Winter 2013 Season Preview Thoughts

January 5, 2013 by Chikorita157 Leave a Comment
This is what I was doing during Winter Break: Playing Video Games and Study Japanese.
This is what I was doing during Winter Break: Playing Video Games and Studying Japanese.

Since I got so many games for Christmas and played with them for so many hours that I totally forgot to write a Winter Preview.  So, it wouldn’t hurt to share what I plan to watch a few days late.

As always, I start with a few shows before tacking on additional ones.

Atelier Meruru – First Impressions – Iyashikei of Item Crafting

January 3, 2013 by Chikorita157 4 Comments

Artist: cocorip

In the past, I have written some initial impressions or full reviews of video games from Japan. Of course, most of what I covered is ones related to Anime such as the Idolmaster games and Pokémon. Now I’m going to do something slightly different and share my thoughts about a pretty obscure game called Atelier Meruru. (Image Source)

The Best and Worst of 2012 Anime

December 29, 2012 by Chikorita157 6 Comments

Artist: naruse

As 2012 finally comes to an end, I felt that this year is rather subdued for Anime. Although there were some Anime that received some rave reviews that I didn’t watch, I was still satisfied by what I have already watched. Not only that, I only dropped one show this year compared to two in 2011. Still, there were some disappointments, which I want to go over.

For now, I will list my top whatever lists of best Anime in 2012 along with some disappointing/worst ones. (Image Source)

Merry Christmas!!

Artist: satou aoi

For those who celebrate, I wish everyone a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays [1. Take that Fox News who thinks that there is a so-called “War on Christmas“]. Be sure to check out my last 12 Days of Anime post. There is no Secret Santa review this year since I didn’t have the time to do it this year.

Just as a note, I won’t be blogging tomorrow like I done in previous years. I will resume on Wednesday the earliest. For now so along and Happy Birthday to Nagisa and Yukiho, whose birthday lies on Christmas. (Image Source)
