Cinnamon Bunzuh

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


Cinnamon Bunzuh! is a comedic Review Blog of the Animorphs series, published as instant messaging logs between the two authors, Ifi (the crazy sarcastic one), and Adam (the crazy analytic one).

The series is named after the way the character Ax pronounces "Cinnamon Bun" when he starts using a mouth for the first time.

The site also hosts the fanfiction Six Days the Animorphs Were Idiots, written by Ifi. (Link)

They also have a twitter account, found here: [1]

Tropes used in Cinnamon Bunzuh include:


"This book is really long, and we are lazy. Sorry folks!"

  • Author Appeal: Highlighted in the review of The Decision, with marine biology and Xenofiction for Adam, and cats for Ifi.
  • A Wizard Did It: How the duo handwave anything that is never really explained.
  • Brain Bleach: Needed after Adam puts some oh so delightful thoughts into Ifi's head concerning Jake in tiger-morph and his brother Tom.
    • And again, after an ever so lovely discussion about mites.
  • Cat Up a Tree: From The Change

Ifi: In other news, do you know the fire companies don't rescue cats from trees anymore?
Adam: I used to have a turtle. I could never get the fireman to come get him out of the tree either.

Ifi: Hilarity ensues
Ifi: And by hilarity, I mean first degree murder
Adam: And by first degree murder, you mean hilarity

  • Everything's Better with Dinosaurs: The only reason the duo could think of why the second Megamorphs book was written.
  • Flat What: Ifi's reaction after reading The Capture.
  • Harmless Villain: Visser Three is often described as this.
  • Humans Are Special: This trope is a frequent source of snark.
  • Incredibly Lame Pun: Adam, which even he is willing to admit to being thoroughly terrible.
  • Lampshade Hanging: Frequently.
  • Nerd Glasses: When portrayed, both authors are always drawn with oversized glasses.
  • Not So Different: The duo find Elfangor's actions in The Andalite Chronicles to be disturbingly similar to Visser Three's. Before he was even Visser Three!
  • One of Us: At least one of the authors frequents this very site.
  • Pink Girl, Blue Boy: Ifi's chat lines are in pink and Adam's are in blue.
  • "Previously On...": Adam and Ifi admit they usually skip the first couple of pages because of the recaps.
  • Running Gag: From Review 4 onward, JESUS WHALE pops up a lot.
  • Sarcastic Clapping: Written as "-slow clap-" but this is Ifi's reaction whenever the Animorphs do something really stupid.
  • Shout-Out: There are a lot of Captain Planet villians running around the 'verse, apparently.
  • Significant Birth Date: Accidental example, but Adam has the same birth day as Tobias. (May 25.)
  • Skewed Priorities: Adam jokes that Ifi's lack of $400 worth of Animorphs merchandise shows her lack of priorities.
  • Tender Tears: The ending to The Solution leaves Adam a sobbing wreck.
    • And then Ifi get a turn when she reads about how Jake wants nothing more then a normal life.
  • Tsundere: Adam briefly acts like a stereotypical Tsundere when Ifi starts acting "kawaii".
  • Watsonian Versus Doylist: Oftentimes an attempt to make up an in-universe explanation where none is provided will occur. That line of thought will be followed with something along the lines of "Applegate forgot about it."
