Welcome to Demon School Iruma Kun 3 – The Tournament Arc

The Masterful Cat Is Depressed Again Today – Episode 10

Posted on September 13, 2023September 11, 2023 by Irina

I have never been on a buddy trip as an adult. I’ve traveled with partners and for work quite a bit. I even took some solo trips here and there, but I have never traveled with friends. And I feel like maybe I’ve missed out. If I were to get just disgustingly sappy, I would…

Bungo Stray Dogs 5 ep. 59 – Consequences

Posted on September 9, 2023September 7, 2023 by Irina

Oh my, things are getting heavy… By Bungo Stray Dog standards at least. And I’m not used to this show being heavy. I’m not sure how to take it. It’s throwing me all out of balance. I kind of love it…

ZOM 100 – Episode 7

Posted on September 7, 2023September 7, 2023 by Irina

My header gif is very subtle this week but I quite like it. Do you? I think it has something comforting about it. I hope I can find a way to reuse it. And because it’s so subtle, it doesn’t take long to load. So yay!

The Masterful Cat Is Depressed Again Today – Episodes 8 & 9

Posted on September 6, 2023September 5, 2023 by Irina

Just as I was rejoicing last week that The Masterful Cat is Depressed Again had taken a week off and I wasn’t too far behind, the show goes and releases two episodes in the same week. I’m not complaining, double the cat, double the fun! Oh but that means too many screencaps again…sowwwwy

In defense of clichés

Posted on September 3, 2023August 13, 2023 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…

Bungo Stray Dogs 5 ep. 56-58 – Fun & Games

Posted on September 2, 2023September 1, 2023 by Irina

This is where I pay for my laziness by having to review three episodes in one post. And not just any three episodes. These babies were jam-packed. I could easily do a long-running post on each one individually and leave half my thoughts out. I’m going to need to discipline myself here or else you,…

ZOM 100 – Episode 6

Posted on August 31, 2023August 31, 2023 by Irina

I now realize that if I hadn’t told you about my little vacation… I might have gotten away with it. Seems like all the anime waited for me and I am grateful! I am a little worried about all the delays in the ZOM 100 production though. They seem to be having a hard time….

The Masterful Cat Is Depressed Again Today – Episode 7

Posted on August 30, 2023August 28, 2023 by Irina

I was on vacation for the past two weeks and although I had every intention of keeping up with my seasonal reviews, I simply couldn’t figure out a way to get the screencaps I wanted where I was or the gifs for the header. I tried to write a BSD review and it just wasn’t…

Wait… There’s Something Called Anime Alienation? Animenation??

Posted on August 29, 2023August 13, 2023 by Irina

Before some of you jump at me, I’m not saying that anything I’m about to discuss is fact or even true. I simply read a thesis that put forth a couple of theories about the rise of anime popularity and how to interpret that in a social context which I thought was interesting. It was…

A Little Bit About The Shinsengumi

Posted on August 28, 2023August 9, 2023 by Irina

If you’ve watched enough anime (or pretty much any historical anime), you’ve most likely encountered the name Shinsengumi. They were a pivotal group in Japanese history and as such remain a popular subject of fiction and cultural fascination. But do you actually know who the Shinsengumi were?

Top 5 strongest elders in anime

Posted on August 25, 2023August 13, 2023 by Irina

Unlike the real world, elders in anime aren’t weak. Especially in shonen anime, old people are often as strong, if not stronger than our protagonist. Honing their skills for ages, makes them masters in their field.“Beware of old men in a profession where young men die.” Article is written by Ganiming (https://ganiming.com), an anime and…
