How’s that for an anime top list subject? Super weird? I agree! I have no clue what came over me for this one. I was just sort of thinking about character types we don’t see that often in anime and decided we don’t see many nuns so why not make a list of them. Then…

My Blog Search Criteria are Bumming me Out
Every year I write a post that goes over my blog searches for the year. That is the searches that have led people to finding my blog as far as I can tell. It’s usually a funny little post that leaves me amused and baffled. If you are interested, you can find the past years…
Writing in Buses
Those of you who were around before 2020… 2020d all over us, might remember me mentioning that I take public transit to work and it’s where I do most of my writing. A long time ago I decided to stop taking my car to work for several reasons and started taking the bus instead. Unfortunately,…

I am having a great time reviewing this show with Scott. Please go read out post on his site: Hi Irina. I hope that your week has been ok. I’ve had a little bit of a slower and yet busier one somehow? It all started with a booster shot which put me a little bit…
No. 5 – Manga First Impression
I really like science fiction and I don’t think I own any manga that qualifies as that. I guess Dark Dai is a comedy, horror, science fiction but that’s as close as it gets for me. I was hoping that No.5 would open up a whole new genre to explore. I guess I could always…
Demon Slayer Entertainment District Arc Episode 7 – Crying Demons
In Demon Slayer Entertainment District Arc episode 7, “Transformation,” Nezuko’s confrontation with Warabihime/Daki seems to be a draw. Although Nezuko winning this fight might mean her losing something a lot more precious. But thankfully her brother is there for her. Meanwhile, Uzui finally catches up with them. It seems that there’s more than just flash…
My Dress-Up Darling ep2 – Flushed
This time I watched episode 2 of My Dress-Up Darling pretty much as it aired. So I don’t know what my fellow bloggers think about it. I do know that those who thought there was a bit too much fanservice in episode 1 probably weren’t that crazy about it. I liked this episode though. In…
The Case Study of Vanitas ep.13 – Winter is Come
The Case Study of Vanitas is back for its second cour and I couldn’t be happier. I think this should make you happy as well because if it wasn’t, I would just have a Platinum End post on Saturdays and that just won’t do! I might as well come clean. This episode thrilled me. I’m…
Platinum End ep 14- Tedious
Here’s the good news. I’m pretty sure there’s no place for Platinum End to go but up. Because this episode was the worst one yet. Well at least for me. The first few minutes were fine but like 80% was just plain tedious. I was actually wishing for characters to die just so the episode…
Top 5 Anime Characters Who Are Always Broke
OK, full disclosure. I got the idea for a list of anime characters who are always broke a while ago and just wrote it down in my drafts as a post to eventually get to without thinking it through too much. When I actually got around to writing it though, I realized there are soooo…
Anime Fans are Murderers?
I had a very difficult time coming up with a title for this post. Let me start off by saying I don’t think anime fans are murderers. So I click baited you. Sorry about that. But I am going to talk to you about the fact that I heard someone imply that anime fans are…

Scott and I collaborated last season on an AMAIM seasonal review, which we will pick up as soon as the second cour airs. However, Scott mentioned that he was enjoying our collab so I pounced!
