Anime and Japanese Music… and Favorite Artists – 1 Year Later
For a long time, I have an interest in music ever since I played Piano and Clarinet when I was in high school. When I started to watch Anime again back in 2008, I have already established an interest towards Japanese music with Pokémon that simply grew beyond what I have listened to.
Several months after I posted my favorite artists last year, I guest reviewed several Anime related singles on Anime Instrumentality Blog. In addition, I have listened to other singers’ songs, which kind of redefined my perceptions of Anime Music a bit more. So, further ado, I want to share my updated favorite artists and music I have listened up to now (Image Source).

Taste Test Part III – Nichijou

Reflection: 1 Year of AniBlog Tourney… Aniblogosphere’s Death is highly exaggerated.
I can’t believe a whole year has passed by with the Aniblog Tourney happening 1 year ago. If you are new to the Aniblogsphere, the Aniblog Tourney was a competition with 96 blogs being assigned to a specific division in pairs randomly. When the poll for each division opens, people look at both blogs and then vote for the better blog to go on to the next round. While the tournament is mostly a popularity contest towards the end, it allowed for constructive criticism, which was helpful for bloggers to improve their blogs.
The competition between my blog and Anime Princess was a very close one with a few percentages off from losing. Ever since the Aniblog Tourney, I have taken an initiative to improve my writing, the blog design and accessibility. Eventually, I brought a domain name and moved to paid hosting several months later to make a bigger presence in the blogosphere. (Image Source)

Hanasaku Iroha – Episode 3 – Second Coming of OreImouto-like Outrage?
Like the outrage that happened with Ore no Imouto Episode 4, it seems that the aniblogosphere has started the outrage machine again over brief fanservice scenes, the perverseness of Jiroumaru and sudden lighthearted mood of Hanasaku Iroha Episode 3. I believe that this outrage is misguided considering that a slice of life story in my opinion is never meant to be completely consistent.

Gosick – Episode 12 – Cuteness of Victorica
It’s summer time and you know what this means. Beach Episode?
…
Taste Test Part II – Hanasaku Iroha
No matter how much effort Ohana puts into her work, there is one thing about her that astonishes me. She is so independent that she refuses to cooperate with others, which causes silly mistakes.
…
Taste Test Part II – Nichijou
Episode 2 of Nichijou is more of the same with the addition of very familiar gaming consoles shown in some of the scenes.
…
Taste Test Part I – A Channel
A Channel is yet another “girls doing cute things” show, but just with different girls and a loli that makes things rather interesting.
…
Taste Test Part I – Ore-tachi ni Tsubasa wa Nai
With a show like Ore-tachi ni Tsubasa wa Nai that is based off a Visual Novel by Navel, you can foresee what will happen in this episode. If you guess gratuitous amounts of panty shots and fanservice, then you are correct!

Taste Test Part I – Hanasaku Iroha
After the rather disappointing production of Angel Beats, things can only get better for PA Works. When I have watched the first episode of Hanasaku Iroha, the show has already exceeded my expectations.

Going Crazy over Gosick – Episodes 8-11 Brief Thoughts
