Young Characters and School Settings – Why they are popular?
Back in 2009 when I started watching Anime, I started to notice a noticeable trend in Anime these days, It seems that most of these shows take place in a high school setting and usually star a young male or female character. While I think demographics play a big role in this, but there are cultural and other reasons why they do so. (Image Source)

Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;birth1 – First Impressions
Back in 2010, Compile Heart created a roleplaying game based on the console wars with video game consoles personified as cute girls in a game called Hyperdimension Neptunia (čķ

ãēãĪã ããããĨãžã). While it was an interesting concept, Idea Factory managed to mess it up. The first game shows this with obvious gamebreaking bugs, poor graphics for a PS3 game, difficulties trying to heal your characters among other things. They eventually realized how unfinished the first game was, so they remade it for the Vita. Since I received the game three weeks ago, I want to share my first impressions. (Image Source)

PokÃĐmon The Origin – Final Review
During my childhood, I used to watch the PokÃĐmon Anime. It was enjoyable seeing Ash/Satoshi use his Pikachu to defeat an Onix. Eventually, I lost interest in the show since it has a lot of filler episodes and for the fact that itâs loosely based off the games, especially when Ash/Satoshiâs Pikachu lost to a freaking Surskit in a recent episode!
On the other hand, Gamefreak decided to make short Anime special based off the original games titled PokÃĐmon The Origin staring Red and Blue (named Green in this Anime). With this new take on the PokÃĐmon Games, will it live up to its name? Perhaps. (Image Source)

Pokemon Y – Final Review
Itâs have been a long time since I reviewed a PokÃĐmon Game. When I got a Japanese version of PokÃĐmon Black 2 back in June of last year, although I enjoyed it, I felt that it didnât add much in terms of gameplay besides finishing what the prequels started. Not only that, even though I spent 380+ in the Generation V games, I didnât like the fact that none of my favorites (e.g. Eevee) was in the first game and that it took power creep to another level.  Generation V was a pretty big mess, especially considering permanent Sunny Day or Rain Dance. This is why I hardly did any wifi battles. With that, perhaps Game Freak finally realized the monster they just created and decided to fix that with PokÃĐmon X and Y with its transition to full 3D.

Anime and Video Games – Finding the Balance
Back in 2012, I shared my thoughts on how I manage to use my free time to do other things besides studying. While graduate years proved to be a bit more time-consuming compared to before, I never touch upon how much attention I put into watching Anime along with other hobbies such as video games. A certain post written by Yumeka from Anime Yume sparked my interest in writing this and expand my thoughts beyond the time management post. (Image Source)
