Play It Cool, Guys – episode 9

Posted on December 11, 2022December 5, 2022 by Irina

I remember a little while ago, I had a reader mention in my comments that they were unable to find any good Cute Guys Doing Cute Things anime and this led to wondering if the formulae could even be applied to a male cast. At the time I had already read a couple of volumes…

Spy x Family episode 23 – Private Family Collection

Posted on December 11, 2022December 11, 2022 by Irina

Two years ago I started the first volume of Spy x Family. I remember during Christmas dinner 2020, I was sneaking glimpses at the pages. I had gotten completely embroiled in the world of the Forger Family and complicit in Operation Styx. At the time, I desperately wanted an anime adaptation. Here we are two…

How to Watch Don’t Hurt Me, My Healer

Posted on December 8, 2022November 3, 2022 by Irina

Alvin is a great adventurer. Great is sort of a relative term. But he is a veteran…rookie. Apparently, that exists. And he’ll impress you with how surprisingly weak he can be. But he’s not a bad guy. He tries hard at times and he really wants to be an adventurer. And now he finally has…

The Yakuza’s Guide to Babysitting – Bad Timing

Posted on December 6, 2022November 3, 2022 by Irina

Kirishima is a name that is both known and feared in Japon’s underworld. The first lieutenant of the Sakuragi Yakuza Family has well earned his nickname of The Demon of Sakuragi. He might not be great at remembering names or faces or running simple errands, but if you need someone to keep your rivals in…

Shinozaki-kun no Mente Jijou – Manga First Impression

Posted on December 5, 2022November 27, 2022 by Irina

Shinozaki-kun no Mente Jijou or The Everyday Maintenance of Shinozaki-kun is my latest random manga discovery and I am really digging it. There is a genre called High Fantasy and I’ll be completely honest with you, I never looked up the actual definition. It gets associated with Tolkien a lot, so I always just assumed…

Play It Cool, Guys – episode 8

Posted on December 4, 2022November 29, 2022 by Irina

This week I watched Play It Cool, Guys right after a particularly intense episode of To Your Eternity and let me tell you this show is an amazing palette cleanser. Even if you’re not watching it now, if in the future you watch a really emotionally draining series and you need a little anime just…

Spy x Family episode 21 – The Phony Family

Posted on December 4, 2022December 3, 2022 by Irina

First the Forgers, now the Phonys, do you think anyone is ever going to get intrigued by these family names? I was going to say that at least Forger seems like a real name but I decided to look it up first. I used LinkedIn and there are a ton of Forgers on there, it’s…

If My Favorite Pop Idol Made It to the Budokan, I Would Die

Posted on November 30, 2022November 3, 2022 by Irina

It’s really hard to stand out as an idol group these days, There are just so many talented young idols out there. You probably haven’t even heard of 99% of them. and that’s ok. I,m not saying this to make you feel bad. It’s perfectly normal. Like I said, there are so many talented idols…

Play It Cool, Guys – episode 7

Posted on November 27, 2022November 22, 2022 by Irina

Have I mentioned how much of a challenge writing episode reviews for Play it Cool, Guys, is? It’s an enjoyable challenge that I look forward to each week, but a challenge nevertheless. Not only is this a show where almost nothing happens but it’s also a short program, so almost nothing happens for a brief…

Spy x Family episode 21 – The Spy Who Wuvved Me

Posted on November 27, 2022November 27, 2022 by Irina

Oh me oh my. This is a whole different type of trouble now. We haven’t quite seen this type of conflict in Spy x Family before. Normally, I would say no one stands a chance against Yor but this…. it’s just not the kind of battle Yor is used to fighting. She’s not trained for…

Spy x Family episode 20 – Family Doctor

Posted on November 20, 2022November 19, 2022 by Irina

So the issue with my gifs seems to have fixed itself. I’m quite happy about that. I like creating gifs for my post headers. I think it’s fun. I do wish I knew what had caused the issue in the first place though. I find that sometimes WordPress tinkers with things and they don’t warn…

Daily Life of the Immortal King 2 – Going Home Again

Posted on November 16, 2022November 16, 2022 by Irina

Ling Wang is an average, everyday, ordinary student at a perfectly normal magic academy for spiritual power. You know the type. And since the world ended a few months ago, he’s been enjoying his average ordinary everyday life. Or at least he’s been trying to. There have been a few hiccups with his figure (the seal that…

Spy x Family episode 19 – The Glooman Family Business

Posted on November 13, 2022November 12, 2022 by Irina

The second cour of Spy Family is much more Slice of Life in structure, isn’t it? I guess I should have seen it coming, the manga is as well. We’re going to get back to the main plot soon though and there’s a long-form side adventure coming up that I’m very fond of. I guess…
