This week you’re getting two manga posts because I have been reading them too quickly! I might start dropping some in here and there if I horde to many manga posts. 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…
DECA-DENCE – A New Dystopia

She’s going to learn how to fight and protect everyone inside Deca-Dence from those huge monster-like creatures called Gadoll. It doesn’t matter that she lost her arm as a child. It doesn’t matter that she’s grown…
How Lovely Complex’s Seiko Kotobuki made me Rethink Everything
I think it’s safe to say that my blog is not a very serious blog. That’s a cultivated image in fact. I have never tried to make I Drink and Watch Anime any sort of rigorous academic environment. Just reading that sentence is kind of ridiculous. Still, once in a while, I will broach subjects…
Was Angelic Layer inspired by Pokemon?
Titles: Battle Doll Angelic Layer; Kidou Tenshi Angelic Layer Genre: Drama, action, sports(?), school Episodes: 26 Studio: BONES Misaki Suzuhara is discovering a lot of new things.

Phantom Tales of the Night – Manga First Impression
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…
How Not to Summon a Demon Lord Ω Ep 6 — 100 Word Anime
Karandi and I try to figure out what happened to How Not to Summon a Demon Lord. Let’s see if we succeed. Wow, how the mighty have fallen. While How Not To Summon A Demon Lord season 1 was a pleasant surprise that delighted each week, season 2 is becoming something of a chore to…
Pretty Boy Detective Club ep6 – Masterpiece
The actual title of this week’s episode of Pretty Boy Detective Club is The Pretty Boy in the Attic. That’s a great title. It’s super silly and evocative. I would pick up a movie or book called The Pretty Boy in the Attic. But I also wonder if it’s a nod to Edogawa’s Watcher/Stalker/Stroller in…
Shadows House episode 6 – Proposal
Oh boy, oh man, oh my! Things are afoot, plots are thickening but we still don,t have any answers. I love a mystery, so tis works for me. And I feel like the presentation and execution of Shadows House leads me to beleive that the story isn’t just stumblng about blindly and this is all…
Mars Red Episode 6 – Noble Sacrifice
I’m sort of in survival mode right now which is fitting with a show like Mars Red. I know everyone is quite busy at this time of year but it seems like everything is just happening at once. Can’t wait until fall! How about you, Karandi? Things have sort of been more settled for me…
To Your Eternity ep. 5 – Orphan
I don’t know how many of you read the comments on my To Your Eternity posts but I promise I didn’t make this happen. It just a coincidence. I swear! Also, if you didn’t watch episode 5 of To Your Eternity, I’m about to spoil most of it, you have been warned. Heck, I might…
Top 5 Reasons to Read Digital Manga
I am a person who really enjoys physical manga over digital manga. Maybe a bit too much. There’s just something magical about getting my hands on a brand new manga with those beautiful colourful covers. Running my hands along the printed pages and marvelling at them as they line my bookshelves. I think a lot…
What do we owe our readers?
How about our Blog? Do we owe them anything at all??? I should mention I’m not talking about people who have patrons. That’s a different relationship and if you have patrons, you probably owe them whatever you promised on your Patreon page. But I have often talked about the general “bloggers guilt” many people experience….
Toilet-bound Hanako-kun – Call me, Megumi Ogata!
Titles: Jibaku Shounen Hanako-kun Genre: Comedy, drama, mystery, supernatural, romance, psychological, pretty colours Episodes: 12 Studio: Production Lerche Do you remember how we got obsessed with silly little things in high school? Everything was the most important thing ever. And we wanted things like our lives depended on it. It makes for some fantastic highs…
Most Popular Anime by Year of Release
This might be an odd post but I actually had a great time putting it together! Nostalgia does weird things to us. For instance, it can make us think that everything was better “before”. Like anime! And I’m not entirely sure that’s true. A lot of my favourite series are relatively new (as in they…
