What is this blog about?
Chikorita157’s Anime Blog is an anime blog started in February 2009. It focuses on various Japanese media such as anime, manga, and Japanese video games. I cover primarily shows that have a mostly female cast, female protagonists, Yuri, comedy, romance and drama. In addition, I also cover harem genre shows once in a while. Lastly, I write editorials covering topics related to anime, the fandom, the anime industry and other related topics once in a while.
If you want to follow me on social media, see the links on the bottom of this page. For blog related inquiries, send them to chikorita157animeblog at ateliershiori dot moe.
Non-anime related or short form posts are usually made over at Atelier Shiori.
History
This blog started as a hobby during my freshman year of college. It started when I got back into Anime after I stopped following the Pokémon anime for a while. I discovered Suzumiya Haruka, Lucky Star, Kanon and Clannad, which rekindled my interest in anime that went dormant in the early 2000s for obvious reasons. The rest is history as I figure out what types of shows I enjoy and such. To date, I completed 151 different titles, which equates to 35 days of Anime.
This blog originally started on some free hosting services. Eventually, I gained access to my own credit card and some allowance, allowing me to obtain better hosting. Presently, this blog is hosted on a virtual private server with BuyVM.

What shows do you watch?
You can see them on AniList or Kitsu. I do not maintain my MyAnimeList account due to the removal of their API, which I use to automate the updating of these lists.
