Why Aren’t Anime Movies Musicals?

Posted on July 20, 2022May 17, 2022 by Irina

This is going to be a very weird post. Very very weird post. The other day I was singing We Don’t Talk About Bruno, just like everyone else was in February/March of this year. And I thought to myself wow Encanto has some really good songs. And this made me tumble down a wishing well…

The Power of Tears in Anime

Posted on April 27, 2022February 18, 2022 by Irina

Crying is a fascinating mechanism. I’m not talking about shedding a few tears to get rid of a speck of dust in your eye, I’m talking about what we call psychic, or ‘crying’ tears. Basically, this is the good ol’ fashion bawling we do in response to emotional rather than physical stimuli.

Emergency between seasons post! The Anime Convention I was promised

Posted on April 3, 2022April 1, 2022 by Irina

In my life, I have attended a few anime conventions and I have also seen a lot of anime conventions in anime. And there is a pretty big difference. To be fair, I have only attended North American conventions, both in Canada and the US. I realize that the conventions shown in anime are usually depicting…

Posted on June 25, 2020June 25, 2020 by Irina

It’s that time again! That magical time of wonder and excitement when a young otaku’s fancies turn to love…for a brand new series of anime! It’s new season time!!!! YAY! I have only been following new seasons of anime for a few years. Before that I just randomly watched whatever I happen to fall on…

In Defence of Nitpicking Anime

Posted on May 20, 2020May 20, 2020 by Irina

Once in a while I post random screencaps I have taken, to twitter without context. It’s a fun little game. What can I say, I’m easily entertained! Since I watched Land of the Lustrous recently, I was posting caps from that show and posted one of Cinnabar blushing. This one to be precise: Cute pic!…

What’s The Deal with Anime Main Characters Sitting By the Window?

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

So I guess my post titling skills are not in fact getting any better at all. What’s the opposite of clickbait? Cause that’s what that title was. At least you know what you’re in for…

Ao Haru Ride – Learning to Love Again

Posted on April 1, 2020March 29, 2020 by Irina

  Genre:  Romance, Drama Episodes: 12 Studio: Production I.G.   With love comes a window of opportunity to pursue it. What happens when you wait too long, and you suddenly find that window has closed? Romance can often be unfortunate like that, but other times luck is in your favor. What happens when that window…

Aniblogging vs Mainstream (Anime Award Edition)

Posted on February 27, 2020February 27, 2020 by Irina

Each year anime fans celebrate their media of choice by holding awards for their favourites. I don’t really follow award shows because my tastes tend to be a bit out there. I also watch most anime after they’ve aired so I usually have only seen a couple of titles by the time the awards roll…

The Origins of Weeaboo

Posted on January 15, 2020December 7, 2019 by Irina

I’ve never had much first hand contact with the term “weeaboo”. I learned it from an anime loving friend who used it more like a term of endearment. Something like, let’s hang out this weekend and do some weeaboo stuff… except it was another word starting with “s”. Super sweet kid but a total potty…

Boogiepop Doesn’t Laugh and Neither did I

Posted on April 7, 2019April 6, 2019 by Irina

***Editing Irina here – it’s April 5th and it’s definitely snowing here. In your face BoogiePop!*** Well, Boogiepop has come and gone. Although this was yet another anti-climatic ending, it was at least a comprehensible one… Way to set that bar just a millimeter off the ground. Shania is hosting our last episode review, so look…

BoogiePop and Others Ep. 12-15 with Shania

Posted on March 17, 2019March 16, 2019 by Irina

BoogiePop’s messy release schedule was driving me just a little nuts so I did the most reasonable thing possible and drove Shania a little nuts too. The results! We are almost caught up! Here’s everything that happened before this Friday! There Shall Be Spoilers!

It’s Collab Time! With Irina and Shania – BoogiePop and Others Ep. 11

Posted on March 13, 2019 by Irina

Sorry guys, I know the schedule is a bit off this week but to be fair BoogiePop started it! Just randomly dropping 4 episodes at once. That’s rude to us reviewers. Ok Ok, discussers and occasional screencap takers… Anywho Shania and I are back, braving snow and lack of sleep to bring you this now…

The Fantastic Freedom of the Aimless Blog

We’ve gone through some stuff together haven’t we… You and I. I have been hitting a few of those random milestones lately. With the anniversary of this blog and nice round numbers of followers and so forth, I’ve been writing a lot of those blog introspection posts. I know what I’m supposed to do. I’m suppose…

Becoming a Better Person Through Anime (again…)

Posted on August 11, 2018August 11, 2018 by Irina

Fair warning, I’m going on one of those weird rides again. Even I’m not entirely sure where this post is going to take us but I hope you take a leap with me. If we don’t end up anywhere interesting, at least we’ll be together. Wait… I know this is going to take some of…
