Taste Test Part II and III – Hidan no Aria

April 30, 2011 by chikorita157 2 Comments

I think I got a moe nosebleed~ from this...

It doesn’t matter how tsuntsun Aria is, she is determined to activate Kinji’s hidden power… Sadly, her attempt to do so kind of fails in the process.

Anime and Japanese Music… and Favorite Artists – 1 Year Later

April 28, 2011 by chikorita157 7 Comments


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

April 21, 2011 by chikorita157 1 Comment

Yukko must be having a really bad day!

While I wait for the live watching of Madoka Magica Episodes 11-12, I decided to watch a more ordinary slice of life comedy of Nichijou.

Reflection: 1 Year of AniBlog Tourney… Aniblogosphere’s Death is highly exaggerated.

April 20, 2011 by chikorita157 14 Comments

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)

Oh Meme, I can never get tired of you....

While Madoka’s final two episodes are finally finished and set to air this week, Shaft has been working hard with their next light novel adaptation of Denpa Onna to Seishun Otoko.

Hanasaku Iroha – Episode 3 – Second Coming of OreImouto-like Outrage?

April 18, 2011 by chikorita157 5 Comments

Our heroine of this episode...

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.
