Pretty Boy Detective Club ep11 – Probatio Diabolica

Posted on June 20, 2021June 19, 2021 by Irina

This was one of these episodes that inspired a myriad of post titles. “A smart looking guy”, “An un-individualistic face”… in the end I had to go with Probatio Diabolica because it was just too cool. Ok, I thought it was cool which might not be the best reference. Probation Diabolica is what Dojima said…

Shadows House episode 11 – Human

Posted on June 20, 2021June 19, 2021 by Irina

Last episode of Shadows House did pretty much set the way for what was to come. Namely a more action heavy finale. And at the time, I wasn,t quite certain how to feel about it. Let’s say I was cautiously optimistic. And although I did find episode 11 of Shadows House less “interesting” in the…

Pretty Boy Detective Club ep10 – Ugly

Posted on June 13, 2021June 12, 2021 by Irina

Cards on the table, this was kind of a weird episode of Pretty Boy Detective Club. Saying that an episode of Pretty Boy Detective Club is weird seems like a waste of time. But it was. Potentially because in many ways, this might be the most down-to-earth episode so far. I liked it! I say…

Shadows House episode 10 – Fairies

Posted on June 13, 2021June 12, 2021 by Irina

Well, well, well… It turns out that Shadows House was a fairy tale all this time. Fairy tales can be frightening things. It does fit the mood quite well. And I am surprised. I spent a lot of time theorizing about the show and it’s been a long time since I was completely wrong about…

Pretty Boy Detective Club ep9 – Choir Contest

Posted on June 6, 2021June 6, 2021 by Irina

Well I’m stumped. I thought I liked this episode of Pretty Boy Detective club less than previous ones. I’m pretty sure I did. Yet I finished it a few minutes ago and now feel great. Like happy and in a good mood. And I know the two are related. I just don’t know how to…

Shadows House episode 9 – Reunion

Posted on June 6, 2021June 5, 2021 by Irina

I’m still having a grand time watching Shadows Hose. It has been a lovely series and is fairing quite well in what has been a really good season of anime for me. Next season is looking pretty great too. I’ve already picked out my weekend review shows. Well I’m hesitating between a couple to be…

Pretty Boy Detective Club ep8 – Zashiki-warashi

Posted on May 30, 2021May 30, 2021 by Irina

I really like zashiki-warashi. For one, I have an interest in yokai in general but I’m also a coward so a cute little Yokai that will play a few pranks then bring me good luck is going to rank really high in my book. I have also noticed that I tend to really like all…

Shadows House episode 8 – Revelation

Posted on May 30, 2021May 29, 2021 by Irina

What an ending! Not just in content, I’ll get to that, but in visual conception. The scene of Edward sitting at an off-white baby grand in the middle of a green garden with workers in the background was already great by itself. The snippet was fantastic. It had some wonderful colours and an absolutely bonkers…

Pretty Boy Detective Club ep7 – Constellation

Posted on May 23, 2021May 27, 2021 by Irina

In retrospect, this was probably my favourite arc of Pretty Boy Detective Club. At least so far. I’m having the inverse reaction that most people are having, as the show gets increasingly more abstract and really more like a piece of performative art rather than an actual story, I’m liking it more and more. I…

Shadows House episode 7 – Sunshine

Posted on May 23, 2021May 27, 2021 by Irina

We are already past the halfway mark of a really good season of anime. I think Demon Lord is my least favourite and I don’t hate it. Everything else has been at minimum enjoyable. And Shadows House is pretty high on that list. I was honestly a bit sad when I found out last week…

Phantom Tales of the Night – Manga First Impression

Posted on May 17, 2021May 27, 2021 by Irina

So lately I’ve been ordering a lot of manga. I’m in the mood to discover my next big manga love story. I’ve also not been reading as much webcomics. At least not family-friendly ones. As such, I figured I would switch my webtoon recommendations for manga first impressions until I build up a nice stock…

Pretty Boy Detective Club ep6 – Masterpiece

Posted on May 16, 2021May 27, 2021 by Irina

The actual title of this week’s episode of Pretty Boy Detective Club is The Pretty Boy in the Attic. That’s a great title. It’s super silly and evocative. I would pick up a movie or book called The Pretty Boy in the Attic. But I also wonder if it’s a nod to Edogawa’s Watcher/Stalker/Stroller in…

Shadows House episode 6 – Proposal

Posted on May 16, 2021May 27, 2021 by Irina

Oh boy, oh man, oh my! Things are afoot, plots are thickening but we still don,t have any answers. I love a mystery, so tis works for me. And I feel like the presentation and execution of Shadows House leads me to beleive that the story isn’t just stumblng about blindly and this is all…

Pretty Boy Detective Club ep5 – Thin Air

Posted on May 9, 2021May 8, 2021 by Irina

It was such a passionate shoutout that I had to beleive it was the main topic. You see now, ladies and gentlemen, here is the crux of the issue. After a whole 5 episodes, almost half of the season, I still cannot tell you with any degree of certainty what the main topic of Pretty…
