I Don’t Understand the 3 Episode Rule

Posted on November 24, 2018November 4, 2018 by Irina

There’s no old maxim in the anime community that it takes a full 3 episodes to be able to truly appreciate a show and determine if it’s worth your time. Or 25% of a single cour season. I’m not sure if this rule applies to other forms of media or not but I’ve only heard…

How To Review Any Anime Without Watching It!

Posted on November 20, 2018November 4, 2018 by Irina

Man watching anime takes a lot of time. Have you seen some peoples MAL profiles…they spend YEARS doing it. Who has that type of leisure? Certainly not YOU! We’re busy people, we got….stuff to do. On top of that watching and even occasionally writing about anime, impossible! Imagine how much you could get done if…

The Importance of Writing Skills in Blogging

Posted on November 8, 2018October 28, 2018 by Irina

Look, it’s no secret that typo is my mother tongue. I’m sort of amazed that anyone can follow my posts. (Please don’t burst my bubble if you have never understood what I’m talking about. Le me just pretend….) Despite this, I have presumed to write several posts on the art of blog writing. Yup actual…

Black Butlers and Red Madams (Countdown to Halloween)

Posted on October 29, 2018October 18, 2018 by Irina

I figured an actual classic horror monster would be a great pick this week! How have I avoided Black Butler in this series so far? I am the derp. Clearly, it’s the perfect series to find fun ill fated characters with interesting quirks. As much as I would love to subject you all to a detailed and…

Hello everyone. You may remember a while ago I had the pleasure of creating a top 5 collab with the wonderful Jordanne. She is truly a wellspring of creativity so when she suggested a further collab I was genuinely excited! Now the subject here may be a little delicate so I am going to reuse…

Top 5 Anime Families I Would Like To Get Adopted Into

Posted on October 19, 2018September 30, 2018 by Irina

I wrote a super confusing list called top 5 members of my anime family an in the process, quite figuratively, I tripped over the idea for this list. By and large top lists tend to be highly subjective however this one will be even more than usual. Today I don’t plan to talk about the…

Asking for Trouble; My Observations on Cute Girls and Cute Boys

Posted on October 4, 2018October 4, 2018 by Irina

In my time I’ve watched a few CGDCT shows as well as their Cute Boy counterparts and I find the comparisons between the two amusing and occasionally eye opening. I’m not sure how many of you routinely watch both genres. I was curious to see if those that do noticed the same things as me….

In Defense of Haters

Posted on July 25, 2018August 21, 2020 by Irina

I’ve gone from defending things that need absolutely no defense as everybody loves them already, to defending things I probably shouldn’t be defending at all. Not sure which is better to be perfectly honest. Lately, I’ve been hearing a lot about (and from) “Haters”. You may be thinking to yourself right about now – welcome…

Tell Me I’m Good

Posted on June 2, 2018June 2, 2018 by Irina

This is a little embarrassing to talk about, so don’t tell anyone ok? Sometimes, not that often but still, I seek validation through my blog. Like when I’m having a really cr*ppy day and everything is going wrong, I find comfort in a supportive comment even if I’m not sure how sincere it is at…

In Defense of Elitist Jerks

Posted on May 29, 2018May 29, 2018 by Irina

So far, I’ve been sticking to defending things that absolutely no one is attacking, making for a fairly successful and easy run. The importance of choosing your battles! But this time, I may have bitten off more than I can chew.

I Promise I’ll Be Quiet After This

Posted on February 5, 2018February 5, 2018 by Irina

About two months ago, a group of talented bloggers and all around great people gave me the chance to try something I had never done before. As a short reminder, my truly lovely Inomminate castmates are Shoujo, Leth, Scott, Hazelyn  & Remy, who I will never be able to really describe in how great they…

The Many Sides of the Monetization Coin

Posted on January 24, 2018January 24, 2018 by Irina

Right now, I’m involved in an ongoing Kaizen at work. Basically, my input is required to restructure our entire office procedures and set up, plus my usual responsibilities to my clients. This has been a time-consuming venture of debatable value, that has left me much less time than usual to write posts. Almost no time…

Stats I’ll Show You Mine If You Show Me Yours

Posted on January 16, 2018January 16, 2018 by Irina

I love stats. It’s already been properly established that I am essentially the personification of cool, so naturally statistical analysis and data mining are my jam. People, put your clothes back on. I understand it’s hard to control yourselves right now but you must try! I’ve seen a lot of you share your blog stats…

Anime Seasonals 2018 – The Winter Games! (Updated Round 6)

Posted on January 14, 2018April 1, 2018 by Irina

Bragging time! I have actually spoken with The Pantless Anime Blogger. I make it a personal point to becomes friends with anyone who advertises as “pantless” so you can imagine how excited I am about this particular development. TPAB is both well-known and quite liked by the anime/blogging community at large and for very good…
