When they fight with each other, disasters happen.

For a while now, I have always wondered about the elemental fairies since they receive a good amount of screen time (besides the mascots of course) and that each girl has a unique personality. At last, they finally get their own episode.

Now that Pokemon ORAS is now out, I have created a Live Blog over at my sideblog. I will announce when I start since I haven’t got my copy and I need to finish all my classwork before Thanksgiving (so I can spend most of my break playing games).

As for Amagi Brilliant Park, as of now, there is still no subs and it looks like it’s not coming out anytime soon, meaning that I will eventually cover it once it releases (can’t watch the RAWs since I won’t understand all of it). Comes to worst, I’ll combine it in next weeks post for that show.

Reminiscing about Pokemon Ruby and Sapphire – Memories and Favorite Aspects

It has been over 10 years since Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire released in America. Even though Generation III was not my favorite generation, there were many aspects that I liked. Since Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire releases tomorrow, the best way to share my anticipation for the new remakes is to look back at the original games and share some memories I have with it.

Thoughts about the 2D Animation vs. 3D/CGI debate with Anime

November 12, 2014 by Chikorita157 13 Comments

Artist: dry-man

A recent episode of Shirobako has brought up an interesting topic regarding the whole 2D Animation vs 3D Animation/Computer Generated Images debate and how should Anime be made. This issue was so controversial that it almost pushed Endou to quit (besides Tarou’s incompetence).

The 2D vs 3D/CGI debate has been a passionate one for the fact that most Anime have 2D animation. As technology improves, animation studios might be eager to adopt 3D/CGI as a way to make it flashier while cut production costs. By doing so, something gets lost in the process, which is why this debate is so passionate not only to fans, but people who work in the industry.

Thoughts on Tastes and Why There is No Such Thing as Good/Bad Taste

For a long time, I avoided sharing my views on how people view tastes in Anime since it is a controversial issue in the fandom. While some anime bloggers shared their thoughts on the issue, there are many reasons why I do not subscribe to the view there is such thing as good/bad tastes.

Ciel nosurge – First Impressions

Back in 2012, Gust who is known for their work on the Atelier franchise decided to make another series that is set in the same world as the Ar tonelico series. Since the Playstation Vita came out in February of 2012, they decided to experiment with this new handheld by creating a communication dating sim called Ciel nosurge (シェルノサージュ〜失われた星捧ぐ詩〜 lit. Ciel nosurge ~Song offered to the Lost Star~ ), which is played in real-time over the internet. This game can be described as Animal Crossing meets Love Plus with social elements thrown into it. They recently released an Offline version that removed the online requirements with all the DLC content included, thus making it possible for the player to play at his/her own pace.

While two versions of the game got released after the original (Re:Incarnation and Offline), they also created a sequel titled Ar nosurge, which came out this year in Japan and later got localized to English. I find it odd that they would release that game first considering that the sequel requires the player to finish most of Ciel nosurge in order to fully understand the story. Considering that this game is a niche title, not a role-playing game and is very text heavy, I can understand why Gust and Koei Tecmo aren’t willing to localize it. Even so, it seems that people are interested in this game. With that, I will share my initial impressions of the gameplay from the Offline version.
