Cute Girls Eating Too Much – The Adorable Glutton Trope

Posted on January 11, 2023December 15, 2022 by Irina

Some time ago, I was watching a cute girl anime and there were a number of random scenes where the main character(s) just basically had a mukbang for no reason. Half a rando episode was just dedicated to cute girls eating huge amounts of food. And it seemed a bit odd because it was out…

Treasure Tropes : Kichiku

Posted on July 5, 2022July 5, 2022 by Irina

Wow, it’s been a while since I’ve done a treasure tropes post. These are posts in which I pick an anime or manga trope to examine. Today, I decided to look at the Kichiku. You may not have heard the term Kichiku before, but I bet you know the trope. The expression is meant to…

My 5 Least Favourite Anime Tropes

Posted on December 17, 2021August 27, 2021 by Irina

Normally I’m a person that really likes anime tropes. I find them comforting and it makes me feel like I’m really watching anime when I come across them. That last sentence is nonsense. Sheesh, you would think I’m being paid by the word! I’m not. I’m not being paid at all! Just to make it…

Top 5 Things Anime Lied to me About

Posted on November 19, 2021August 27, 2021 by Irina

Look, I’m not insane, I know anime isn’t real. I may secretly still be holding out hope I could magically visit it, but that’s a reasonable thing to do… It is! But you know, when you keep seeing and hearing the same thing over and over again, it sort of seeps into your subconscious and…

5 Things That Seem Way More Important to Anime Characters Than to Me

Posted on November 12, 2021August 27, 2021 by Irina

I just liked that gif I know a lot of it comes from culture clash and some are just old tropes, but anime characters sure get excited about some weird things sometimes. After so many years of watching Anime they don’t really register any more but still, I sometimes think it would be so weird…

The Completely Not Made Up History Of Anime Rainbow Vomit

Posted on May 12, 2020April 28, 2020 by Irina

So a few years ago I was watching KonoSuba and having a right old marvellous time at it, when Aqua, having had a few too many (girl after my own heart that one), had to duck into an alley and spew forth a glorious vibrant rainbow of too much fun. That’s when I realized that…

Irina Tries to Create a New Anime Genre (and fails)

Posted on January 20, 2020December 7, 2019 by Irina

You know how people sometimes argue about the relative superiority of certain genres (or the relative suckiness…) No? Trust me, they do. It’s a thing. I don’t know when it started or why, but it happens a lot.

Treasure tropes – Closed eyes Big Smile

Posted on November 27, 2019November 27, 2019 by Irina

I’m sure you’ve all come across a character that almost never seems to open his or her eyes (although in my experience it’s more commonly “his”). Although this could simply mean that the characters are squinting because they are short sighted, they do tend to have a few things in common that has little to…

Posted on September 30, 2019August 25, 2019 by Irina

I was going to go wit the Eyes Have It but it turns out that’s already a trope name and it referrers to something different. Booh!

Treasure Tropes : Red Oni, Blue Oni

Posted on September 11, 2019August 25, 2019 by Irina

I’m not sure when I started having this fascination with colours. It’s not like I wear any. But at some point, I started to really notice them in all things and particularly in cinema and anime. I do know that I’ve been fascinated with tropes since I was small. I would see archetypes come up…

Treasure Tropes

Posted on August 26, 2019August 18, 2019 by Irina

What is it about alliteration? it’s not like it’s rhyming or anything fun like that. Why do I enjoy it so? Treasure trope is a new series I’m hoping to actually keep up that where I will take a closer look at all my favourite anime tropes. Let me rephrase that, at all the anime…

Can Anime Character Tropes be Simultaneously Exploitative and Celebratory?

Posted on October 13, 2018September 28, 2018 by Irina

Well look at that. An actual subject with some substance to it. Well potentially. As usual of course, I don’t have an actual answer here. However, this is a subject that I believe deserves some consideration. I know that this is a theme that has implications that reach well beyond the specific realm of anime, but…

When Anger Management Issues Are a Feature Not a Bug – Thunderous Tsundere

Posted on September 26, 2018 by Irina

I’ve been wanting to write a post on dere archetypes forever. Since before I started this blog. You may think that’s super passé…o.k. it is sort of outdated. Everybody’s already shared their views on the subject. Especially on the Tsundere. There’s nothing left to say. Maybe no one will want to read this… Whatever, it’s…
