happened, I would have very little time in my life to feel anything else than…

Guest Post: Vagabond: probably Takehiko Inoue’s best work

Posted on April 22, 2022April 18, 2022 by Irina

(“The reason for portraying shadows is to depict light.”) –This is a story of redemption and self-redemption. Before writing this review of Vagabond, I gave it a lot of consideration. This piece is simply too unique. To be honest, this is the only manga review I’ve ever written that doesn’t have an over-the-top narrative or…

The Joys and Struggles of Episodic Reviews

Posted on April 21, 2022April 21, 2022 by Irina

I have now been reviewing some shows on an episode by episode basis for weeks, WEEKS, so I’m fairly sure I now know everything there is to know about this particular process. I’ve thought about the differences of these types of posts as opposed to full series reviews and I figured those of you who…

The Secret to my Creativity is…Boredom?

Posted on April 19, 2022April 12, 2022 by Irina

This probably isn’t that uncommon. I’m sure a lot of people come up with interesting art because they are bored. However, these days I have had such a perfect illustration of how this applies to me and I’m very surprised. Let me share my experience.

Boukyaku no Sachiko (A Meal Makes Her Forget) – Manga First Impression

Posted on April 18, 2022January 14, 2022 by Irina

For some reason, I suddenly decided that I wanted to read manga that had food as a strong theme. I’m not sure why, I was just in that sort of mood. So I went through AniList and looked up manga that had Fodd as a tag and for the most part, I was rewarded. It’s…

AMAIM Warrior at the Borderline EP 14: Ominous Beginning — Mechanical Anime Reviews

Spy x Family episode 2 – Found Family

Posted on April 17, 2022April 30, 2022 by Irina

I am particularly observant and in the know when it comes to the anime community, that’s why I think that the first episode of Spy x Family was received fairly well. That’s just the impression that I got, don’t quote me on it. So will episode 2 live up to the standard set by the…

Tomodachi Game ep 2 – Love Square

Posted on April 16, 2022April 12, 2022 by Irina

I’m still fairly ambivalent about Tomodachi Game. I have definitely watched and reviewed shows I have enjoyed less than this but I can’t say it’s a great show either. It does have the potential to get interesting or to go completely down the drain. However, as I’m otherwise having a great anime season, I figure…

Who Wants Anime Perfumes?

Posted on April 14, 2022April 14, 2022 by Irina

And the answer is me! Wait, that’s not the whole post. I do actually have something I want to talk about. I think. Let’s hope I manage to get my thoughts together. Let’s start at the beginning. I follow a bunch of Nyanko Twitter accounts because of course I do. These accounts are in Japanese…

Shusei Kagari Psycho Pass anime

The tragedy of Shusei Kagari

Posted on April 13, 2022April 13, 2022 by Irina

Psycho Pass is a fantastic show with an extraordinary cast who probably each deserve their own page but I always had a huge soft spot for Kagari and I really feel he doesn’t get enough love. First a rant: Kogami and Kagari are very similar sounding names and it’s kinda mean on the part of…
