Can’t Stop Cursing You (manga first impression)

Posted on September 5, 2022September 6, 2022 by Irina

Unlike anime, I don’t review every manga I read. So you probably won’t know that I actually have been reading a series of gloomier, macabre and gorey manga lately. I think I Can’t Stop Cursing You is the only one I’m going to review though. If you want to know why you need to read…

Shadows House 2 episode 9 – Invitation

Posted on September 4, 2022September 5, 2022 by Irina

I was ok with Maryrose’s reasoning or motivations to have a few holes in it. In fact, I mentioned last week that her way of going about things was a bit dubious when you sit down and really think about it. But it didn’t bother me. For me, Shadows House is fun and stylish enough…

Shadows House 2 episode 8 – Morph 

Posted on August 28, 2022August 28, 2022 by Irina

Oh I liked this episode. I really liked this episode. It wasn’t without its flaws mind you. And Shadows House does have a tendency to prioritize style, but what a style it is. I rarely give spoiler warnings on my episode reiews. I think it’s pretty obvious I’m going to talk about the episode. Still,…

Nightfall Travelers

Posted on August 22, 2022July 8, 2022 by Irina

Have you ever seen the cover of a manga and instantly decided that you were going to love that manga? It happens to me all the time. Just goes to show you that you shouldn’t skimp out on cover design expenses.   I don’t bring this up randomly. It did happen to me with Nightfall Travelers….

Shadows House 2 episode 7 – Peony 

Posted on August 21, 2022August 19, 2022 by Irina

Louise is a very interesting archetype I think. She’s the type who is bound to get underestimated a lot and is using that very fact to her advantage. But she’s written not only so that the other characters don’t see her coming, but I think they’re trying to trick us, the audience into underestimating her…

Shadows House 2 episode 6 – Bitter

Posted on August 14, 2022August 12, 2022 by Irina

know it’s only August but I started looking into what my blog’s Halloween lineup should be like this year. It does take a while to watch a bunch of spooky anime and unlike last year, I don’t have anything at all lined up. Shadows House would have been a perfect Halloween review don’t you think?…

Shadows House 2 episode 5 – Friends

Posted on August 7, 2022August 5, 2022 by Irina

This week we had Shadows in shadows. And you might think that’s a bit of a shortsighted visual choice. It’s bound to make things very hard to see. But I thought it really worked. You’ll see it in my screencaps. Sure it did make it though to see the details of the scene but that’s…

Shadows House 2 episode 4 – Kate

Posted on July 31, 2022July 29, 2022 by Irina

Every week, I like the Shadows House OP more and more. The song is called Shall We Dance and it’s by this lovely young artist named ReoNa. She has a great voice. I have discovered a lot of Japanese artists I love to this day through anime OPs and EDs. I like that there’s some…

ODDTAXI – The Importance of Leaving on a Bang

Posted on July 28, 2022June 10, 2022 by Irina

Titles: Odd Taxi Genre: Drama, crime, mystery Episodes: 13 Studio: OLM, P.I.C.S. Who killed Yuki Mitsuya? Wait, don’t jump to conclusions, I’m doing a Twin Peaks analogy. We don’t even know for sure if Yuki Mitsuya is dead. There’s this idol group you see, Mystery Kiss, and the singers always wear masks but one of…

Shadows House 2 episode 3 – Phantom

Posted on July 24, 2022July 22, 2022 by Irina

Sadly there was no nice Maryrose dancing scene for me to make a gif out of this week. But I guess Emilico and the vacuum were almost like dancing. My autocorrect really hates the name Emilico. It auto changes it to Emilio every single time. I covered the first season, it should be used to…

Migi and Dali – Manga Review

Posted on July 18, 2022May 4, 2022 by Irina

Depending on the translation it’s either Migi and Dali or Migi and Dari. I like the name Dali better so that’s what I’m sticking with. Some of you might have heard that this manga is going to have an anime adaptation so if you’re curious about my thoughts on that, I’ll let you know towards…

Shadows House 2 episode 2 – Christopher

Posted on July 17, 2022July 15, 2022 by Irina

I wonder if I can get a different gif of Maryrose dancing every week this season. I doubt it. AniList doesn’t even have her s a supporting character so I figure she’s probably not going to show up all that much. It’s a fun theme for now. I’ll keep it going for as long as…

Shadows House 2 episode 1 – John

Posted on July 10, 2022July 8, 2022 by Irina

In honour of the return of Shadows House, I made myself a little Shadow Rini! I hope you like her as it took me a surprisingly long time to do. I even mirrored her. It’s impressive how easily I can be amused! I have been looking forward to this. I think it’s safe to say…

Titles: Shiguang Dailiren, Genre: Drama, crime, action, mystery, thriller, supernatural Episodes: 11 + special Studio: Studio LAN Photographs all have a little bit of magic in them, don’t they? They can freeze time in one specific place and preserve it forever. Well for a while a least. And these days, photos are everywhere. The world…
