Aria the Animation – Episode 4 – Ami’s Promise

September 5, 2011 by Chikorita157 2 Comments
This girl seems to want something...

For those in the United States, I hope everyone had a nice Labor Day and the last unofficial days of summer vacation. For me, I had some fun with my parents and sister as we went to Atlantic City to go dolphin watching and look at the ridiculously small aquarium. Afterwards, we went out to dinner, stay at a hotel and went home today. Although short, it was pretty fun.

On the other hand, Akari sets out on an adventure with Woody to send an old letter from a young girl that she made a promise with.

September 2, 2011 by Chikorita157 2 Comments
Not quite the greeting Akatsuki expected...

Since there is a recent shortage of iDOLM@STER subs, I decide to dive deeper into my backlog. I realized that I haven’t gotten too far in Aria the Animation since I only watched the first two episodes.  Of course, Episode 3 brought back the charm and happiness of the series with another young, but cute girl being introduced to the story.

True Tears – Episode 1 & 2 (First Impressions)

August 15, 2011 by Chikorita157 Leave a Comment
This is not exactly the reaction he wanted from her.

For a while now, I wanted to watch True Tears, PA Works’s first production before they produced other anime such as Canaan, Angel Beats and the now airing Hanasaku Iroha. While the latter having a few similarities since Mari Okada worked on both series, the focus is primarily on the love triangle that slowly develops with Shinichiro and the two girls, Hiromi and Noe.

Best of Spring 2011 Anime Music

August 12, 2011 by Chikorita157 12 Comments

During the Fall 2010 Anime Season, I have taken a brief look of some the opening and ending songs I heard from the shows I were watching. Since I only covered a few shows last winter like Madoka Magica, Hourou Musuko and Fractale (Gosick is left out since the ending theme single came out in the spring), I decided not to focus on it. However, I have published a full review on Madoka Magica’s opening song, “Connect” at Anime Instrumentality and you should check it out!

For the Spring 2011 Season, there was a good number of opening and ending songs I liked. Out of the songs that released and listened to during spring, I liked “secret base ~kimi ga kureta mono~” (Ai Kayano, Haruka Tomatsu, Saori Hayami),  “Scarlet Knight” (Nana Mizuki), “Hazy” (sphere), “Scarlet Ballet” (May’n), and “Spread Wings” (Aki Misato). For each song, I will share my thoughts about them briefly. (Image Source)

Happy 22nd Birthday and chikorita157.com’s 1st Anniversary

August 9, 2011 by Chikorita157 14 Comments


With my 21st birthday quickly passing by us, I turn 22 years old today. Since my last birthday, lots have happened with my blogging of more Anime series, most namely Ore no Imouto, Madoka Magica, Wandering Son, Gosick, Hanasaku Iroha and Ikoku Meiro no Croisèe while facing a mild case of an overactive thyroid. In the first few months, I found it considerably difficult to blog while dealing with the autoimmune disease, but I eventually overcome it.

Besides that, my parents and sister are planning to take me out to celebrate my 22nd birthday. I have received a Nintendo 3DS as my birthday present in advance (a new iPhone has to wait) and planning to review it sometime this month. Besides this, feel free to share your birthday wishes in this post or on Twitter. I’ll post the birthday tweets on this post once the day is over.

In addition to my birthday, the domain I am using for this blog and everything else (chikorita157.com) finally turns 1 year old on August 11th. I felt that getting a domain name was a rite of passage to get more noticed and it was fairly affordable. Even so, I am planning to keep on maintaining the domain well into the future. (Image Source)
