The Promised Neverland Nitpicking – Does Episode 12 Work?

Posted on March 31, 2019March 31, 2019 by Irina

Oh noes! It’s season’s end and I suddenly find myself without a Sunday episode post for you guys. Luckily, The Promise Neverland is the gift that keeps on giving. So I get to milk this amazing anime for content at least one more time! Probably a dozen more times n the future, at least!

Top 5 Reasons I Relate to Anime

Posted on March 29, 2019 by Irina

As much as I am loath to admit it, anime isn’t an objectively superior form of entertainment. It just happens to be MY entertainment of choice (along with video games) and pretty much the only thing I watch unless somebody else makes me watch live action. There have been many tags and general essay posts…

The Cold Hard Truth About SEO

Posted on March 27, 2019March 9, 2019 by Irina

Oh boy are we gonna have fun today! In short, I’m going to tell you the details I recently found out about search engine optimization and then come up with a flimsy excuse to explain away why I’m too lazy to do it. Let me set the scene:

Color Theory and Cinematic Language in Anime

Posted on March 21, 2019March 21, 2019 by Irina

It’s shocking I know, but I m going to babble about colors… Weird huh? Have you guys ever seen those YouTube videos of colorblind folks trying on those glasses that allow them to see colors for the first time and just going nuts with joy? I binge those. They make me cry every time. We…

In Defense of Social Outrage

Posted on March 6, 2019February 18, 2019 by Irina

No no wait! Don’t unfollow yet!! Hear me out! I know, I know we all hate those uptight people that get their panties in the tightest of bunch at the slightest provocation. I’m not going to say you should love them. I’m not planning on turning this blog into some type of manifesto either. Let’s…

What Types of Blog are you Most Likely to Pay For?

Posted on February 20, 2019March 13, 2019 by Irina

  You know, I often let you guys know I am not monetizing this blog even though no one’s asked. But with the amount of posts I write on the subject, it sure seems like I want to. I don’t. At least not yet. But I do see people talk about the subject a lot…

Death of the Author – Is Anime Art in a Vacuum?

Posted on February 7, 2019February 7, 2019 by Irina

Generally speaking I’m a proponent of approaching anime as a self-contained product. In practice that means I try to disregard the source material, reputation and pedigree of a show and simply enjoy it on its own merits. Occasionally this can get tricky but it’s my preferred method. I expounded a bit on it in this…

Episodic Watching and the Difficulties of Writing Serialized Fiction

Posted on February 5, 2019February 5, 2019 by Irina

Man, that is an unusually fancy title for me! I feel a little intimidated by my own post now… As some of you may know, last season I was watching Tsurune and the show took a week off around the end of the season as it had started late. The 2-week break between episodes changed…

Anime Detox

Posted on January 30, 2019August 21, 2020 by Irina

***editing Irina here, I wrote this last week and I’m already wondering whether it’s worth publishing. By the time it actually goes live (which will likely be at least another couple of weeks, It will probably no longer be topical. I do believe the principas stand tough. So here’s an out of date post I hope you still…

Should Your Blog Have a Media Kit?

Posted on January 17, 2019January 11, 2019 by Irina

No no, this isn’t a guest post. Sounds like one though. Even I’m not completely certain who’s writing this… I have been, and remain, pretty ambivalent about monetizing my blog. To me, there are just too many downsides. Simply activating ads yields very little revenue and you have no control over the content of the…

The Positive Negative Review

Posted on January 15, 2019January 5, 2019 by Irina

I am one of the three people out there that openly admits to being a fan of ranty or negative reviews. Most bloggers hold back from writing overly negative posts and the general consensus I’ve seen from people in the anime community is that if you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything…

Live Action Anime or Nah?

Posted on January 5, 2019December 30, 2018 by Irina

It’s nothing new for popular anime to get a live action remake (or a stage play which I desperately want to see someday) but with Netflix getting in the game lately, and the incredible popularity of comic book movies which could be seen as a western counterpart, we seem to be getting more and more…
