Gosick – Episodes 16 ~ 18 – Brief Thoughts
Reflection & Review: Madoka Magica is still Captivating.
Ever since the finale of Madoka Magica, which aired two months ago, the series has definitely become one of the most captivating and memorable show of 2011 in my opinion. While Madoka has some of the traditional magical elements, it had a darker story filled with despair that made the overall premise rather interesting. Despite the minor flaws in storytelling, the show has definitely redefined certain aspects of the magical girl genre (Image Source).

On Taste Testing and Dropping Anime: My Anime Viewing Experiences.
Just a few days ago, a blog post at the Behind the Nihon Review had myself thinking about the usefulness of the three-episode test I have been using for the past three seasons and questioning the rationale of dropping Anime. As we all know, fans have different tastes and expectations when it comes to the shows they watch. After I took a look of the three episode taste tests and the number of shows I dropped in the past two years, its quite obvious that dropping Anime is rather difficult for myself and I havenât found a good reason to do so (Image Source).

Review: PokÃĐmon White
For a long time, PokÃĐmon has been one of the most influential franchises that got me interested in Anime. Ever since I played PokÃĐmon Blue back in the late 90s, the games have refined themselves during the years.
After reviewing Pokemon HeartGold nearly a year ago, PokÃĐmon Black and White, the fifth generation of PokÃĐmon were released two months ago bringing stunning graphics, eye catching battle animations, new game mechanics, PokÃĐmon and story. Since I played over 200 hours of PokÃĐmon White, I felt that itâs finally time to share my thoughts about the game overall. (Image Source)

Ore-tachi ni Tsubasa wa Nai – Episode 4
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.
