This is an odd and useless little fact about me but creating that header pic, you know, the one you can’t even see on this post and is only visible on my home page, that useless one, well that’s one of may favourite things to do. I like creating these little header cards in general…
Top 5 Embarrassing Things That Only Happen to Anime Fans (Or Just To Me)
Sometimes I like to pretend that all anime fans are alike and not a diverse group of people with individual tastes and experiences just like everyone else in the world. And of course when I do that, I fancy that the these anime fans are more specifically like me regardless of how much solid evidence…
Can Horror Anime Ever Be As Scary as Live Action?
I think before we start on this one, I’m going to have to define some terms here. Like “horror” or “scary” or “anime”…No wait, I think we all know that last one… O.k. so when I’m talking about horror here, I’m talking about the schlocky jump scare, monster type horror. Not the deep existential stuff….
The Ups and Downs of Watching Popular Anime As They Air
I’ve only recently started watching seasonal anime in simulcast. For one the option hasn’t even been available for that long and for two I generally prefer to soft binge shows. (I’ve coined the term soft binge to mean watching all the episodes more or less in a row over whatever period of time it takes…
Why Watching Anime Makes You More Attractive
It’s a well-known fact that watching even a single episode of anime a day makes you at least 18% all around generally more attractive and the long-term benefits are difficult to overstate. Now, I know what you’re thinking: Everybody already knows this, why is Irina going on about basic facts again??? Well I just thought…
My Next Life as a Villainess: All Routes Lead to Doom! ep 8 – Simple Pleasures
It might actually finally truly be summer here. I get paid by the adverb! But it really is a rather nice weekend. Sunny and bright but not too hot. The type of weekend that makes you want to just be lazy and not do a ton of paperwork. I have a lot of paperwork…
Woodpecker Detective’s Office Ep.6 – Guys and Dolls
I’m on a post naming roll with this show! Ladies and gentlemen for today’s post I will be testing the capabilities of Google docs dictation functionalities while I put together some waffles fresh fruit and very yummy whipped cream for brunch. It looks absolutely fabulous I wish you were here to share it with me….
Tower of God Ep.8 – Blue Turtle Soup
You know how very episode of Tower of God starts off with a repeat of the last few seconds of the previous episode so that the audience can get situated again? Well when my screen showed Anak struggling to free her whip from the ranker’s grip, I suddenly got excited! Like way more excited than…
My Top 5 Anime Libraries
If you read my post on Monday, you pretty much saw the moment inspiration hit for this particular post. I love libraries and bookstores. When I was little, I wanted to live in one when I grew up. I kind of do as I’ve covered my walls in bookcases. But it’s not the same. There’s…
Blogging in Quarantine Times
For context, I’m writing this in the first week of May and I’ve been at home for a couple of months now. I just wanted to have a little record of how this has changed and mostly not changed my blogging experience. I would love to know how it’s been on your end as well.
In Defence of Nitpicking Anime
Once in a while I post random screencaps I have taken, to twitter without context. It’s a fun little game. What can I say, I’m easily entertained! Since I watched Land of the Lustrous recently, I was posting caps from that show and posted one of Cinnabar blushing. This one to be precise: Cute pic!…

Follow up on Writing Blog Comments
I very rarely do follow up posts. More often than not I forget that I have already written about a subject and write a second, different but substantially identical post a few months later. Does that count as a follow up? If it does then I’m an expert on these! This is a follow up…
Woodpecker Detective’s Office Ep.5 – Springtime à la carte
That title is really very tenuously related to the episode. I mean themes of love and longing and young men’s fancies and all but really it’s very different story in a completely different style and setting. I’m still using it as a title. I’ve always quite liked it and if I can encourage one person…
