Gosick – Episode 3 – Defeat of the Hunting Dog and Hares’ Revenge

January 28, 2011 by Chikorita157 Leave a Comment
This is how the girls met each other and years later...

Since Victorica, Kazuya and Julie are the remaining survivors of the ship, they head to the radio room for help. Unfortunately, a psychopathic axe murderer targets them. After they were rescued, some details with the survivors of the Queen Barry ten years ago are revealed, which involves the possible motives in the murder case.

MM! – Final Review

January 25, 2011 by Chikorita157 4 Comments

It makes me wonder, was there an Anime that focused on sadomasochism with comedy and romance? Not until MM! started to air that featured it. When I watched the first episode, I wondered if MM! would be painful to watch since it’s about masochism. After a few episodes, I was proven wrong since the comedy is rather entertaining and the girls are cute. (Image Source)

Winter 2011 Anime Season Taste Test Score Card

January 24, 2011 by Chikorita157 Leave a Comment


Since the taste testing of the Winter 2011 Anime is coming to an end, the winter season is actually decent. Out of the 15 of so series that were airing, I decided to watch Madoka, Gosick and Hourou Musuko. In addition, I also tried out Rio: Rainbow Gate, but it didn’t turn out that great. (Image Source)

Taste Test Part II – Hourou Musuko

January 23, 2011 by Chikorita157 Leave a Comment
By the looks of this girl, she is pretty upset.

In the last episode of Hourou Musuko, we are introduced to Nitori and Takatsuki, which entered middle school. They have gender identity issues, which results in wearing clothes of the opposite gender. The first episode primarily focused on Nitori, a male crosdresser that felt accepted by people in the past. Unfortunately, things don’t stay the same since his sister bullies him when he crossdressed and everyone thinks that he’s sick. In this episode, the focus is on Takatsuki and her friends… in particular on Chiba Saori, which feels seemingly upset.

Taste Test Part III – Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica (SCCSAV Livewatch)

January 21, 2011 by Chikorita157 3 Comments


Madoka and Sayaka finally understand what they need to be as magical girls. Unfortunately, witch hunting could be dangerous in this instance with this one witch Mami fought.

For this episode, I watched this with other people (Roghek, Sorrow-kun, kadian1364 and others) and had a pretty interesting discussion with the episode. (Image Source)

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)

In no doubt, this is the best reaction from Victiorica ever thus far!

With Victorica and Kazuya trying to solve the fortuneteller murder, they are led to a mysterious boat. The Queen Barry is where the maid may have escaped, which is notorious for murders and traps for the “hares.”

Taste Test Part I – Hourou Musuko (Wandering Son)

January 16, 2011 by Chikorita157 7 Comments
Unfortunately, things can't stay the same forever...

In some shows, most notably Baka to Test to Shoukanjuu, they use crossdressing as comedy. This mostly involves a male dressing as a female to make it really difficult to tell the real gender of the person. However, in Hourou Musuko (aka Wandering Son), the show takes a more serious and realistic approach. They focus on the issues of transgender people similar to what transgendered people faces and growing up through two people, Nitori and Takatsuki.

Taste Test Part II – Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica

January 14, 2011 by Chikorita157 1 Comment
Madoka is so obsessed of becoming one so quickly...

In the last episode, Mami saved Madoka and Sayaka from the bizarre world. After Madoka saved Kyubei, the magical ferret, it chose her and Sayaka to risk their lives to become magical girls so they can have their wish granted.  In addition, the girls learn more about the magical girls, witches and their rivalry with Homura.

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

January 12, 2011 by Chikorita157 6 Comments
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. However, it’s not just any ordinary case… It’s the really difficult ones! (Image Source)

Taste Test Part I – Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica

January 8, 2011 by Chikorita157 4 Comments
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.

Aria the Animation – Episodes 1 and 2 – First Impressions

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. (Image Source)

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)

Arthur goes crazy over his sister seducing the Demon King. Great Moment by the way...First off in the DVDs I have got, I decided to take a look at the first two episodes of Tears to Tiara, an eroge RPG game made by Aquaplus’s Leaf. Basically, it’s takes dark ages that involve an empire like Rome with various myths associated to the time period.

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.
