Chikorita157’s Anime Blog First Reader Survey

February 28, 2011 by Chikorita157 1 Comment

Since I have passed my second year milestone, it might be a good idea to have a reader survey to get some feedback on what I should improve in my third year of blogging. This survey will also give some Anime Interest questions. They are added to give me a good idea of the demographics of my readers. The survey is completely confidential and all the questions are completely optional. However, it’s in your best interest to answer all the questions

The survey is here and it will be open until March 15th.

For Fun: Everybody Hates Kyubey™

February 24, 2011 by Chikorita157 14 Comments

Oh Kyubey, you look so cute with the never changing cat smile. After Mami’s death, a lot of people including myself started to question Kyubey’s motives. Some people took it a step further and think that Kyubey is the devil, thus creating intensive hate. While I don’t agree with his views on morality, I want to explore some of the possible reasons why Everybody Hates Kyubey™ thus far. (Image Source)

Gosick – Episode 5

February 9, 2011 by Chikorita157 3 Comments

Gosick-Ep5-scr1 — Victorica never fails to impress me with her cuteness.

There is something fishy about Arvil since she acted so suspiciously from the last episode. This behavior from her could suggest that she is an imposter. If she is an imposter, where is the real Arvil hidden and what is the imposter’s true identity? Both of these questions will be resolved in this episode.

Rio: Rainbow Gate! ED Review – Miracle Chance

February 4, 2011 by Chikorita157

I have told everyone that Rio: Rainbow Gate is a really bad show not because of the fanservice, but the complete randomness. If the overall premise of the show is horrible, how about the music? Besides the opening theme, I took a look at the ending theme sung by ULTRA-PRISM, whom also created the Ika Musume OP. Sadly, “Miracle Chance” did not live up to my expectations since it felt so dull that it would put me to sleep. After reviewing it, I have absolutely no motivation to listen to the opening with the assumption that it would be absolutely mediocre too.

Next time, I’m going reviewing a good single instead of reviewing bad ones… Perhaps Kalafina’s Magica or something that would be enjoyable to review.

(Also, post your comments at Anime Instrumentality Blog.)

gosick-ep4-scr1 — It seems that every girl wants to get a piece of him.

Since the Queen Barry case was solved, Victorica falls into boredom and wants another mystery. It was not until Kazuya pleads for help that she gets one to solve that involves another transfer student from England that looks vaguely familiar.
