Anime and the Perception in the West

February 28, 2012 by Chikorita157 8 Comments

While I was lurking around the Internet, a particular post at the Project iM@S forums has caught my attention since it has a close relation to the Anime Fandom besides just Japanese games.

Mouretsu Pirates – Episode 8 – The Princess’s Request

February 26, 2012 by Chikorita157 2 Comments
This is how I felt after watching this episode. Not really, but still...

Thankfully, something new will come out of this besides committing insurance fraud and doing a stage act.

Tantei Opera Milky Holmes Second Season – Episode 5 – The Mystery of the Trench Coat

February 23, 2012 by Chikorita157 Leave a Comment
I'm using Milky Holmes's picketing for my own agenda against the wealthy 1 percent! Take that Fox Noise!

In the last two weeks, I have mentioned about having to put Milky Holmes Second Season on hiatus due to lack of subs with the stream being two episodes behind. Since niconico has finally caught up a bit more and gave us Episode 5, it’s even crazier than what happened in the last episode.

Anime, Blogging and Life – Enjoying and Managing Time

February 21, 2012 by Chikorita157 12 Comments


In this week’s editorial, I decided to take up a topic in the blogosphere that is relatively important with any Anime fan: “How does one fits time to watch shows while juggling with college or work?” Given that I have managed to survive three years and made over 830 posts about Anime, you wonder how the hell I manage that when college gives you a lot of work to do. I’ll share my experiences on how I find free time to watch shows and blog while doing well in college. (Image Source)

Chikorita157’s Anime Blog 3rd Year Anniversary – Still Alive and Kicking…

February 17, 2012 by Chikorita157 18 Comments

It feels like yesterday since I started blogging back in 2009 during my freshman year of college. Since then, the overall anime blogosphere landscape changed a lot since then.  I saw some bloggers quitting/going on an endless hiatus along with others starting new blogs replacing the dead ones. Also during these years, I got to know a good number of bloggers in the blogosphere and fans. For that, I feel that this is a good time to look back and comment on it. (Image Source)

Winter 2012 Anime Midseason Impressions

February 15, 2012 by Chikorita157 2 Comments

If you notice the lack of weekly Anime Digests, it’s mostly because I didn’t have much to say for the past two weeks. Therefore, I’m won’t be doing them until the spring season. For now, the focus is now on the midseason impressions for the current season.

Compared to last year, this year has been pretty underwhelming season considering that we had two great shows (Madoka Magica and Hourou Musuko), which you may already have fresh in your mind. Nevertheless, I managed to find shows that entertained me for the season, so it’s not that big of a deal. (Image Source)

Working’!! (Second Season) – Final Review

February 9, 2012 by Chikorita157 Leave a Comment

I have to admit that while the first season of Working had some flaws, it was one of the most enjoyable comedies because every worker had a quirk that contributed to it. With the second season completed back in December, it improved a lot while showing more of what I liked about the whole show. (Image Source)

Anime and Video Gaming: How they changed everything…

February 7, 2012 by Chikorita157 8 Comments

Like Anime, video games had played a big role in my life after I was introduced to it during my childhood. After some thought, I felt the need to share my experiences with video games and how it influenced me to watch Anime since these two mediums are closely related to each other. Not surprisingly, most anime fans are probably gamers as well. (Image Source)

Journey of Self-Studying Japanese – Casual (Short) Forms

February 4, 2012 by Chikorita157 2 Comments


Despite finishing the grammar in the first book, I have to admit that I fell behind because I played too much Idolmaster 2 instead of studying Japanese. Since the spring semester started about three weeks ago, I’m playing catch up and hopefully I can cover lost ground. Either way, this self-study progress will only focus on the short/casual forms.
