The iDOLM@STER – Episode 8 – Adventures of Azusa Miura… in a Wedding Dress!

September 10, 2011 by Chikorita157 4 Comments
It seems that everyone wants a piece of Azusa...

Sorry about that long delay… Since the subs got delayed for the past two weeks due to some extraordinary circumstances, I had to put this show off and watch some of my backlog. Gratefully, episodes 8 and 9 were finally released today, so I’m confident that I will get caught up by Monday.

As for this episode, Azusa getting lost and a group of bodyguards chasing after her was a fun experience. All of this happened with her wearing a nice-looking wedding dress.

Tantei Opera Milky Holmes – Summer Special – Kokoro Becomes an iDOLM@STER!

September 8, 2011 by Chikorita157 8 Comments
Oh god, what did they do to you, Kokoro-chan?

Well, sort of… It’s not like she had a choice or anything.

It felt like a long time since Tantei Opera Milky Holmes ended back in December of last year. This show was particularly fun not because the girls were adorable, but for the outright hilarious comedy that didn’t involve the overused tsundere archetypes.  With a second season coming next winter, I can only wonder about the shenanigans Milky Holmes and the Genius 4 will be up to.

For now, we have the summer special [1. The special took place between episodes 7 and 8.], which centers on Kokoro’s journey of becoming an idol shortly after the G4’s demotion for failing to capture Aresenè among other things.

Aria the Animation – Episode 4 – Ami’s Promise

September 5, 2011 by Chikorita157 2 Comments
This girl seems to want something...

For those in the United States, I hope everyone had a nice Labor Day and the last unofficial days of summer vacation. For me, I had some fun with my parents and sister as we went to Atlantic City to go dolphin watching and look at the ridiculously small aquarium. Afterwards, we went out to dinner, stay at a hotel and went home today. Although short, it was pretty fun.

On the other hand, Akari sets out on an adventure with Woody to send an old letter from a young girl that she made a promise with.

Not quite the greeting Akatsuki expected...

Since there is a recent shortage of iDOLM@STER subs, I decide to dive deeper into my backlog. I realized that I haven’t gotten too far in Aria the Animation since I only watched the first two episodes.  Of course, Episode 3 brought back the charm and happiness of the series with another young, but cute girl being introduced to the story.
