Born to Die – Bungo Stray Dogs’ Karma

Posted on May 20, 2019 by Irina

****I will be discussing characters and events from the fourth episode of Bingo Stray Dogs, season 3. Although I don’t believe this post by spoils anything about the season or the larger plot, it does go over the episode itself in fair detail so if you don’t want to learn what happens, please feel free…

Do you know Hōka Inumuta?

Posted on May 6, 2019March 31, 2019 by Irina

When I called out for help and inspiration on anime characters to write about, Kill la Kill’s Ryuko was one of the top contenders. She doesn’t exactly fit the underrated/underappreciated theme I’m trying to go for. In fact, she’s one of the few characters with her very own TV tropes page I have now wasted an afternoon…

The Art of the Helpless Antagonist

Posted on April 22, 2019March 24, 2019 by Irina

A while ago I came across this little piece of fan art I absolutely love! It’s great right. It may speak to some dark twisted nature deep in me, but Danganronpa, Magical Girl Raising Project and Madoka also happen to be 3 of my favorite franchises. I’m probably the only person in the world who…

Turning the Tables – Masculinity for Women, by Women and Natsume…

Posted on April 10, 2019April 13, 2019 by Irina

That’s quite the title. I’ve been working hard on my titles and no I still haven’t come up with anything better that Nowlsume. It’s March 12 right now. In a recent Owls chat it was hinted that April’s topic would be masculinity and I hope that wasn’t a joke. I’m not often there so there…

Top 5 Types of Anime Characters You Should Never Trust

Posted on February 15, 2019January 29, 2019 by Irina

If there’s one thing anime’s taught me, it’s that the entire world is essentially a den of lies and you should never ever trust anything or anyone! I lead a real fun life. It therefore goes without saying that you shouldn’t trust any anime characters but these 5 archetypes are particularly not to be trusted as…

The Troubled Persona of Naoto Shirogane

Posted on January 28, 2019January 13, 2019 by Irina

***Although I have seen the animation, this will be mostly about the game version of Naoto as I know it better*** Also minor Naoto SPOILERS I guess… I mean it’s pretty obvious but whatever…  Do you guys know Naoto Shirogane? If you haven’t had the pleasure you should really meet. Naoto is just freakin lovely….

The Man Behind the Hand – Tomura Shigaraki

Posted on January 14, 2019January 6, 2019 by Irina

Have you ever stopped to consider how many characters there are in My Hero Academia? A lot, the answer is A LOT! And most of them are given at least a modicum of development. Just enough to make you think they’re more than just set pieces and actually do continue existing once the main characters…

Character Studies and Drunken Anime

Posted on December 29, 2018December 16, 2018 by Irina

Hello everyone. I hope you are all enjoying your holidays. I hope I am as well. It’s very early December at the moment. I think I should be putting up my Christmas tree soon. I’ve decided to deviate from my regularly planned programming today to talk to you about….my regularly planned programming. Or more specifically…

Christmas is for Family – Sachiko Fujinuma (12 days)

Posted on December 17, 2018December 9, 2018 by Irina

Last year around Christmas, I wrote about Celty and Shinra because Christmas is for lovers! This year, I’m keeping the love theme going and I’m going to celebrate one of my very favourite anime mothers, Sachiko Fujinuma from Erased, because Christmas is also for families!

The Rei Ayanami Dilema

Posted on November 26, 2018November 17, 2018 by Irina

So far I’ve managed to stay pretty far away from Neon Genesis Evangelion on this blog. I’ve mentioned it in passing but I’ve yet to dedicate a single post to any of its many themes, characters or legacies. Love it or hate it, you cannot deny that the series has had an important impact on…

Top 5 Good Characters in Bad Animes

Posted on November 2, 2018October 4, 2018 by Irina

Ok so both “good” and “bad” are obviously arbitrary here. I went with my gut! However, as far as I’m concerned, these characters deserved better than the shows they got saddled with. Characters with deep compelling personalities or at least for the potential for it, stuck in lousy narrative where they will languish unappreciated forevermore……

Nora nashi gami

Posted on October 15, 2018October 9, 2018 by Irina

Have you watched Noragami? You should… It’s good! It’s also pretty complex. It sneaks in a lot of rather heavy themes under the guise of an action anime with some Japanese mythology for flavour. You could almost be fooled into thinking this one was just about running around and looking cool with swords. I wouldn’t…

Do You Like Characters Which Are Relatable or Remarkable?

Posted on September 29, 2018September 9, 2018 by Irina

That post title took me forever to come up with. Yes it did!!! I actually gave up and just used the post outline instead. But I tried for a long time before that. Some of you may remember that I generally prefer character driven narratives to plot driven ones. This means I can enjoy shows…
