Fall 2022 Brought a Weird Mix of Episode Reviews

Posted on January 17, 2023January 6, 2023 by Irina

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

Posted on December 15, 2022November 24, 2022 by Irina

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!

Posted on December 13, 2022December 12, 2022 by Irina

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.

Posted on October 6, 2022August 5, 2022 by Irina

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

Posted on August 23, 2022July 8, 2022 by Irina

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

Posted on July 26, 2022June 3, 2022 by Irina

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

Posted on February 16, 2022November 5, 2021 by Irina

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

Posted on February 2, 2022January 21, 2022 by Irina

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?

Posted on January 25, 2022January 7, 2022 by Irina

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

Posted on January 5, 2022September 28, 2021 by Irina

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

Posted on August 13, 2021August 13, 2021 by Irina

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…

Posted on July 29, 2021May 28, 2021 by Irina

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

Posted on June 29, 2021May 28, 2021 by Irina

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…

How Lovely Complex’s Seiko Kotobuki made me Rethink Everything

Posted on May 19, 2021May 27, 2021 by Irina

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…
