Manga First Impression – The Apothecary Diaries

Posted on March 22, 2021March 14, 2021 by Irina

So lately I’ve been ordering a lot of manga. I’m in the mood to discover my next big manga love story. I’ve also not been reading as much webcomics. At least not family-friendly ones. As such, I figured I would switch my webtoon recommendations for manga first impressions until I build up a nice stock…

Woodpecker Detective’s Office Ep.12 – Life is Short

Posted on July 5, 2020July 5, 2020 by Irina

I’m not sure what I was expecting for the finale of Woodpecker Detective’s Office. It’s been a frustrating show, way too inconsistent to properly gauge. Sure I was hoping it would be a good last episode but I wasn’t holding my breath or anything. You can see some of th stitches and the scars from…

Woodpecker Detective’s Office Ep.11 – Giving Form to the Sparkles

Posted on June 28, 2020June 23, 2020 by Irina

Weirdly, there’s gonna be spoilers for the first season of Psycho Pass… This is going to be another weird review, isn’t it… I’m gonna tell you a secret. Don’t get too excited or anything, it’s not a very good secret. Still it’s a bit embarrassing. I never watched all of Psycho Pass season 1. I talk…

Woodpecker Detective’s Office Ep.10 – A Very Kind Friend

Posted on June 21, 2020June 15, 2020 by Irina

When I was a kid my favourite poet was Jean Arthur Rimbaud. I still like him a lot. There’s something about French poetry that appeals to me in an ineffable way. It’s a bit savage and the way the language bends and contorts to create so many homophones allows on to play with the rhythm…

Woodpecker Detective’s Office Ep.9 – Nice Job Breaking It, Hero!

Posted on June 14, 2020June 9, 2020 by Irina

You know there are a lot of things I like about Woodpecker Detective’s Agency. In fact, I liked last week’s episode quite a lot. But I have come to realize, or much more accurately, I have spontaneously decided, that there are two major issues holding this show back. I’m going to try to explain them…

Woodpecker Detective’s Office Ep.8 – Crying Game

Posted on June 7, 2020 by Irina

I don’t know how many of you even see my header images. And I do know this series isn’t exactly very popular so I wouldn’t be surprised if n one at all sees them. And even though I already know the answer to the next question, I’m still gonna ask. Have you noticed that I…

Woodpecker Detective’s Office Ep.7 – Oh No…

Posted on May 31, 2020May 25, 2020 by Irina

Guys I’m worried. I didn’t think I would be. I mean it’s not lie there are any surprises here and the Woodpecker Detective’s Office is hardly my favourite series. It’s not even my favourite of the season. It’s like in 3rd place. And I’m only watching 3 shows! And yet here I am, worried and…

Woodpecker Detective’s Office Ep.5 – Springtime à la carte

Posted on May 17, 2020May 11, 2020 by Irina

That title is really very tenuously related to the episode. I mean themes of love and longing and young men’s fancies and all but really it’s very different story in a completely different style and setting. I’m still using it as a title. I’ve always quite liked it and if I can encourage one person…

Woodpecker Detective’s Office Ep.4 – The Ghost in the Moonlight

Posted on May 10, 2020May 4, 2020 by Irina

I like ghost stories. I like the a lot. But being a total coward, I prefer ghost stories where it turns out the ghost wasn’t really a ghost at all. That way I don’t have to sleep with the lights on for the nxt week. I still do of course. Better safe than sorry. ust…

Woodpecker Detective’s Office Ep.3 – Secrets and Lies

Posted on May 3, 2020April 29, 2020 by Irina

Oh this show is going to be frustrating… I can just feel it. Not because it’s bad. In fact I don’t think it is at all. There are moments of impressive wit and quite a bit of substance under the pulp plots but it’s…messy? And it just refuses to be one thing. You can’t settle…

Woodpecker Detective’s Office Ep.2 – Red Light

Posted on April 26, 2020April 21, 2020 by Irina

I’ve come to realize that last week I was feeling this show out. I mean that’s to be expected as it was the first episode after all. That’s what you do in a first episode, you feel things out. It had a few nice technical elements in it’s favour (colours, backgrounds, voices) and it manage…

Woodpecker Detective’s Office Ep.1 – Guest Starring Mori-San

Posted on April 19, 2020 by Irina

I was still looking for a show to review on Sundays when surprise, Crunchyroll came out with a late entry. I remembered seeing this series, or rather seeing the cover art for this series and thinking that it looked like the Morose Mononokean so i figured I would give is a try based on that….
