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…
Genre : Sports, Slice of Life, Comedy Episodes: 12 Studio: TMS Entertainment Hane is a high school girl you’ve known – I mean as long as you’ve known some impressively stupid high school girls. I have! Hane gets by in her school life without too much problems except her daily commute, which she considers her life greatest…
So we start to delve into the chimera ant arc. This was a game changer on many levels and I am quite sure I will not do it justice. Even a question so superficial sounding as favorite ant has a lot of implications but I will try my best to soldier on (get it?)
Genre : Supernatural, Slice of life, Action(?), drama Episodes: 13 Studio: Brain’s Base Natsume is finally starting to feel at home. The Fujiwaras have been so warm and welcoming and everyone at school is so kind. For the very first time Natsume has both friends and a family but how long will the good days last….
Let me be straight with you guys, this is my fifth attempt at writing this post. It’s an important subject and I wanted to get it right. At first, I figured I would avoid anything that could be considered “controversial” or “divisive” and ended up stripping away anything even remotely close to insightful or interesting….
Genre : Action, Shounen Episodes: 13 Studio: Bones In a world where superpowers have become every day and supervillains run amok, one man stands for Justice and Order against the forces of evil! But soon, the time will come for him to pass the mantle. Now a young new hero rises, struggling to prove himself worthy…
I always pick gifs where the characters are smiling because I’m basic that way. I thought I would try something different here but it may have ended up a bit too melancholy. It is a nice gif though and shows Soul’s deeper nature. Also I like to imagine that’s a Mimosa.
Genre : Magical Girl, Action, Sci-Fi, Dystopian Episodes: 12 Studio: Studio Gokumi Yuki Yuna is a hero. Ok, so the title isn’t really that hard to get. All the other girls in the club are also heroes, but the Sanshu Middle School Hero Club does in fact try to help anyone who requests it and for free at…
Is It Wrong To Try To Pick Up Girls In A Dungeon? Genre : Adventure, Fantasy Episodes: 13 Studio: J.C.Staff Poor Hestia, things are looking rough. She’s not exactly the most renown goddess around. Her shrine is in disrepair, other goddesses snicker behind her back and her familia is down to a single member. But that’s…
There are a LOT of favorites on this list. Hunter x Hunter has roughly a gadgillion characters and I’m not entirely sure which ones can be called “supporting” so I’m just going to assume it means anyone who’s not part of the fab four. How did you find HxH? Favorite main character Favorite supporting character…
Lately I’ve noticed sort of a trend when writing my posts. Quite a few of them can be summed up as: I know this is a bad show but I kinda liked it… And you have to figure that after watching anime for so many years, I should’ve started to pick up on a thing…
Genre: Sports, Drama Episodes: 12 Studio: Brain’s Base Haru hates Judo. Ok that’s not really true but he’s not good at it. Well that’s not fair either, he’s actually decent but he’s nowhere as good as his big sister and he’s just not enjoying it that much, even without taking into account his injured shoulder….
Just like every other person in the world, I recently finished playing Dream Daddy and it got me thinking about dads in general. I’ve mentioned before that I have a soft spot for father characters in anime, especially good dads, and since I don’t have the patience to wait until June 17, 2018 (that’s father’s day here),…
Genre: Romance(?), drama, harem, school Episodes: 12 Studio: TNK Makoto is an ordinary high school student with an ordinary high school student crush on the hot girl he sees on the bus, Kotonoha. Like most ordinary high school boys he clumsily attempts to get to know her and maybe even get her to like him, and…
Honestly – why didn’t I think of this earlier… Whether sloppy lightweight or hard drinking party animal, liquor loving characters are often used to inject some fun loving life into a story. They remind us to enjoy the good times through slurred speeches and stumbling walks. It should be noted that I am using the…
