Horimiya with IriMoya – episode 7 — I drink and watch anime

This episode might have been just okay to Irina and myself, but well...here's my reminder to everyone to always check for more content after the ED, after having been reminded myself! Also, I really look forward to Irina's snow sculpture. You're going to make it happen, right, Irina!? Let’s start with the most important! How…

Horimiya with IriMoya: Episode 6

Watching an episode called “This Summer’s Going to be a Hot One” in the middle of a (finally) snowy winter is interesting. And happy Valentine’s, by the way! This episode review of one of our season’s cutest romance came in at the right time. How are you doing over there, Irina? Irina: Happy Valentine’s day…

Horimiya with IriMoya – episode 5

I actually tweeted right after this episode that Horimiya is in fact a traditional romance but only the cute parts. Apparently, that’s what I like! But before we get started, let’s catch up with the always very cute Moya. How are you, Moya? Enjoying winter finally coming? I am. Moar sno plz! No snow for…

Horimiya with IriMoya: Episode 4

Back for another episode of Horimiya with Irina. How are you doing, Irina? I’m doing great! Thanks for asking! I hope you and the readers are doing just as great. Even better, in fact! "Better"...I wouldn't dare to hope so myself, but pretty fine, that's for sure. Yup, hope everyone reading this is staying nice…

[Highlights] Kino’s Journey Ep. 8 (Land of Wizards)

An episode that takes a simple idea and explores it in a refreshing way. Probably not among the strongest of Kino's episodes, but there's a bit going for this one too. Old wizard's warehouse There's nothing too distinct about the Land of Wizards as a whole, other than that one or two "wizards" with mysterious…

Horimiya with IriMoya – episode 3

Check out Ep. 3 of my Horimiya collab with Irina, where we continue to fangirl over a genre neither of us used to care about, celebrate wholesome friendships, and speculate about the anime's totally intentional connection to Canadian immigrants. This show is going to give me an existential crisis. What am I just someone who…

Horimiya with Iri-Moya: Episode 2

Episode 2 of Horimiya, reviewed by me and Irina from I Drink and Watch Anime! So happy to have her back here as a special guest~ Neither of us bothered to come up with a clever title for the collab's first episode, but Irina messaged me earlier in the week with this brilliant pun, so…

Towering Genius: the Creation and Judgment of a Dessert Frankenstein

You might be a little baffled by this totally extra title, or perhaps you're already so used to my content that you didn't stop to wonder why I didn't even bother using an anime GIF to justify this post's occurrence. But dear readers, I have something sweet for you... Imagine that you ran into a…

[Anime X-Change] Senki Zesshou Symphogear – A Review in 6 Songs

This December, I took part in Jon Spencer's Anime X-Change event, where I recommended one anime to someone and received a recommendation from them in return. My partner, William Dunn, recommended the first season of Symphogear to me! It was quite a ride - I can't say I loved the show, but it has its…

Moya’s Random Weekend at the Movies

Let's face it, when I'm not posting episodic reviews, my blog is already a roulette of unpatterned content. But today, I have something deliberately, meticulously random for you...and it's not about anime (for the most part). You see, I don't actually watch all that many non-anime movies or TV shows. Actually, I haven't actually seen…
