Shinryaku! Ika Musume – Final Review

January 20, 2011 by Chikorita157 3 Comments

Shinryaku! Ika Musume is the second most enjoyable comedy show besides Milky Holmes from the fall 2010 season. The show involves a squid in human form with the desire to invade human kind. Popular culture depicts squids as villains and typically uses their tentacles in a naughty manner. On the other hand, a human form of a squid is really cute and seems so harmless that everyone abuses him/her. Humanity in the past and present continues to be a big jerk to mother nature. This is proven with the BP Oil Spill, the biggest man-made environmental disasters that most people have already forgotten. Regardless, I really enjoyed the show with the character driven comedy and watching Ika do really funny things that it gave me a smile. (Image Source)

Taste Test Part I-II – Rio: Rainbow Gate! (SCCSAV Livewatch)

January 12, 2011 by Chikorita157 6 Comments

rio-ep2-scr1 — This is probably one of the cutest ferrets I seen that is not in a Magical Girl show...

Many people in the blogosphere have been talking about Rio: Rainbow Gate, one of the shows some consider to be “so bad it’s good”. Do I agree with them? Not really since I watched the show with Roghek from the SCCSAV over Skype. Overall, my impressions about the show went south. The show was so bad it was terrible because there are so many fundamental problems with it, which I want to share.

Just to be clear, I am criticizing the show based on the two episodes I have seen, not bashing it.

Tantei Opera Milky Holmes – Final Review

January 12, 2011 by Chikorita157 4 Comments

Tantei Opera Milky Holmes is probably one of the most unexpected gems in the Fall 2010 season. While the first episode gave me a mediocre impression, it only got better with every episode. On top of that, you have these wacky heroes that do really funny cute things. In addition, you got the absolutely hilarious villains, especially Twenty who can’t keep off his shirt. Besides from that, I want to share my thoughts about Milky Holmes as a complete season. (Image Source)

It seems that this year winter season has so many shows with lolis that I couldn’t keep count. Besides Madoka, there is Gosick, which is a mystery story that involves a Gothic Lolita girl and an ordinary boy solving various mysteries.

madoka-ep1-scr1 — This is the right way to wake up a sleepy person!

Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica (also known as Puella Magi Modoka Magica in Latin) has to be one of most anticipated Magical Girl in the 2011 Winter Season. This show has some similarities with Nanoha since Akiyuki Shinbo directs this show. Subsequently I enjoyed the show and wish to share my thoughts about the first episode.

January 5, 2011 by Chikorita157 8 Comments

Many have suggested me to watch this show ever since I have watched K-ON!!. That series was Aria, a scientific fiction slice of life, which had some similarities to the mentioned title minus the excess moe. Nevertheless, I enjoyed the first two episodes with its nice animation, music and a interesting story. Therefore, I have to share my thoughts about Aria the Animation, the first season of the series.

2011 New Years Resolutions and What to Expect

January 1, 2011 by Chikorita157 7 Comments

In my last post, I focused on specific important and influential moments that happened on my blog and the aniblogosphere in 2010. In my opinion, 2010 was a good year for blogging, but how about 2011? There are many things I want to accomplish for New Year, but not everything can be done. It’s more like goals instead of resolutions since most people usually break it. Besides doing better in college, these are the five goals/resolutions I wish to achieve for the New Year. (Image Source)

December 24, 2010 by Chikorita157 6 Comments

Once upon a time there is a Secret Santa Project hosted by Reverse Thieves in the Anime Blogosphere. This projects works by sending your application with your list of Anime you have watched and like. On the other side, a person receives your list and suggests three shows to watch and you pick one to review. Most of you have already seen the list of Anime I have suggested at my side blog, Shiori’s Diary. From the list of shows I was suggested, I decided to watch Haibane Renmei, which is a 2002 slice of life Anime made by Radix. (Image Source)

Twelve Moments in Anime 2010 – #7 – Ookami-san and the cute Tsundere Wolf

December 18, 2010 by Chikorita157 Leave a Comment

In the 7^th Anime Moment for this year, I will be focusing on Ookami-san. While I have some mixed feelings about the show, it was rather entertaining since it had a really violent tsundere named Ookami Ryoko. While not too different from other tsundere stories that JC Staff makes, it has fairy tale characters as its cast, which made it pretty interesting. (Image Source)
