Tsurune 2 Episode 13 -Full Anchor

Posted on April 2, 2023March 30, 2023 by Irina

I can say it officially now. Season 2 of Tsurune was exponentially better than season 1. At least for me. The rating is a little better but only by 4 or 5 points. But I thought it was a full letter grade better. If ever you had any doubt that reading anime is useless, I…

Tsurune 2 Episode 12 -Small Victories

Posted on March 26, 2023March 25, 2023 by Irina

I had to look it up after the end of the episode but there is one more left this season. This episode really felt like a finale to me. And a good one at that. It gave me all the emotional closure I needed and even a few of the good old competition jitters. I…

Tsurune 2 Episode 11 -Round 1

Posted on March 19, 2023March 16, 2023 by Irina

Nationals have finally started and all the teams made it to the tournament. Well, probably not ALL the teams but all the teams we care about, right? I actually had a great week of anime. All the shows I watched had great episodes, Tsurune included. But I noticed that I took way more screencaps of…

To Your Eternity 2 ep. 20- Dreams

Posted on March 18, 2023March 16, 2023 by Irina

You know what, I’m just going to lay it all out right here. My reaction to the season 2 finale of To Your Eternity was a simple one: F it, I liked it! And now you are going to find out why!

Tsurune 2 Episode 10 -Uncle

Posted on March 12, 2023March 12, 2023 by Irina

Out of all the episodes of Tsurune’s second season, I would say that this one most closely resembled the first season. And by that, I mean that it was mostly drama and personal strife with very little actual archery going on. There was a moment early in the episode but that’s about it. It’s not…

To Your Eternity 2 ep. 19- Victory

Posted on March 11, 2023March 11, 2023 by Irina

There’s a basic formula that’s been used in dramas since the dawn of time. It probably has a name but I just call it “darkest before the dawn”. That’s when the narrative really lays on the despair and angst super thick right before giving our heroes some type of glorious victory. Basically, it’s exactly what…

Penguindrum – One by One The Penguins Steal My Sanity

Posted on March 9, 2023February 10, 2023 by Irina

Genre: Beautifully undefinable Episodes: 24 Studio: Brain’s Base I don’t know what a Penguindrum is. Not exactly. We’re never told in clear terms. That’s the type of story this is. A lot of it is up to you. It’s not the type of story that lends itself well to a summary. It’s not that clear…

Vampire in the Garden – It’s A Miss For Me

Posted on March 7, 2023March 2, 2023 by Irina

The world ended…again. Ok not completely, the planet is still there and there are a few humans but those humans aren’t very happy. And they certainly aren’t living in the lap of luxury. Trapped in an endless war for survival, trying to scrape by. There are also a lot of vampires around but they’re not…

Tsurune 2 Episode 9 -Coach

Posted on March 4, 2023March 2, 2023 by Irina

Man, they sure are going all out in developing the Tsujimine team. I am not complaining…at least not yet. It’s going to be very difficult to root for any one school at nationals though. I wonder if they’ll do that cop-out that Sports! anime sometimes resort to and have a completely different school we’ve never…

To Your Eternity 2 ep. 18- Whaaa

Posted on March 4, 2023March 2, 2023 by Irina

Remember when I started doing episode reviews cause I figured they would be nice short posts I could just get out in a couple of minutes? No? Yeah, me neither…. Admittedly, I don’t pick series that are very easy to review in just a few words. So that’s on me. To Your Eternity has a…

Utsubora Manga Review

Posted on February 27, 2023February 10, 2023 by Irina

I’ve been collecting manga for a little while now and I do enjoy it a lot. In an effort to branch out and maybe discover something I wouldn’t have otherwise, I asked for manga suggestions on Twitter and got a bunch back. It’s how I discovered Blank Canvas which I really dig. Among the people…

Tsurune 2 Episode 8 -Practice Match

Posted on February 25, 2023February 25, 2023 by Irina

We are 8 episodes into the second season of Tsurune so I feel like I can say this pretty confidently now, I really like this season. As in I think it’s considerably better than the first. But I can see it also be a little alienating. Season 1 was a little like KyoAni’s other big…

To Your Eternity 2 ep. 17- From Bad to Worse

Posted on February 25, 2023February 25, 2023 by Irina

We play a lot of war games. It’s a thing people have always done. So sometimes, it makes us think that war is a win/fail sort of affair. You just need to meet the conditions and trigger enough flags and there you go, you win. If time runs out, too bad, so sad. But that’s…

Kyousougiga Left Me Speechless

Posted on February 22, 2023February 10, 2023 by Irina

Genre : Comedy, drama, spiritual, slice of life, romance, rabbits, magical girl Episodes: 10 Studio: Toei Animation   This one is going to be a little different. Maybe you can tell already because I usually reserve this part of my reviews for a series synopsis and instead I’m already editorializing. You see, I just know…

Tsurune 2 Episode 7 -Teamwork

Posted on February 18, 2023February 17, 2023 by Irina

I have to say, I’m really enjoying this second season of Tsurune. That wonderful episode last week has now been followed up by an equally lighthearted and joyful episode this week. What do you expect when you put Ryouhei at the center of an episode, of course, it’s going to be happy-go-lucky. His unexpected budding…
