What makes a “So Bad It’s Good?” and Ridiculous Anime Enjoyable to watch?

I have been wondering for a while why people tend to enjoy shows that are either have a ridiculous premise or ones that it can be considered as “so bad it’s good.” While I have shared my thoughts about bad anime, I wonder what qualities make a show so bad it’s good.

Bullying and Generalizing People for Liking Anime and/or Video Games

September 13, 2014 by Chikorita157 11 Comments
Artist: supertie
Artist: supertie

In the past few weeks, I have witnessed a lot of bullying and name-calling shaming people who play or enjoy video games. It’s true that people tend to judge people depending on tastes and their hobbies such as people who like Anime since it’s a niche medium. Because of this, people who are not familiar with it will likely hold an ignorant, distorted or uninformed view on it and generalize them to a certain stereotype or label.

Gamers and Otakus – Should Hobbies get tied to a Label?

After I shared my thoughts about Miyazaki’s remarks on otakus and the Anime Industry’s focus on that demographic, one of the comments caught my attention to write about this topic: Should you call yourself an otaku or even a gamer? (Image Source)

Ore no Imouto 2 OVA – I can’t believe my Star-Crossed Lovers Romance Story can be this Tragic!

August 22, 2013 by Chikorita157 3 Comments
This is how I felt after watching the OVAs.
This is how I felt after watching the OVAs.

After witnessing the massive disappointment from the second season’s finale of Ore no Imouto, there is something that I came up with while watching the OVAs. Basically, I felt that this show is literally a tragic love story as Ruri, Ayase and Manami have their dreams crushed by a forbidden incestuous relationship between Kyousuke and his little sister.

This makes me wonder, was it worth it for him to go through all of this? My analysis says otherwise. (Image Source)

After spending about 11 and a half days relaxing on vacation in Chicago and Wisconsin, it finally came to an end this afternoon. So, I’m catching up with everything and hopefully I’ll be back on track by end of this week. With that, I want to share my thoughts about Ore no Imouto 2, which has been one of the most anticipated sequel for the Spring 2013 season. However, this sequel disappointed a good amount of people for various reasons. (Image Source)

Tiger Moms and Eagle Dads – Strict Parenting in Anime

September 1, 2012 by Chikorita157 4 Comments


Just recently, something has come into my mind about how parents raise their children in Anime after watching the 8th episode of Tari Tari. With the stereotype of Asian parents wanting their children to succeed such as the Tiger Mom and Eagle Dad, some of these stereotypes are also present in Anime. This is because Asian countries typically value education a lot, which is why they tend to rank high on science and math. For that, I’m going to explain what these terms mean with examples from various shows. (Image Source)

Nogizaka Haruka and Ore no Imouto… Two different worlds on the Otaku Subculture.

December 10, 2010 by Chikorita157 2 Comments
While Haruka looks cute, the story isn't...

I have always wondered about the themes Ore no Imouto covered since it was a topic that has been done in the past, but not well executed.  Nogizaka Haruka no Himitsu covered only the surface of the Otaku subculture but only to throw it out of the window in the second season.

While there are some resemblances of the two shows, they are significantly different. The difference between them is what I want to cover. (Original Image)

Ayase kind of got her best friend, Kirino angry about her hobby. She allows Kyousuke to help her with a gift that will make Kirino happy and forgive her.  Sadly, this requires someone to do the most embarrassing thing for a non-Otaku… COSPLAY!
