I Have An Idea for a Provisional Scanslation Licence

Posted on February 15, 2023February 10, 2023 by Irina

What a boring title. And this is going to be a bit of a boring post. I’m mostly going to talk about copyright and theoretical licensing rights so you know, feel free to skip this one if you’re already dozing off. But for all you intellectual property nerds out there, let me tell you about…

Osamu and all of team Tamakoma are getting closer to being part of the away team but their hardest challenges are yet to come. The last leg of the rank wars is now underway and Osamu, Yuma, and Chika are going up against seasoned veterans with years of experience and stockpiles of trion. This is…

Dead Dead Demon’s DeDeDeDe Destruction – Manga first impression

Posted on February 13, 2023February 10, 2023 by Irina

So lately I’ve been ordering a lot of manga. I’m in the mood to discover my next big manga love story. I’ve also not been reading as much webcomics. At least not family-friendly ones. As such, I figured I would switch my webtoon recommendations for manga first impressions until I build up a nice stock…

Play It Cool, Guys – episode 16

Posted on February 12, 2023February 10, 2023 by Irina

Sea urchin cat was the cutest. I want one like that now! And it’s such a quintessential cat thing to do. Ball up until you’re nothing but a big sphere. Even the relatively simple animation of Play it Cool, Guys captured it perfectly!

Bungo Stray Dogs 4 ep. 43 – The Fall

Posted on February 12, 2023February 9, 2023 by Irina

I’m not going to like the next few episodes of Bungo Stray Dogs. I didn’t particularly llike this one either. Not as in I didn’t think it was a good episode or anything. But things are starting to look rough for the Agency and I don’t think I’m spoiling much by saying it’s going to…

Tsurune 2 Episode 6 -Be Careful What You Wished For

Posted on February 11, 2023February 11, 2023 by Irina

As soon as the girls mentioned entering a Kyoudo competition themselves as a three-person team, I got very excited. Tsurune is a fairly rare Sports anime in that not only are there female characters with talking parts who aren’t managers and/or potential love interests but actual competitors with their own arcs. Nevertheless, the girls’ characterization…

To Your Eternity 2 ep. 15- Battle

Posted on February 11, 2023February 7, 2023 by Irina

They are really stretching out Fushi and March’s eventual reunion. And I understand why. The inherent tension in the very idea of it is enough to keep me hooked for the next few episodes. I wonder if there’s a reason we haven’t heard March talk yet. We know that she did from the folks that…

Top 5 Anime Characters Who Are Also Weapons

Posted on February 10, 2023February 5, 2023 by Irina

I don’t mean this in a deep way. I’m not going to talk about characters that could destroy us all because of the interplay of their morality and intelligence or how layers of trauma and experience can come together to create figurative monsters. I’m not even talking about anime characters with superpowers that could g…

Natsume Yuujinchou: Ishi Okoshi to Ayashiki Raihousha

Posted on February 9, 2023February 5, 2023 by Irina

Natsume is a young man who exists in liminality. He’s no longer a child and not an adult yet. He is an orphan but is building a found family. He lives among humans but talks to yokai. Natsume is a young man who walks paths that most of us will never be able to see….

Psycho Pass anime review

Anime propaganda Psycho-Pass and Cool Japan

Posted on February 8, 2023January 27, 2023 by Irina

A little while ago I read an article that said that China was trying to ban all Japanese animation. This proved unpopular and not particularly sustainable. Of course, young Chinese kids watch anime legally or not, online, and the effort to police that is substantial. However, the initiative still does exist and to some degree…

Raven of the Inner Palace

Posted on February 7, 2023February 3, 2023 by Irina

Deep in the inner palace, there lives a consort known as the Raven Consort. She holds a special position, and despite her “consort” title, she does not perform night-time duties. Though she lives there, it is said that she can perform mysterious arts and even gain some friends along the way, but she has no…

The Solitary Castle in the Mirror – Manga First Impression

Posted on February 6, 2023January 27, 2023 by Irina

Once you decide that fan translations are ok, it’s difficult to stop. Yup, The Solitary Castle in the Mirror is another manga that hasn’t quite been officially licensed yet. It’s actually based on a novel that might have an official translation. I’m afraid I didn’t do my homework there. The original title is Kagami no…

Play It Cool, Guys – episode 16

Posted on February 5, 2023February 2, 2023 by Irina

For some reason, and I really couldn’t tell you why, I particularly remeber this episode from the manga. It stood out in my head way more than most of what’s happened up until now. This might be because I am both a huge fan of umbrellas and a notorious loser of umbrellas. Loser of Umbrellas…

Bungo Stray Dogs 4 ep. 42 – The Rise of the Angels

Posted on February 5, 2023February 2, 2023 by Irina

Sorry guys, no avatar cosplay today. I’m having a pretty rough week and it’s all I can do to just keep up with episode reviews. I know a lot of you guys are really sweet so don’t worry, I’m fine. I just have a few work issues to sort out and it’s a bit of…

Tsurune 2 Episode 5 -Clean Release

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

I went through a lot of emotions watching this episode of Tsurune. I guess the guys did as well but my set of emotions was completely different. For the first half, I thought that they might be going back to a much more drama-focused series and I was a bit worried. But everything got solved…
