Hi, everyone! I don’t think I’ve ever felt nervous while writing something before. I think what makes this different is I’m introducing myself to a crowd – something that has always terrified me. Not because I’m scared of crowds or stage fright, but it’s more on the fear of not being interesting enough. Am I…

Pride and Anime
I celebrate pride. Whenever not in quarantine, I go to the parades and take part in the festivities. When I was younger I went to a lot of marches. Montreal is pretty good with gay rights so there haven’t been that many here but there are still causes. However, I have never really celebrated Pride…

Greetings, this is Dawnstorm, who has no blog of his own and thus borrows the gracious Irina’s space, time and workforce for a post of my own. Now, while I do not have a blog of my own, I do inhabit the comments sections of a few blogs, and my comments can be… long. I…
That Blue Sky Feeling – Manga Review
Once again I’m doing a full series review instead of just a first impression. I read the sample chapter of That Blue Sky Feeling on Viz’s site and I liked it enough to get two volumes. Then I found out the entire series is 3 volumes so I thought: Why Not! That’s not true, I…
Pretty Boy Detective Club ep9 – Choir Contest
Well I’m stumped. I thought I liked this episode of Pretty Boy Detective club less than previous ones. I’m pretty sure I did. Yet I finished it a few minutes ago and now feel great. Like happy and in a good mood. And I know the two are related. I just don’t know how to…
Shadows House episode 9 – Reunion
I’m still having a grand time watching Shadows Hose. It has been a lovely series and is fairing quite well in what has been a really good season of anime for me. Next season is looking pretty great too. I’ve already picked out my weekend review shows. Well I’m hesitating between a couple to be…
How Not to Summon a Demon Lord Ω Ep 9 – May God Have Mercy on Us All
Well, this was the penultimate episode of How Not to Summon a Demon Lord Ω. I’m not going to say this season ruined the show for me. Like I might watch another season if one comes out. But It wasn’t a great season by any means. And one more episode isn’t going to change that….
To Your Eternity ep. 8 – Freaks

Top 5 Animes I’ve Grown to Appreciate
Let’s start off 2019 with something positive. I’m not too proud to admit that my first impressions can occasionally be a bit, harsh. Not wrong mind you, just possibly fail to take certain things into account. And so, I do occasionally change my mind about shows after a little time has gone by. In this…

Blog Growth, the Eternal Struggle
I occasionally get asked for blogging advice, as I assume you all do, and I do my best to answer even though I’m still a rank amateur, albeit a veteran one. By far the most common question I get is how do you reach more people/get more followers? I’ve also noticed a trend in the…

Inside Mari – 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 many 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…
