The Positive Negative Review

Posted on July 8, 2023June 30, 2023 by Irina

I am one of the three people out there that openly admits to being a fan of ranty or negative reviews. Most bloggers hold back from writing overly negative posts and the general consensus I’ve seen from people in the anime community is that if you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything…

Do I Prefer Writing Essays or Reviews

Posted on May 21, 2023May 20, 2023 by Irina

A long time ago I started using the word essay for my random ramblings on this blog. I’ve never been all that comfortable with it. Essays sounds kind of grand for what I do. It implies research or at least some level of knowledge on the subject discussed. Half the time I’m really just babbling…

This year’s Search Terms were… Unexpected

Posted on December 29, 2022December 28, 2022 by Irina

Sorry about putting this here guys. There’s this new site that has been stealing all my content (and content from a lot of other great bloggers) called Anime Sensai. They really suck. But I figure I might as well use the opportunity for some advertising. So if you actually came across this post on Anime…

Finally Learning to Moderate My Comments

Posted on October 13, 2022October 13, 2022 by Irina

When I started this blog, I knew very little about blogging. Not just about being a blogger but about blogs in general. I had participated in some forums but when it came to blogs, I generally read the post and moved on. To be honest, it took me a while to notice that blogs even…

So many words, So little thoughts – Reviewing shows you have nothing to say about

Posted on September 20, 2022September 20, 2022 by Irina

For those of us who write anime reviews, especially those brave souls who do so on an episodic basis, there will come a time when you are faced with a show you just don’t have that much to say about. You know…it was fine. I can hear some of you already, just don’t review it if…

When Hobbies Use To Be Hobbies

Posted on August 23, 2022July 8, 2022 by Irina

In case you didn’t know, I consider this blog a hobby. I do it for fun. Just for fun. I don’t ever plan to have a carrier in anything remotely related and I didn’t study in a connected field. When I created the blog the possibility of making any sort of profit from it never…

Blogging as a Grown Up

Posted on July 26, 2022June 3, 2022 by Irina

I feel like this is going to need a disclaimer. Because I know people can get touchy when I use terms like “Grown Up”. I remember watching a Jenna Marbles and hearing her explain that to her, being a grown-up means buying stuff you hate. And I love that definition. You can probably find the…

The Many Sides of the Monetization Coin

Posted on June 29, 2022June 29, 2022 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.
