Hyperdimension Neptunia the Animation – Final Review

October 2, 2013 by Chikorita157 4 Comments

Artist: tsunako

Back in the 80s and 90s, there was a heated console war between Sega and Nintendo with Sony and eventually Microsoft joining in the fray. In 2009, Compile Heart decided a game called Hyperdimension Neptunia (čķ…æŽĄå…ƒã‚ēマムネプチãƒĨマヌ) that personified each console (Sega Neptune, Nintendo Wii, Playstation 3 and the Xbox 360) as cute girls. When they announced an Anime from the two games, I decided to take a look.

The Art of Making Anime from Video Games

September 28, 2013 by Chikorita157 2 Comments

Artist: kinta

In a post that Kai as posted this week about how video game is adapted into a show. While I have shared my thoughts about anime adaptations and challenges involved with it, video game adaptations are a different story as the experience is not static. As adaptations of video games (excluding visual novels) become more popular as seen adaptations of The Idolmaster, Persona 4 and Neptunia, how do they achieve this while making it enjoyable?

Perceiving Anime as “Too Old”

September 17, 2013 by Chikorita157 3 Comments

Artist: mutsuki (moonknives)

In a recent topic that Yumeka focused on an interesting topic on why people feel that Anime made in the early years are considered too old. If we look at modern Anime today and compare it to the one’s in the 90s or early 2000s, we already seen that the medium gone such a long way from being something niche to going the main stream. While I’m not going to go compare the trends from each time period in detail, I want to share my reasons why people perceive some Anime as “too old” and if this feeling is subjective or not?

Japanese Role Playing Games: Why They aren’t being Localized?

September 10, 2013 by Chikorita157 4 Comments

Artist: tsunako

After watching a video about someone’s thoughts about Japanese RPGs and the losing popularity of the genre in the west, it got me wondering why this is the case because Japanese video game developers are becoming more reluctant to localize more releases. I think there are some reasons why they feel this way. (Image Source)
