Existential Drift in Anime

Posted on September 8, 2022July 15, 2022 by Irina

I first published this post years ago but I thought I would give it another chance to get read. I don’t know if the expression “existential drift” actually exists. Ha! (Cause existential…never mind…) I think I made it up but I not infrequently think I’ve coined a new term or expression just to realize it’s…

Can’t Stop Cursing You (manga first impression)

Posted on September 5, 2022September 6, 2022 by Irina

Unlike anime, I don’t review every manga I read. So you probably won’t know that I actually have been reading a series of gloomier, macabre and gorey manga lately. I think I Can’t Stop Cursing You is the only one I’m going to review though. If you want to know why you need to read…

Shadows House 2 episode 9 – Invitation

Posted on September 4, 2022September 5, 2022 by Irina

I was ok with Maryrose’s reasoning or motivations to have a few holes in it. In fact, I mentioned last week that her way of going about things was a bit dubious when you sit down and really think about it. But it didn’t bother me. For me, Shadows House is fun and stylish enough…

The Devil is a Part-Timer! 2 Episode 8 – Mini Review

Posted on September 3, 2022September 5, 2022 by Irina

I always wanted to try out the 100-word review format. actually have technically tried it a few times it’s just that it ended up closer to 500 words somehow. I have to work on being concise. However, I think this episode might be just what I needed to finally succeed!

Top 5 Reverse Harem Anime

Posted on September 2, 2022July 22, 2022 by Irina

Let’s face it if I don’t put together this list no one will! I actually don’t know if that’s true. Whenever I get an idea for a top list I try to avoid looking up others to avoid getting influenced by them. Sometimes it means I actually forget about an anime or character I would…

I’m noticing a new trend in anime ladies, and I like it!

Posted on August 31, 2022July 8, 2022 by Irina

I finished watching Backflip!! not that long ago. It’s June right now. I liked it. Maybe my review for the show is out already! There is one aspect of the show I didn’t talk about it much in that review. It’s not a very important part of the show. It’s about Asawo Kurikoma.

Frieren – Beyond Journey’s End – Manga First Impression

Posted on August 29, 2022July 22, 2022 by Irina

I got infatuated with Frieren, not the character but the manga. Back before it got officially licenced for distribution, it was tentatively called Frieren at the Funeral and I just got completely mesmerized with the title. Frieren Beyond Journey’s End is a very nice title. It’s both fitting and poetic. But there was something about…

Shadows House 2 episode 8 – Morph 

Posted on August 28, 2022August 28, 2022 by Irina

Oh I liked this episode. I really liked this episode. It wasn’t without its flaws mind you. And Shadows House does have a tendency to prioritize style, but what a style it is. I rarely give spoiler warnings on my episode reiews. I think it’s pretty obvious I’m going to talk about the episode. Still,…

Posted on August 27, 2022August 25, 2022 by Irina

A lot of people in my comments seemed to like the manager lady. Ms. Amane… I almost forgot her name and I just finished watching the episode. Not good. Like I was saying, it seems a lot of people liked Amane so there was some excitement about this episode. After all, they were hinting that…
