The Importance of Filler in Anime
I occasionally get asked where I get my post inspiration from. So let me give you an example:

Everyone wants to be Strong – What Anime Taught Me About Strength
I might as well warn you right off the bat, this is going to be one of those posts. A little weird, a little personal. I hope you still like it. “Strong” was never really a word that applied to me in any way growing up. I was, and still am, rather smaller than average...
My Blog Has Made Anime a Drug
I’ve spoken to many bloggers who go through phases of just not wanting to watch any anime at all. This is not something I struggle with myself. Generally, I don’t get bored or fed up of anime as a whole. Occasionally, certain shows can be a chore to slog through and I’ll see my anime...
I’m a Reviewer, Not a Critic or Irina Dodges Responsibility Again
Some of you may know that I generally write posts while travelling on public transit using my phone or tablet. For some reason the “word suggest” for what to write next, every time I type out my name is Shayk. I’ve never once chosen it but my devices refuse to give up hope. I’m starting...

**I’m not implying Black Butler is Yaoi, I just liked the gif** It’s no secret that I enjoy both a good Yaoi and a good Yuri story. In fact, I enjoy both genres equally. There’s nothing at all wrong with that. However, it is a little odd in my specific case. Because you see, I...
I Have a Bad Feeling About This – A Disorganized Rant Post
So remember when I had the bright idea to post about Lolis both as a concept and as a word? I try to forget that too. It was an impulsive reaction at best. Well let me step into something much worse. I promise I’ll lay off the topical anime fake duhrama for a bit after...
A Short Break in the Schedule and a Request
Guys, today I push my luck by not only being too lazy to stick to my schedule but also asking you for help. I know, I’m spoiled! I’m very grateful for it too!
Anime Genre Persecution Complex
This is a reactionary post. I don’t have any deep thoughts or insights to share here but I’ve noticed a situation crop up around me and decided to explore it a bit. And because exploring unknown things is scary and dangerous, I am taking you along with me in case I need a human shield...
