Anime blog that focuses on Yuri and School Girl Slice of Life Anime and Editorials
When I watched the first episode of Hanayamata, I wondered how foreigners are portrayed in Anime stereotypically. I think there are several reasons why authors/creators decide to do so in their works.

It seems that Illya wants the older sister status so badly!

Believe it or not, girls with animal ears are cuteâĶ Too bad Yaya didn’t wear the cat ears.

In the past year, Compile Heart and Idea Factory has been expanding the Neptune franchise by making various spinoffs in order to reach a wider audience. Last year, they made an idol simulator, which left a disappointing taste in my mouth. This year, they released a strategy RPG featuring Noire (Chou Megami Shinkoku Noire Gekishin, čķ
åĨģįĨäŋĄäŧ°ããŊãžãŦæŋįĨ) and planning to release an action game, which is developed by Tamsoft, the makers of Senran Kagura at the end of this month. While Iâm not interested in the latter, I decided to get this game since I enjoy Noire/White Heartâs personality. Since Iâm close to half way done with this game (currently on Chapter 4), itâs time to reveal what I think about the game first hand.

Before the fight got out of hand, Irisviel managed to save the day.

Surprised that Naru’s dad suddenly noticed how much she changed after six episodes.

It seems like yesterday since I turned 24 years old. Like last year, it has been a calm year thus far except for the couple big snowstorms. Not to mention, I have been focusing primarily on learning new vocabulary and Kanji from playing video games and memorizing them through flash cards. I am still planning to tackle grammar needed for JPLT (will focus on N3 next year) with the references I have since there are apparently not many good advanced level textbooks unless you want to learn from one that is only in Japanese.
As I turn 25 years old, I have a feeling that 1/4th of my life has already passed by me although I look younger than my actual age. During those years, I have been focusing mostly on education. After the fall semester, I will finally complete my masterâs degree and find my first job. I have high hopes that I will get a good paying job, but it wonât be easy. Once I get a one, I donât expect things to be drastically different depending on the workload. In fact, I will be able to cover more types of content and be able to attend Anime conventions. Not sure which one I will go to, but Otakon is a good possibility since itâs only about a 3-hour drive from where I live. Iâll figure it out once I get there.
With that, feel free to say Happy Birthday in the comments below. Â I will be streaming games today and tomorrow, so feel free to watch on Hitbox, if you want.

Unfortunately, Kuro couldnât keep it in any longerâĶ

While I’m two episodes behind Sailor Moon Crystal, I am shocked that she still doesn’t know how to use a computer in 2014!

For a while now, I have noticed a downward trend in the blogosphere since 2012 as episodic blogging is coming out of favor with bloggers either giving blogging or forego other types of content such as essays, analysis and reviews. With Hannerâs Anime Blog throwing in the towel just a few months ago, I wonder if episodic blogging has outlived its usefulness in an age where legal streaming is widespread. Furthermore, I think there are better ways to present an analysis rather than share than in 12 separate posts.

Koei-Tecmoâs acquisition of Gust has left a bad taste in most fansâ mouths when they decided that they are not going to include dual audio in Atelier Ayesha (I shared my thoughts on this issue in an editorial about localization issues I wrote early last year). Not to mention, there has been reports that they poorly handled Escha and Logy localization. Eventually, I ended up just importing the Japanese copies of the game since I knew enough Japanese to understand most of the game.
Although I considered getting a Japanese copy of the game for the Playstation 3, I decided to wait since Gust in December announced a Plus version for the Vita. Since I finally finished the game, itâs time to share my overall thoughts about the game.

Kuro is now invading Illyaâs school life. Will she let her ruin it?

Tami definitely foots the bill as a older sister-type, aside from Azusa.

Just recently, I shared my thoughts on why Game Freak should finally revamp the PokÃĐmon Anime. While reading through some of the comments, I thought to myself if Anime is really a gloried infomercial or advertisement for a source material. If that were the case, would Anime necessarily lose creative merit because of this?

In an instant, Illyaâs life has been turned upside down all thanks to Kuro!

I bet a lot of people are wondering why most Japanese songs have English words. They do it because itâs cute and cool.

In the past few years, I have been bothered by most of the male leads from romantic comedies since most of them lack a backbone. After watching the first episode of Nisekoi, I knew it was going to be different.

Ever since I regained my interest in Japanese Role Playing games back in 2012, besides the Tales of games (so far, I played some of Graces f and finished Hearts), I decided to give some of the Atelier games a try. Â When I started playing it, it differed from other Japanese RPGs not because it focuses less on combat, but rather more on the time management aspect. After playing five games from the franchise, I wonder what lessons I learned along the way in order to use the in-game time efficiently.
…
Sadly, today is not Illyaâs lucky day, especially when Kuro is on the loose.

Yep, love is already in the air and we are only in the second week of the summer anime season.

For a long time, I consider gaming as one my main hobbies next to watching Anime. When I find out that No Game No Life focuses on two hikkimori siblings who are also gamers, I decided to watch it.
…
PokÃĐmon was one of the first shows besides Miyazaki films that helped me gain an interest in Anime. While I remained a fan of PokÃĐmon (or Pocket Monsters) since my childhood, I gradually lost interest in the Anime in the mid 2000s because it got dull and bland.
After watching and reviewing PokÃĐmon the Origin special late last year and reading this controversial thread on Bulbagarden Forums, I have a feeling that Game Freak should revamp the PokÃĐmon Anime to be more like Origins and make Satoshi age or change the protagonist every few years.

It seems that Illya and Miyu is becoming more than just friends. :p

With vacation coming to an end, Iâm finally back to share my initial thoughts for most of the Summer Anime I will be watching.
