The Importance of Relatability in Anime for Me as Seen Through My Appreciations of Sound Euphonium and Free

Posted on September 23, 2020September 23, 2020 by Irina

Character relatability in anime is sort of an awkward concept. When people talk about a character being relatable, it often means that character reminds them of themselves but not necessarily of how they actually are, but of how they see themselves. Thank goodness, cause a whole bunch of anime characters are really wackadoodle and it…

The God of Highschool ep. 12 – Losers

Posted on September 22, 2020September 22, 2020 by Irina

You guys all know what the expression “jumping the shark means”, don’t you? You know what, just in case I’ll sum it up for you. It when something, usually a so, that use to be very popular attempts some type of crazy gimmick to get the audience back and it just makes it super obvious…

Why do I Watch Anime?

Posted on September 21, 2020September 12, 2020 by Irina

I think I’ve written at least half a dozen variations on why I started to blog about anime but I’ve never really tackled the question of why I watch anime in the first place. Not really. I’ve spoken about certain elements I like about the medium but never in great detail. There’s a reason for…

Fire Force 2 Episode 12 – Beni-J

Posted on September 20, 2020September 18, 2020 by Irina

Whelp, I was wrong. Last week was not my favourite episode of Fire Force. This show has really been on a roll for me. And If I’m to really be honest It has been since about the halfway mark of season 1. And actually, the first few episodes were fantastic as well All in all,…

Re:Zero 2 episode 11 (36) – Fridge Horror

Posted on September 19, 2020September 17, 2020 by Irina

I’m not sure how I’m going to go about this one. I have very mixed feelings about this episode. Not very strong feelings mind you. I started out not liking it. I know the fans of this series are pretty protective and I’m bound to get a comment or two. That’s fine, it’s all good…

Top 5 Short Anime

Posted on September 18, 2020September 12, 2020 by Irina

When you have the attention span of a drunken gerbil. What a weird way of stating it. Can gerbils even get drunk? I’m gonna look it up. Back. I don’t know the answer but do you guys think I should get a gerbil? They’re really cute. Not as cute as baby porcupines OR baby sloths….

Anime Characters that Only Work on Paper

Posted on September 17, 2020September 17, 2020 by Irina

I have been watching an anime recently and thinking to myself, this would be great if it weren’t for the characters… Le sigh… That’s not exactly a flaw that’s easy to sweep under the rug. It reminded me of Demon Slayer. Not that the animes have anything in common. However, if I remember well, most…

The God of Highschool ep. 11 – Keychain

Posted on September 15, 2020September 14, 2020 by Irina

You know how I wasted the two or three first paragraphs last week whining about block editor. Well Im over it now. It’s not that bad. Man I’m fickle! I am pretty much resigned to the fact that The God of Highschool will not complete it’s narrative this season. Well, I was pretty much resigned…

Fire Force 2 Episode 11 – Wild Card

Posted on September 13, 2020September 13, 2020 by Irina

I’m not going to play coy with you guys. This episode is one of my favourite Fire Force episodes to date. Both seasons included. And that’s saying something. Especially hen you consider that my favourite dork had no role to play in it at all. This week we saw the return or rise of some…

Re:Zero 2 episode 10 (35) – Re:Gallery

Posted on September 12, 2020September 12, 2020 by Irina

Ok, so I’ve now spent two days struggling with the new editor. In my opinion, it’s not as bad as people make it out to be. In fact, once I get to know it better, I’m sure I’ll like it. However, there are a few very useful functionalities that were lost and I really don’t…

Top 5 Anime Schools I Would Never Want to Attend

Posted on September 11, 2020August 7, 2020 by Irina

So I guess these are more like bottom 5 schools. But that ruins the flow of my Top Five Fridays… Just humour me! I’m sure we have all wished we could attend an anime school at some point. So many seem beautiful and bright, surrounded by lush flowers grown by the botany club and filled…

Are Pink Haired Anime Girls Either Airheads or Evil ?

Posted on September 9, 2020September 9, 2020 by Irina

This is not a serious post you guys. Don’t get upset and start valiantly protecting your favourite pink-haired waifu or anything. I quite like pink-haired girls both in and out of anime myself. But I had this random thought and I wanted to share it. I once wrote a weird and very silly post about…
