I’m not Doing This Because I Like You or Anything – Thoughts about The Tsundere Archetype

November 8, 2013 by Chikorita157 4 Comments

Artist: tachitsu teto

Believe it or not, one of my favorite character archetypes has always been the tsundere. While I have read other’s opinions about this in the past, I felt the need to share my thoughts since not all tsunderes are created equal and that these characters usually have interesting character development that make them enjoyable.

Pokemon Y – Final Review

October 29, 2013 by Chikorita157 8 Comments

Artist: hirako

It’s have been a long time since I reviewed a Pokémon Game. When I got a Japanese version of Pokémon Black 2 back in June of last year, although I enjoyed it, I felt that it didn’t 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 didn’t 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 Pokémon X and Y with its transition to full 3D.

Anime and Video Games – Finding the Balance

October 23, 2013 by Chikorita157 4 Comments

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)

Last Saturday, Pokémon X and Y has finally released everywhere. While I didn’t look at most of the press releases on some of the new features in this game, I was certainly excited.

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 (超次元ゲームネプチューヌ) 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.
