Posted on August 3, 2021May 28, 2021 by Irina

You know what I haven’t done in a while? Throw out a random Psycho Pass post just because! I think it’s high time I remedy that. Let me give you just a bit of context. I just started watching Ergo Proxy (we’re mid-May as I write this) and it sort of reminded me of Psycho…

Top 5 Pleasant End of the World Animes

Posted on July 19, 2019July 15, 2019 by Irina

We’ve all gotta go sometime and popular belief dictates that eventually, the entire species is going to go as well.

The Promised Neverland Episode 7 – Prophylaxis

Posted on February 24, 2019 by Irina

Prophylaxis is a key concept of positional chess. It is a move, or sequence of moves, to deal with an opponent’s plan before it starts. Sometimes one can completely stop the threat; sometimes one just makes the plan relatively harmless. You make me wish I had studied chess instead of learning just enough to get…

The Promised Neverland Episode 1 – 45,000,000$

Posted on January 13, 2019January 14, 2019 by Irina

Crow and I are back for another collab this season. Yup I managed to strongarm him again. I think part of my success is simply due to the fact that Zombieland Saga was such a fun show that it made our collab seem that much more fun as well. I’m not sure if “fun” is…
