Ore-tachi ni Tsubasa wa Nai – Episode 7 – *Insert Overused Cake Joke Here*

May 31, 2011 by Chikorita157 5 Comments
Do not try this at home with your cakes!

The cake is a lie! Garuda (also known as Karura) wasted them on his so-called war against mankind!

I know… the cake jokes from Portal are hammered to death by now, but I just cannot resist.

On Taste Testing and Dropping Anime: My Anime Viewing Experiences.

May 26, 2011 by Chikorita157 15 Comments

Just a few days ago, a blog post at the Behind the Nihon Review had myself thinking about the usefulness of the three-episode test I have been using for the past three seasons and questioning the rationale of dropping Anime. As we all know, fans have different tastes and expectations when it comes to the shows they watch. After I took a look of the three episode taste tests and the number of shows I dropped in the past two years, its quite obvious that dropping Anime is rather difficult for myself and I haven’t found a good reason to do so (Image Source).

Review: Pokémon White

May 13, 2011 by Chikorita157 Leave a Comment

For a long time, Pokémon has been one of the most influential franchises that got me interested in Anime.  Ever since I played Pokémon Blue back in the late 90s, the games have refined themselves during the years.

After reviewing Pokemon HeartGold nearly a year ago, Pokémon Black and White, the fifth generation of Pokémon were released two months ago bringing stunning graphics, eye catching battle animations, new game mechanics, Pokémon and story. Since I played over 200 hours of Pokémon White, I felt that it’s finally time to share my thoughts about the game overall. (Image Source)

Ore-tachi ni Tsubasa wa Nai – Episode 4

May 10, 2011 by Chikorita157 2 Comments
Things looks intense for Hayato...

For the past few days, I stopped posting since I have to study for three rather important exams. As a result, I fell behind in so many shows. Since exams will be completely done after Wednesday, I will be spending most of my time catching up on my backlog and playing Portal 2.

As for Episode 4 of Ore-tachi ni Tsubasa wa Nai, I have to admit that it was definitely a step up compared to the last three episodes as they finally cleared up the situation with the male leads. Of course, the loli makes a well-deserved and brief appearance.

Episode 3 cannot possibly get any more disappointing than the last episode. Sadly, the episode was extremely boring and unexciting that I practically fell asleep…
