For those of you who don’t read my blog regularly, you might not know that I have a loose schedule I follow. That includes episode reviews on the weekends. I’m not sure why, I just fell into that rhythm. Personally, I just don’t have the discipline and flexibility to do that many seasonal episode reviews…

Anime Fans and Chainsaw Man
Chainsaw Man was one of the more beloved manga to come out in recent years. Unsurprisingly, when an anime adaptation was announced (fairly quickly) it made quite a stir among the anime community. Fans far and wide had their word to say. Now that the anime is about halfway through the first season (I’m writing…
Venting Update – ‘Cmon Steal This!
So last week I wrote a post about a site that has been stealing my content. I called it Venting Frustrations and if you’re not caught up on the story feel free to read it. In short, this site has been stealing my and a ton of other blogger’s content.
How Much Do You Need To Know About Anime To Write A Blog About Anime?
I know what you’re thinking, if you go by my example, then you don’t need to know all that much at all.
When Hobbies Use To Be Hobbies
In case you didn’t know, I consider this blog a hobby. I do it for fun. Just for fun. I don’t ever plan to have a carrier in anything remotely related and I didn’t study in a connected field. When I created the blog the possibility of making any sort of profit from it never…
Blogging as a Grown Up
I feel like this is going to need a disclaimer. Because I know people can get touchy when I use terms like “Grown Up”. I remember watching a Jenna Marbles and hearing her explain that to her, being a grown-up means buying stuff you hate. And I love that definition. You can probably find the…
Spoiler Culture and Anime Fans
Spoilers are bad right? I mean yeah they are! But not everything is a spoiler. Sometimes, spoiler phobia can go a bit too far. At least I think so. I’m pretty sure that every media-based community has this thing where they detest spoilers. It’s like one of the cardinal internet sins to spoil a show…
Trying to Squash my Unreasonable Negativity in my Anime Reviews
Sometimes I catch myself having negative feelings about an anime for reasons that have nothing to do with the anime itself, and it’s something that I want to be able to identify quickly because I think I shouldn’t let it affect my reviews.
What’s The Point of a Worst Anime of the Year?
I’m writing this in late December so we’re just starting to get all those BEST and WORST anime of the year posts, videos and threads going around. Just the other days on Twitter, I saw that only WORST anime was trending which sort of shows you how negative 2021 has been for some people. And…
In Defence of Anime Comedy
I like comedies. I’m just a person who likes to laugh a lot. That’s why it’s always a bit hurtful to see people disparaging the genre. So today I’m going to defend comedies. Despite it being one of the most popular genres, arguable and arch-genre, that has no need to be defended. I feel useful!
Top 5 Pros of Long Running Anime Series
I don’t know if you’re like me but I get a bit intimidated by anime series with really high episode counts. Once it reaches the 3 digits I immediately try to figure out if it worth it. As if watching 10 mediocre 12 episode shows isn’t the exact same thing. What can I say, I’m…
I’m Having Trouble Adapting to the Anime Community off WordPress
I’m not talking about any actual anime today. In fact, I,m not really talking about much. Just getting some feelings out so I can look at them properly and move on. This might not be for all my readers. I’ll get back to the good stuff tomorrow! I want to talk a bit about how…
In Search of Anime Discourse
As some of you may know, I don’t know that many anime fans IRL. In fact, despite having a fairly successful and large anime convention every year, Montreal doesn’t really cater to anime fans that much. There is one Manga bookstore in the city and it carries mostly French titles and you can get some…
Making Episode Reviews Work for Me
Hi guys. Today I will once again be attempting to become a better blogger by talking shop with all of you. I apologize to my readers that are here for the anime. Don’t worry there’s plenty more to come! Today, however, I want to talk about anime episode reviews. I have been doing episode reviews…
How Lovely Complex’s Seiko Kotobuki made me Rethink Everything
I think it’s safe to say that my blog is not a very serious blog. That’s a cultivated image in fact. I have never tried to make I Drink and Watch Anime any sort of rigorous academic environment. Just reading that sentence is kind of ridiculous. Still, once in a while, I will broach subjects…
