May 15, 2011 by Chikorita157 Leave a Comment
Riko is so desperate to get him to react!

With the Butei Killer still at large and Kinji desire to quit being a Butei, it leaves Aria no choice but to leave. What she doesn’t realize is that there is someone malicious waiting on the charter plane.

Review: Pokémon White

May 13, 2011 by Chikorita157 Leave a Comment

For a long time, Pokémon has been one of the most influential franchises that got me interested in Anime.  Ever since I played Pokémon Blue back in the late 90s, the games have refined themselves during the years.

After reviewing Pokemon HeartGold nearly a year ago, Pokémon Black and White, the fifth generation of Pokémon were released two months ago bringing stunning graphics, eye catching battle animations, new game mechanics, Pokémon and story. Since I played over 200 hours of Pokémon White, I felt that it’s finally time to share my thoughts about the game overall. (Image Source)

Hanasaku Iroha – Episode 6 – Clothing Challenge!

May 12, 2011 by Chikorita157 1 Comment
Do we have to wear these outfits?

Of course, it’s challenge!

In the past several years, business at the Kissuisou inn has been declining for several years… In effort to bring in more potential customers Takako, a business consultant issues an outrageous challenge that Ohana apparently accepts.

Ore-tachi ni Tsubasa wa Nai – Episode 4

May 10, 2011 by Chikorita157 2 Comments
Things looks intense for Hayato...

For the past few days, I stopped posting since I have to study for three rather important exams. As a result, I fell behind in so many shows. Since exams will be completely done after Wednesday, I will be spending most of my time catching up on my backlog and playing Portal 2.

As for Episode 4 of Ore-tachi ni Tsubasa wa Nai, I have to admit that it was definitely a step up compared to the last three episodes as they finally cleared up the situation with the male leads. Of course, the loli makes a well-deserved and brief appearance.

Episode 3 cannot possibly get any more disappointing than the last episode. Sadly, the episode was extremely boring and unexciting that I practically fell asleep…

Minko wearing a pretty dress will always be a dream... She is just too feisty.

After the big commotion over Episode 3, everything seems to go back on track with Ohana settling to the new school for the first time. Later, Minko reveals that she has a crush on Tohru, which she is somewhat insecure about.

Anime and Japanese Music… and Favorite Artists – 1 Year Later

April 28, 2011 by Chikorita157 7 Comments


For a long time, I have an interest in music ever since I played Piano and Clarinet when I was in high school. When I started to watch Anime again back in 2008, I have already established an interest towards Japanese music with Pokémon that simply grew beyond what I have listened to.

Several months after I posted my favorite artists last year, I guest reviewed several Anime related singles on Anime Instrumentality Blog. In addition, I have listened to other singers’ songs, which kind of redefined my perceptions of Anime Music a bit more. So, further ado, I want to share my updated favorite artists and music I have listened up to now (Image Source).

Reflection: 1 Year of AniBlog Tourney… Aniblogosphere’s Death is highly exaggerated.

April 20, 2011 by Chikorita157 14 Comments

I can’t believe a whole year has passed by with the Aniblog Tourney happening 1 year ago. If you are new to the Aniblogsphere, the Aniblog Tourney was a competition with 96 blogs being assigned to a specific division in pairs randomly. When the poll for each division opens, people look at both blogs and then vote for the better blog to go on to the next round. While the tournament is mostly a popularity contest towards the end, it allowed for constructive criticism, which was helpful for bloggers to improve their blogs.

The competition between my blog and Anime Princess was a very close one with a few percentages off from losing. Ever since the Aniblog Tourney, I have taken an initiative to improve my writing, the blog design and accessibility.  Eventually, I brought a domain name and moved to paid hosting several months later to make a bigger presence in the blogosphere. (Image Source)

Hanasaku Iroha – Episode 3 – Second Coming of OreImouto-like Outrage?

April 18, 2011 by Chikorita157 5 Comments
Our heroine of this episode...

Like the outrage that happened with Ore no Imouto Episode 4, it seems that the aniblogosphere has started the outrage machine again over brief fanservice scenes, the perverseness of Jiroumaru and sudden lighthearted mood of Hanasaku Iroha Episode 3. I believe that this outrage is misguided considering that a slice of life story in my opinion is never meant to be completely consistent.

Ohana is so enthusiastic... Nako on the other hand.... well.

No matter how much effort Ohana puts into her work, there is one thing about her that astonishes me. She is so independent that she refuses to cooperate with others, which causes silly mistakes.

So many girls to choose...

With a show like Ore-tachi ni Tsubasa wa Nai that is based off a Visual Novel by Navel, you can foresee what will happen in this episode. If you guess gratuitous amounts of panty shots and fanservice, then you are correct!

After the rather disappointing production of Angel Beats, things can only get better for PA Works. When I have watched the first episode of Hanasaku Iroha, the show has already exceeded my expectations.
