Status of the Aniblogosphere in 2012 – Haitus = Dead Blog?!

December 4, 2012 by Chikorita157 10 Comments

Artist: nakada rumi

Just recently, the current state of the Anime Blogosphere doesn’t look great with a good number of blogs dying. In the last three months, We Remember Love, Kaminarianime, and Otaku Life: Anime Review hanged up their hats and call it quits (Moe Fundamentalism decided to go on hiatus before the author reversed the decision quite recently). Judging from my blogroll, there are 6 blogs that haven’t updated since October.

From the look of things, did the Mayans predict that December 21, 2012 is the end of Anime Blogging as we know it? Maybe, or probably we are overreacting. In a recent twitter conversation between Marow, Marth and myself concerning how long blogs last after Morrow mentioned a blog that only lasted two months (full conversation here), It gave me some thoughts where the blogosphere is heading. Early this year, I have covered quite a lot on blog longevity and the reason why blogs die. However, I would like to go over the current trends since there is a good number of blogs spontaneously dropping dead from the sky, which currently gives us this disturbing trend. (Image Source)

Discovering New Anime and Personal Experiences

November 22, 2012 by Chikorita157 2 Comments

Just over a year ago, I shared my viewing experiences and taste testing shows. People might be wondering how do I discover new shows. It’s a good question since I’m picky and I don’t have time to watch everything. Therefore, I use several means in choosing what shows to watch at any given time, which I will share. (Image Source)

Kyoto Animation and Why They Remained Successful

November 16, 2012 by Chikorita157 3 Comments


Believe it or not, sometimes a studio that animates a particular show sometimes brings appeal to a work. As seen with the likes of Studio Shaft, Production IG, PA Works, Sunrise and Kyoto Animation, they add something unique. Most notably, Kyoto Animation from the past several years has gained a lot of praise for its production values. This is more so with the airing of Hyouka and now Chuunibyou demo Koi ga Shitai this year.  I felt that they do deserve the praise for various reasons as they pay attention to detail, bringing appeal to the characters and their ability to make faithful adaptations.

iDOLM@STER Shiny Festa – First Impressions

November 10, 2012 by Chikorita157 Leave a Comment

As The iDOLM@STER franchise becomes more popular, especially after the anime that aired last year, Namco feels the need to make a new game. That game is iDOLM@STER Shiny Festa, which focuses more on the rhythm aspect rather than the managing from the main games. Like the first PSP games, each edition contains different idols and exclusive songs (at least 6 songs are included in all the games). (Image Source)

Mitt Romney on Papa no Iukoto o Kikinasai

November 3, 2012 by Chikorita157 Leave a Comment

As Mitt Romney, the former governor of Massachusetts trails in the polls against President Barack Obama days before the election, he tries to connect with the middle class, which he is losing support. Therefore, we got three questions from a financially struggling college student named Yuuta Segawa [1. I thought Papa Kiki was somewhat fitting for Romney since he is a Mormon] who is currently taking care of three young girls. He wants us to publish the answers on my blog. At the same time, I have asked Romney if he wants to answer them. He accepted the offer, so we are now revealing the answers to them.

Note: This is a satire piece and it’s not meant to offend anyone’s political positions.

Hurricane Status Update

October 31, 2012 by Chikorita157 4 Comments

For the past day, I have been without any power, cell service and Internet as the hurricane knocked all those out. I want to let everyone know that I’m okay. I just won’t be sure when I will regain access to the Internet, but once it comes back, I will start publishing a backlog of post.

For now, stay safe.

Update (2012年11月1日): Cell Service is finally restored, so I can communicate with the outside world and make a few posts. I may go on campus this weekend if the power doesn’t return tomorrow to write up Chuunibyou Episode 5 since I can’t download anything on my phone.
