I hope everyone had an enjoyable Halloween (personally, I don’t celebrate that holiday because of Trick or Treaters, they are rather annoying).
In case you missed it, I have reviewed Tamako Love Story a few days back.

Tamako Love Story – Movie Review
During the winter of 2013, Kyoto Animation aired Tamako Market, which is a slice of life show that focused on a girl named Kitashirakawa Tamako who is enthusiastic about a marketplace and of course, mochi. While I have enjoyed the show for what it is, it was slightly disappointing at the same time since Mochizou couldn’t gather enough courage to confess his feelings towards Tamako. Not to mention, most of the show was spent mostly on her friends or Dera.
As the title suggest, Tamako Love Story finally addresses the shortcomings of the television series that viewers have been wondering all along: Will Mochizou finally have the guts to confess his love towards Tamako and will she accept it?

Amagi Brilliant Park – Episode 4 – Cooperation, not Demands!

Chou Megami Shinkoku Noire Gekishin Black Heart – Final Review
With the success of the Neptune franchise, Idea Factory and Compile Heart has been expanding the franchise by making various spinoff games for the Playstation Vita. While I was disappointed with Neptune Idol PP, I had high hopes for Chou Megami Shinkoku Noire Gekishin Black Heart since it was a full-featured strategy RPG with Noire as the main heroine. Does it live up to expectations? Let’s find out.

The Glass Shatters – Why Glasslip is the Most Disappointing PA Works Show Yet
I admit that PA Works (Progressive Animation Works) is one of my favorite studios besides Kyoto Animation not because of the high production values, but rather the types of shows they come out. The studio is more known for its original productions, some that I actually enjoyed.
After watching Glasslip, I was deeply disappointed and wondered to my self, why did it fail? It’s odd considering that they played it safe with a premise that they can’t possibly mess it up. Ultimately, we are proven wrong.

Hanayamata – Final Review

Fate/Kaleid Liner Prisma Illya 2wei – Final Review
When the first episode of Prisma Illya aired last summer, I decided to watch it since I have a soft spot for magical girl shows. Although the first season felt rushed since it only has 10 episodes, I really enjoyed the premise, battles and the characters. After watching the second season, it was an improvement.

Weekly Anime Impressions – Summer 2014 – Week 11
Fall is almost here and I’m somewhat swamped with course work.

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